I Have a Cover!
IN THE NEWS: Florida beekeeper stole bees from rivals. Read more HERE.
I'm excited because I finally--yes FINALLY--have a cover for my October Avalon release: Georgie on His Mind!
You know most publishers will ask for an author's input on their cover. And Avalon Books was no exception. So here's what I submitted to them as far as my idea for a cover:
I was thinking since the story primarily takes place in a pharmacy (where they both work), it might be cute to have the title written in a handwriting font on a prescription pad. Maybe even put some “heart” doodle drawings on the pad, too.
Also since a prescription pad is just black and white, if the color background of the book could be a bright or contrasting color, it would make it pop out more.
Thank you.
I know. But that's the best I could come up with!
But obviously that's the best Avalon could come up with too--or I'm really great at designing covers--because here's my cover:
Maybe I'm missing my calling. :)
So word to the wise: Give careful thought when a publisher asks you for cover art advice. They just might listen to you! LOL
But isn't it a cute cover?
