I have a new cover. Actually, I have two new covers, but I’m only showing one today. You have to wait for the other one until next week. Yeah, I’m nasty like that.
The cover is for the mass market version of YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY. This is the smaller (less expensive) version of the book from last summer that will be out in March ‘09. The original cover is sooooo pretty. It’s pink, sexy and classy. But the general sense was, despite the loveliness of that cover, that the mass market version needed more vibrant colors. Works for me.
The first attempt at the mass market cover was very nice. It was red. Another adorable couple. But my oddness caused some problems. First, you could see the guy’s one nipple. Something about the angle made me see only that nipple. Then my editor mentioned that the font made “Mouth” look like “Month” which only gave me something new to focus on.
nipple*month*nipple*month
Yeah, we revised that cover a bit so that my OCD did not go into overdrive. In the end, this:
became this:

Any chance we can get to see that nipple– I mean, the first cover attempt? Just curious.
by Fancy June 27th, 2008 at 6:24 amWant nipple! Just kidding. Not. I like both covers. Annie is a redhead, right? So the second is a little more “accurate.” Kane is hot on both.
by Jill Sorenson June 27th, 2008 at 8:48 amBoth of the covers are really nice. Very steamy. I love your OCD-ness. I would’ve been the same way. And the idea of ‘nipple’ and ‘month’ running through your mind and being the sole focus had me giggling. Of course, part of that is it made me think ‘a month of nipples…’

by mickey June 28th, 2008 at 12:03 pmI really like the updated cover, too. It looks like his mouth is driving her crazy, in the first one she looks kinda bored : -(
by Cheryl McInnis June 29th, 2008 at 6:09 pmI also like both covers, but I love the color of the 2nd one more. They are both sensual without being overtly done – very tasteful and appealing to readers.
