This week, I finalized the design of the cover for the second book in the Lancaster’s Love Series! I find it so inspiring to have my rough ideas perfected and made real by my wonderful book cover designer over at Red Leaf Book Design.
She doesn’t pay me or otherwise incentivize me to talk about her, but I do because she is amazing. (IF by some magic you end up heading her way and using her for one of YOUR books, tell her to let me know. Again, I will emphasize that I have no incentive to do so, but I would be very interested to find out if an author read my blog and found her as a result of that. It would just be fun.)
I am SO tempted to just show the cover right here, right now, but I want to build some suspense. For anyone who hasn’t read or finished the first one, I don’t want to ruin the surprise by showing you the second one, at least until we are closer to its publish date. (TBA-The date itself isn’t decided, but we are looking at a spring release!)
I WILL show you the updated cover for the first book!
For reference: Here is the original cover.
Beautiful, right? I know! I love it, and I was totally happy with it, but…
Here’s another reason why I’m gushing about my designer. While she was working on the Book Two cover, she got an idea for Into the Night and tweaked it a bit without me even asking or mentioning anything. I didn’t know I could love it any more until I saw THIS ONE:
I don’t know if this will catch your interest or if it will just annoy you, but I AM going to show you a tiny snippet of the cover for Book Two.
That’s all you get, for now…
