My favorites are ones which contain one standout element with a smaller rendering of the hero and heroine (but not too busy). I think I may be the only one here who feels this way, but branding the line with Myrna Mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15313509459687203044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098811.post-77610920638687288332008-12-23T22:25:00.000+00:002008-12-23T22:25:00.000+00:00Hi Kathryn,In terms of covers, I have to say I'm i...Hi Kathryn,<BR/><BR/>In terms of covers, I have to say I'm in agreement with most of the others here. The Romance covers are really quite lovely, but I like to get a hint of the setting from a cover too. Having said that, like Donna, I don't like a busy cover either.<BR/><BR/>Love your idea of images of feet telling a story, Liz.Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586192358963827660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098811.post-44437716267362381422008-12-23T22:21:00.000+00:002008-12-23T22:21:00.000+00:00Merry Christmas, Liz - thanks for keeping us enter...Merry Christmas, Liz - thanks for keeping us entertained this year with your wonderful books (and your fun blog!).<BR/><BR/>Like Nic, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Wedded in a Whirlwind!Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586192358963827660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098811.post-31587588148706849632008-12-23T21:14:00.000+00:002008-12-23T21:14:00.000+00:00With covers, I want a cover that encapsulates the ...With covers, I want a cover that encapsulates the essence of the book at a glance, whether it be passionate, sweet, romantic, family, whatever.<BR/><BR/>The new Romance covers have been lovely, really romantic.Romance, Rumours and Rogueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963588627159310121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098811.post-7701750791815330852008-12-23T21:11:00.000+00:002008-12-23T21:11:00.000+00:00Merry Christmas, Liz!'Wedded in a Whirlwind' shoul...Merry Christmas, Liz!<BR/><BR/>'Wedded in a Whirlwind' should hit OZ shelves next week, can't wait!!!Romance, Rumours and Rogueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963588627159310121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098811.post-28240794700334494762008-12-23T15:41:00.000+00:002008-12-23T15:41:00.000+00:00Hi, Kathryn, I agree with Ann about Historical cov...Hi, Kathryn, <BR/>I agree with Ann about Historical covers. I wish more attention was paid to the clothing.<BR/><BR/>I write in the Regency period and have generally loved my covers but wish that cover artists would look at images of Regency dress to get it right. All it takes is one image of Colin Firth dressed as Mr. Darcy to learn that a gentleman does not tie a neckcloth in a floppy bow.

Very romantic feeling and story oriented.<BR/><BR/>What makes a good cover for me is one that a) reflects something in the story, and b) has the characters right. If I have a blonde in the book, a heroine with black hair on the cover drives me mad. And I like it when the covers aren't too busy.<BR/><BR/>One trend Donna Alwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107885864783850332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098811.post-83394369471505107032008-12-23T13:56:00.000+00:002008-12-23T13:56:00.000+00:00I love my very first cover, for the January 2009 U...I love my very first cover, for the January 2009 Undone. The first print book won't be out until April and I haven't seen a cover for it yet. Can't wait!<BR/><BR/>But I do agree with the concept of a shorthand that readers expect. Since I write historicals, the one thing that makes authors and readers a bit crazy is when the clothes etc are wrong for the period. Especially the Regency.

I think most of us would like something "tasteful" that no one would feel embarrassed reading on the Tube. However, we know from bitter experience, that readers want a cover and title that gives them an instant summary of what the book is about -- something that they can grab from the supermarket shelf while coping with the kids Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520297413864180027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098811.post-89671693780726865742008-12-23T08:54:00.000+00:002008-12-23T08:54:00.000+00:00Merry Christmas Liz, and have a wonderful New Year...Merry Christmas Liz, and have a wonderful New Year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098811.post-42812454786365697362008-12-23T02:39:00.000+00:002008-12-23T02:39:00.000+00:00Mele kalikimaka a me hau'oli makahiki hou mai Hawa...Mele kalikimaka a me hau'oli makahiki hou mai Hawai'i nei!<BR/><BR/>Mahalo a nui loa e Liz.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from beloved Hawai'i! <BR/><BR/>A great big thank you Liz.<BR/><BR/>I loved reading through all your guest author blogs and loved reading your monthly home page poems and writing!
