My entry for the cover contest

I'm taking part in the  'Design a Book Cover Contest'

Teralyn Rose Pilgrim is hosting a fantastic fun contest over at her blog.  I've been working on my WIP, the third story in the futuristic series that started with STARQUEST  for far too long and I hope to get it finished and submitted to my publisher by the end of the year at the latest.  I designed a cover to give myself inspiration when I rough drafted the story for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and when I heard of this fun contest I completely revamped it with new models (Yes, that is Jimmy Thomas!)

The contest takes place at

http://teralynpilgrim.blogspot.com

where you'll find the links to all the other covers taking part. All you have to do is click on 'LIKE' on the three covers you like the best.  Of course I hope mine will be one of them, but please cast your votes anyway, as the more people who vote, the more fun it will be.  And of course if you do vote for me you'll earn my heartfelt thanks forever!  (I'm #8)


Thanks for stopping by my blog  - have fun with this Blog Hop contest.

Thanks Teralyn

Yes, I was lucky to find that background, I wanted something starry, but not too dark!

I love the halo effect around the male. Very cool!

Ali, thanks so much for visiting and your kind comment - I' really glad you like the title, I wasn't too sure about it at first, but it really encapsulates the relationship that develops between the two main charactes!

Nice cover, Lyn - good luck with it. That's a fun contest.

Jennette Green said...

Lyn,

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I love your cover, as well! It's so much fun to design covers, isn't it? By the way, I posted a new blog this morning that you might be interested in--it's about a free marketing opportunity for authors on one of my websites. If you're interested, here's the link: Jennette Green blog

Have a great day!

:) Jennette

Neat cover, Hywela! :) I like the font you used for the cover. It's so big and bold! I got a lot of inspiration out of participating in this contest too. It was such a great idea.
