Just gorgeous.<BR/><BR/>But Erin, even if your book cover ended up being hideous, I would still buy your books, no questions asked. It's your writing that keeps me coming back for more.<BR/><BR/>As for new authors, I've had several covers catch my eye, like Shiloh's, and MJD's. Never heard of either author before I saw the amazing book covers each had, then I became a fan because I ended up loving the books. <BR/><BR/>Though that doesn't always happen. Sometimes the cover ends up being the best part of the book. All flash, no substance. You don't have to worry about that Erin :)Stacy~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14919278697757441246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1156035581477637242006-08-19T20:59:00.000-04:002006-08-19T20:59:00.000-04:00The cover definately plays a part in me picking up...The cover definately plays a part in me picking up a book that is not on my autobuy list.

(Then again, yours is a lot "busier" than most I've seen, and this is a good thing. Usually they're way too simple to catch my eye.)<BR/><BR/>In regards to book shopping, I tend to pick books up in the following order:<BR/><BR/>- Cover<BR/>- Author<BR/>- Title<BR/><BR/>What I like on a cover varies from book to book and genre to genre. I don't expect romances to have similar covers to, say, epic fantasy, nor vice versa. So it all depends. :)<BR/><BR/>I won't pass on a book that's genuinely interesting because of the cover... though I may pick up a later reprint with a new one should that happen! lol.Nonny Blackthornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02921408573581637909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1155959187914633982006-08-18T23:46:00.000-04:002006-08-18T23:46:00.000-04:00i won't totally pass on a yuck cover if the author...i won't totally pass on a yuck cover if the author appeals to me, or if the blurb does.<BR/><BR/>but i have bypassed picking up books because of the cover. if the cover doesn't tempt me into picking it up.... eh.... i don't exactly judge a book by it's cover, but i just don't randomly pick up BAD covers.Shiloh Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785046046157000126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1155958221236967492006-08-18T23:30:00.000-04:002006-08-18T23:30:00.000-04:00I'm a sucker for a great cover.

It's the first thing that grabs my attention, even before the author. <BR/><BR/>It's not everything, but in a sea of books, how am I to decide what to pick up and look at (all authors being equal, of course), if not the cover?Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716785419172270884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1155952132822123182006-08-18T21:48:00.000-04:002006-08-18T21:48:00.000-04:00awesome cover Erin...

Now a black and white cover of a bare-chested man holding a baby would work for me. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Some covers I really like are Rosemary Laurey's Keep Me Forever, Lori Foster's Too Much Temptation and Never Too Much, and Susan Elizabeth Phillip's Ain't She Sweet?Erin McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914817304686495934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1155943219746327632006-08-18T19:20:00.000-04:002006-08-18T19:20:00.000-04:00I have certain authors that are auto buys, and I w...I have certain authors that are auto buys, and I will buy their books regardless of what the cover looks like. If it is someone I am not familiar with, then the cover definitely has to attract my attention before I would even pick the book up. I always pass on covers with babies because I usually don't care for that story line. But that's just me!<BR/><BR/>I love all your covers for the vampire series -- very eye-catching, and fitting for your stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1155938973858191912006-08-18T18:09:00.000-04:002006-08-18T18:09:00.000-04:00I am with Kelley, if it is an author I do not know...I am with Kelley, if it is an author I do not know I look at the cover.
