Email This Post HomeFictionHelp me pick a cover and HUGE cozy mystery ebook giveaway Amy Vansant March 1, 2017 Fiction, Humor 451 Comments Which cover pose do you prefer? I’m working on the next Kilty novel, part of which takes place around 1833. I’ve been looking for artwork that my cover designer Novak Illustration can tweak to be the new cover – he’ll drop in the background, fix lighting, slap a kilt on the guy…. I just can’t decide between five fairly similar poses. Can you help me decide? Weigh-in with your thoughts below in the comments and you can win one of 10 copies of Kilty as Charged! (or if you already have that, I’ll get you another book or the next Kilty when it is out) First, want a sneak peak how this magic works? Here’s the original photo we used and the finished cover for the first book. Neat, huh? So here are the five – let me know what pose you like best and I’d love to hear what you do and don’t like about any of them. (He will of course have a kilt Photoshopped on to him!) And big giveaway on AXP this week – Cozy Mysteries!

In 2, she has her arms crossed in front of her which doesn’t feel receptive to me. I like all the other ones, but #1 is my favorite. 13 likes Reply Marsha March 1, 2017 And what is that extra piece of fabric hanging off of her left hip in 3,4 and 5?

They both have smouldering looks and she definitely has the romance cover hair going. #1 she has a weird smile, #2 she looks like she has a stomach ache, #3 she looks bored and in #5 her dress looks like it is falling off, but not in a good way. 0 likes Reply Tamara March 5, 2017 I like number 4 the best because they seem the most connected.

For me who looks at title and a book cover before reviews…I like 4 the most. It is the start of the temptation for each other while still discovering each other.

March 1, 2017 Here’s how I see it 3-5 are almost the same shot. It’s like the camera caught the couple in the beginning of a embrace and shows the progression. Number two I really like the expressions but not her folded hands, now if it could look like his hands were enfolded or on top of hers this would be the best cover ever. Number one I don’t really like her smile in this case. So number two if changes could be made or number three just remove the dangly thing. 0 likes Reply Sharon Guagliardo March 1, 2017 #2 is the one that immediately drew my eye both in the email and on this page, too.

So it wil be cover 1 where at least you cath a glimpse of a smile. 2 likes Reply Diana Morelli March 1, 2017 I like #4 the best. You can feel the their connection in that one the best. 1 likes Reply Emily Endrizzi March 1, 2017 Ok. I really don’t like any of these that much. Number 1 is probably the best though. She’s smiling and that’s a good thing. It looks like she doesn’t hate being there. The dress makes her a bit wide looking at that angle though and that’s my only real issue with number 1, but the dead right arm is kinda weird too. Number 2: looks like she’s cradling a baby or maybe she’s pregnant. Again, the white dress at that angle is making her look wider than she is. Number 3: I see zero connection between the two models. It doesn’t feel real. Feels very posed, which it is of course, but shouldn’t feel that way. Plus, she has a piece of her dress (apparently ripped off in their “passion”) just hanging there strangely for the rest of the pictures. Number 4: it literally looks like she is trying to push away from the guy and he is trying to force her to stay by clawing at her shoulder and back. The woman’s hand on his chest is like she’s trying to get away. And the set of her chin and jaw says she’s really not into him. Her eyes are glued shut in all of the pics like she’s trying to go to her imaginary happy place and away from this guy. I do like the “wind-swept” hair. Number 5: Eyes glued shut again. Face turned away like he has got some bad breath. Lips turned downward like she’s not happy. Her dress is coming off of her, but I can’t imagine why from their pose. There is no passion. Sorry. Maybe I’m reading too much into these pics. Number 1 gets my vote, but would be better if dress color could be changed to something less wedding dress like and maybe photoshop her waist a bit so she doesn’t look so thick waisted. 2 likes Reply Emily Endrizzi March 2, 2017 Showed pics to the fiancé. He picked out number 4 as his favorite. Looking over them again, I really do like that (#4) pose the best (minus the white fanny pack hanging there) from a distance. The wind-swept hair is beautiful. It’s only when I zoom in and look closer that I notice the issues I listed above. From a distance all is well and honestly, I probably was over-thinking it before.

Completely focused on each other. 0 likes Reply Jenny Kelly March 1, 2017 #1 is the best one- I really like the way their heads are and the way their bodies are turned. That being said, there are several things I’d change. I’d have her left arm up, though, and her hand curled just below his ear and slightly around the nape of his neck with the tip of her thumb resting on his jawline, and his hand would be resting on her forearm. I’d also straighten out the wrinkles on the right side of her dress, and center that inverted “V” waistline- it’s off center and needs to be more or less centered with the point of the “V” of her neckline. And fix his cowlick, please? 3 likes Reply Tanya March 1, 2017 Yes! I wanted to mention the arm as well, but had said so much already and thought they might not be willing to reshoot. If able to hide it during the Photomanipulation though and not have it just hang there, that would be fine. 0 likes Reply Della Williamson March 1, 2017 Like No 1 the best. They look calm. Relaxed. And sharing a moment together. Much more romantic. 1 likes Reply Tanya March 1, 2017 I prefer #1. They look happy together and it’s an inviting photo. #2 his face looks drawn around his mouth, her arm shows ripples, and she’s hugging her stomach as though she might be in pain. Numbers 3-5 are awkward. Her dress is falling off and has that odd section in the back just hanging. Plus I’m so tired of seeing covers of men with their pants half down and stomachs exposed. It’s a turn off. Too suggestive. #4 His bicep indents and isn’t flattering. #5 Isn’t flattering of her back. 1 likes Reply Sue March 1, 2017 I like 1 the best 1 likes Reply Margaret March 1, 2017 I like the third photo best. 0 likes Reply Mary Marquez March 1, 2017 I prefer the first one.

I think a kilt would be easier to add into that image as well. I can picture just about any historical background being able to fit into that one. #5 would work similarly, but I don’t like her hand on his face. It looks a little contrived. #1 just puts me to sleep. They look bored. I’m bored. #2 looks like she’s holding an imaginary baby. Not a good pose. #3 seems a little too contrived though I will admit I like it better than either of the first two.

Good luck picking! 0 likes Reply Vikki Watson March 2, 2017 Of the 5 I like 1 the best if you want them to be into each other. 2 thru 5 look very tense with no familiarity. 1 can be photoshopped to add a kilt, rough beard, and hair extensions. And make her dress more in line with the period. 2 would be great if her arms were in a different position. If the period is 1833 the necklace has to go no matter which one you use. 3,4, & 5 are just to stiff.

There is intimacy, anticipation, respect, a desire to give not take, mystery and romance – a lifelong relationship. This picture creates in me a longing to read a loving story of a couple wanting to spend the rest of their lives discovering each other, overcoming whatever comes their way. It is a cover that builds anticipation of a good story. Number 5 screams “take me now” and gives the impression that that is all there will be – a momentary satisfaction of a lust and no on-going respect or desire to build a relationship. This says to me there will be little to the story but the fastest way into bed and the longest way in keeping it a secret – not a well developed plot, little character development and a story that does not create interest. 0 likes Reply Hyacinth Janecyk March 3, 2017 I like #3 the best – 2nd is #5 0 likes Reply Stacy March 3, 2017 I like the number 4 cover.

I’m working on the next Kilty novel, part of which takes place around 1833. I’ve been looking for artwork that my cover designer Novak Illustration can tweak to be the new cover – he’ll drop in the background, fix lighting, slap a kilt on the guy…. I just can’t decide between five fairly similar poses. Can you help me decide? Weigh-in with your thoughts below in the comments and you can win one of 10 copies of Kilty as Charged! (or if you already have that, I’ll get you another book or the next Kilty when it is out) First, want a sneak peak how this magic works? Here’s the original photo we used and the finished cover for the first book. Neat, huh? So here are the five – let me know what pose you like best and I’d love to hear what you do and don’t like about any of them. (He will of course have a kilt Photoshopped on to him!)

Number one I don’t really like her smile in this case. So number two if changes could be made or number three just remove the dangly thing. 0 likes Reply

Emily Endrizzi March 1, 2017 Ok. I really don’t like any of these that much. Number 1 is probably the best though. She’s smiling and that’s a good thing. It looks like she doesn’t hate being there. The dress makes her a bit wide looking at that angle though and that’s my only real issue with number 1, but the dead right arm is kinda weird too. Number 2: looks like she’s cradling a baby or maybe she’s pregnant. Again, the white dress at that angle is making her look wider than she is. Number 3: I see zero connection between the two models. It doesn’t feel real. Feels very posed, which it is of course, but shouldn’t feel that way. Plus, she has a piece of her dress (apparently ripped off in their “passion”) just hanging there strangely for the rest of the pictures. Number 4: it literally looks like she is trying to push away from the guy and he is trying to force her to stay by clawing at her shoulder and back. The woman’s hand on his chest is like she’s trying to get away. And the set of her chin and jaw says she’s really not into him. Her eyes are glued shut in all of the pics like she’s trying to go to her imaginary happy place and away from this guy. I do like the “wind-swept” hair. Number 5: Eyes glued shut again. Face turned away like he has got some bad breath. Lips turned downward like she’s not happy. Her dress is coming off of her, but I can’t imagine why from their pose. There is no passion. Sorry. Maybe I’m reading too much into these pics. Number 1 gets my vote, but would be better if dress color could be changed to something less wedding dress like and maybe photoshop her waist a bit so she doesn’t look so thick waisted. 2 likes Reply
Emily Endrizzi March 2, 2017 Showed pics to the fiancé. He picked out number 4 as his favorite. Looking over them again, I really do like that (#4) pose the best (minus the white fanny pack hanging there) from a distance. The wind-swept hair is beautiful.

KD CLARK March 1, 2017 I like #1 the best. Truth be told – I am getting tired of naked to the waist hunky muscly men on the covers of romance novels. This one also has more emotion and less lust. Thanks for your contest. I wish everyone Good Luck! Love & Peace, 🙂 2 likes Reply
Laura Johnston March 1, 2017 The woman in number 4 shows that she is into him. They look more sensual, intimate. Number 1 makes me think they have a secret or he just told a joke.

Jenny Kelly March 1, 2017 #1 is the best one- I really like the way their heads are and the way their bodies are turned. That being said, there are several things I’d change. I’d have her left arm up, though, and her hand curled just below his ear and slightly around the nape of his neck with the tip of her thumb resting on his jawline, and his hand would be resting on her forearm. I’d also straighten out the wrinkles on the right side of her dress, and center that inverted “V” waistline- it’s off center and needs to be more or less centered with the point of the “V” of her neckline. And fix his cowlick, please? 3 likes Reply
Tanya March 1, 2017 Yes! I wanted to mention the arm as well, but had said so much already and thought they might not be willing to reshoot. If able to hide it during the Photomanipulation though and not have it just hang there, that would be fine. 0 likes Reply

Tanya March 1, 2017 I prefer #1. They look happy together and it’s an inviting photo. #2 his face looks drawn around his mouth, her arm shows ripples, and she’s hugging her stomach as though she might be in pain. Numbers 3-5 are awkward. Her dress is falling off and has that odd section in the back just hanging. Plus I’m so tired of seeing covers of men with their pants half down and stomachs exposed. It’s a turn off. Too suggestive. #4 His bicep indents and isn’t flattering. #5 Isn’t flattering of her back. 1 likes Reply

Monica March 1, 2017 I believe picture #5 would provide the biggest impact on the cover of your new novel.

Shandra T March 1, 2017 #4 captures my eye the most since it’s very sensual with her hand gripping his chest and the long line of her back exposed while his hand is gripping her neck. I think a kilt would be easier to add into that image as well. I can picture just about any historical background being able to fit into that one. #5 would work similarly, but I don’t like her hand on his face. It looks a little contrived. #1 just puts me to sleep. They look bored. I’m bored. #2 looks like she’s holding an imaginary baby. Not a good pose. #3 seems a little too contrived though I will admit I like it better than either of the first two. Just my two knuts. 1 likes Reply

If yes, fine but if not, ditch that one. In 3, if he was holding her like he is in 4, that would be better. It just looks like he isn’t that into her. 4 looks like she’s straining her neck and looks contrived and uncomfortable. 5 looks the most natural in a sexy, yes we’re both into it, kind of way. Good luck picking! 0 likes Reply
Vikki Watson March 2, 2017 Of the 5 I like 1 the best if you want them to be into each other. 2 thru 5 look very tense with no familiarity. 1 can be photoshopped to add a kilt, rough beard, and hair extensions. And make her dress more in line with the period. 2 would be great if her arms were in a different position. If the period is 1833 the necklace has to go no matter which one you use. 3,4, & 5 are just to stiff. Hope I was able to help. 1 likes Reply

She’s not participating in the moment. 3 & 5 – Look posed. She’s standing absolutely upright. 4 – This one! The slight tilt of her head takes away from the stiff, posed look. She looks involved here.

Hank David March 3, 2017 I like number 1 the best – it shows more of a desire for love instead of lust. There is intimacy, anticipation, respect, a desire to give not take, mystery and romance – a lifelong relationship. This picture creates in me a longing to read a loving story of a couple wanting to spend the rest of their lives discovering each other, overcoming whatever comes their way. It is a cover that builds anticipation of a good story. Number 5 screams “take me now” and gives the impression that that is all there will be – a momentary satisfaction of a lust and no on-going respect or desire to build a relationship. This says to me there will be little to the story but the fastest way into bed and the longest way in keeping it a secret – not a well developed plot, little character development and a story that does not create interest. 0 likes Reply

Sondra Koch March 5, 2017 #5. She looks like she is giving him a tender touch. That show’s she is emotionally involved with him, not just physically. 0 likes Reply
Kerry Hall March 5, 2017 Amy I have looked at the 5 poses and although the two bods are gorgeous, I feel they should have their eyes open looking at each other. No.1 No passion for the female she smiles like its a joke. No 2. She looks offended. No 3. Possible, but the body language is not there. No 4.Looks like he is pulling her to him and she wants to turn her head away.No 5 She is into it, but his body language with holding her wrist says no. So sorry I wouldn’t have any. 0 likes Reply
