On Friday, October 13th, I posted about a mistake I'd made with the book covers for the upcoming third and fourth books in my DEA Special Agents series. I almost always have book covers show the dogs in the story, but I forgot to tell my cover artist to add them!
Many of you were so kind, and offered opinions on what I should do: go with the dog-less book covers as-is, or have them redone ASAP, to include the correct dogs that appear in each of the books.
The Suspensesisters authors usually post just once a month or so, but I asked Nancy Mehl if I could post again just to express my thanks to everyone who left comments.
Though I was in a bit of a tizzy, since the release dates are so close, all of you helped clarify both the situation and the solution.
For comparison, look at the bottom cover. Deadly Noel is the book released on October 18th--and it has a dog on the cover. :)
Thank you to everyone who offered advice.
You are all so kind!

Oh yes, it’s quite nice! My first time to see a beagle on the cover. I love the angles of the bodies of the dog and the woman on deadly Noel. It works! Barbara Diggs
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara!
DeleteYes! The dogs look much better!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beverly. I'm so glad I asked for opinions here on Suspensesisters!
DeleteGlad you were able to adjust the covers. Yay for dogs. Becca12901
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope I don't make the same mistake again! LOL
DeleteI’m glad you chose dogs and were able to adjust your covers!
ReplyDeleteLove having the dogs on the cover. Much better appeal in my opinion. I know I'd be more apt to pick up a new to me author if there was a dog on the cover. :)

The same is true for me as well!
DeleteI always like seeing dogs (or any animal) on the cover of books. These cover look great!
ReplyDeleteYou have reminded me that I need to re-think the covers for PERFECT TARGET and HIDEN TARGET. They have just a cowboy on each one, but I'm guessing maybe some readers imagine they are just men's western fiction. They are definitely Christian romantic suspense, but i don't think the covers portray that well.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the new updated covers! That was a quick fix!! Yay!
ReplyDeleteLove the covers!
ReplyDeleteI love these covers!!!
ReplyDeleteThe covers look really great! I'm glad you were able to get them done so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe new covers look wonderful! I'm glad they were able to come together for you , Roxanne. :)
