Thanks to everyone who voted in the cover poll, texted, emailed, and sent carrier pigeons to tell me which cover they liked. I’m so grateful because, not only did you choose a favorite, you explained your decision. I got feedback about image, font, colors…
With all that interest in my cover, you made this writer very happy. Onward!
In the poll, the winner was #1 (tree and rainy window) with #4 (shadows and flowers) a close second. However, a lot of people who voted for #1 commented that they liked #4 as well for various reasons. Behind the scenes, #4 won by a landslide.
Do I need to say I chose #4?
Well…I will. And I did. We took some of the elements from #1 (including more black background for easier readability), changed the font, and tweaked a few things.
Voila. We have ourselves a cover. One I’m thrilled with.
Still need to finish the nuts and bolts of the thing, you know, but am so pleased to have the cover of my book completed. Thanks, again, to the lovely Rachael Ritchey for designing and to all of you for providing invaluable feedback and helping to create this cover.
Hinting at Shadows will be available November 2016. 🙂
Awesome, Sarah. I can’t remember how I voted, but I approve your choice. I can’t believe your book is going to be available next month. I’m looking forward to reading it. Best wishes. Woohoo!

I’m looking forward to the next stage, too. Want to be done with this formatting mess. I know we went with a different cover but the other couldn’t be used. I love that image, though, and appreciate your feedback. Hoping to use it for something else. Thanks, Geoff. 🙂
