COVERS...
...are are sometimes a joy, often a heartbreak to the author who has a vivid image in her head, not pictures exactly, but more a feelng of how a book should look.
We have been known to moan -- yes, honestly! -- to one another.
Usually, the response is, but it's lovely, because we can't see inside the author's head, only the outsiders view - the reader's view. But, because we've been there, we do understand the pain.

For once in my life, I have absolutely no complaints about a cover; I hoping you're going to overlook my whinge about the lack of purple hair a few weeks! I've got over it - it was easy enough because I never expected it in the first place.
I have now have all three covers for my ESCAPE AROUND THE WORLD book,
A WEDDING AT LEOPARD TREE LODGE - it's rare for me to have an Australian cover this early but I have the lovely Bronwyn Jameson to thank for that. She got hold of this one early to go with an article appearing in the RWAus magazine in May.
I'm so delighted with all of them, that I've lined them all up in a row and I'm going to ask you which you like best and why. What does it for you? What image pulls you in?
Oh, and while I'm here, I should mention that I've just blogged about this book
