While I love the old covers for The In-Betweener and Forever Between, they don’t really speak to people browsing on Amazon for a new book. After all, I know the story, so I can see the way the covers tie in. Someone who hasn’t read it only sees a dark cover and has no idea why it’s that way. So, with a mixture of excitement and sadness, I went searching for a new artist who could create a cover that worked better.
And I had no idea how wonderful the new ones would be. Feast your eyes! I think he captured Emily wonderfully. What do you think?
On a side note, I went ahead and ordered some copies of both The In-Betweener and Forever Between with the old covers. Why? Because very few people had a chance to get the paperbacks with the old covers, so they’re as rare as hen’s teeth! It might be fun to give those away during giveaways. You never know, they might become collector’s items.
If you’re going to Amazon, then you may or may not see the new covers for a few days. It takes time for new covers to propagate through all their servers. I saw the new one on The In-Betweener this morning and squealed with delight.
The pre-order for book three, Between Life and Death, still has the old cover image up, but never fear, the new one will come soon. The cover artist is super busy (and now possibly even more since so many authors asked me who did the new covers) but I’ll be up to the front of the line again within a couple of weeks.
