Want to know some secrets about my cover?

I love looking at covers - looking for the clues that might be hidden in their design that gives insight into the story behind the cover. Or just looking at the design because anymore, many covers are ART.

I'm being interviewed by Capillya (don't you just love that name?!) over at THAT COVER GIRL today and she asked some great questions about my cover, like this:

TCG: What was your very first reaction when you saw the final design?

and this:

TCG: I’m not a huge fan of faces on covers, but TFR’s cover handled the mystery of Tiki’s face by placing her in the shadows and putting a lot more emphasis on the, well, ring. My favorite part about this cover is the type treatment: its organic and floral accents and subtle shadow. It’s beautiful, but the choice of uppercase grabs your attention in a way that doesn’t make you feel like the title is screaming at you. What’s your favorite part about the cover?

or this:

TCG: Are there any trends in YA cover art that you’ve seen lately that you’ve noticed and loved? Or, have you noticed an evolution in YA cover design in the past few years?


So - lots of fun questions PLUS I reveal some secrets about my cover.  Come over and check it out!

Also - I'm giving away signed bookmarks  -  if you want one - email me your mailing address!

But before you go?  Tell me your favorite YA or MG cover!
