I've had a lot of really nice covers, but this may bemy favorite. I got to have input on this one: I asked that the knight be running into and tilting the last T in "test." And I loved the big red banner with NYT Bestseller.

Black and White. . . the spectrum
Here's my all-time worst cover. The book was a sweet, sexy Tudor romp originally titled "Knaves and Hearts." Then the title was changed and they decided to experiment with the cover. . . and the book came out the week Iraq invaded Kuwait and America was rolling toward war. Nobody was reading, much less books with forbidding black covers and steamy neo-porn step-backs. sigh.

Yes, that was the very best cover! The Husband Test was also the very best read, as well. :-)

Anne, you ought to see the inside of the cover! Aghhhh! And ah, Michele, The Husband Test. . . one of the sweetest and most loving books I've written. If only I could find the buttons that led there again.
ReplyDeletesometimes i think the path to those really special books can't be found again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Candace! Unfortunately not nearly enough readers picked it up in spite of the black and red cover.
