I agree with "less is more." I'm drawn to simple, non-cluttered covers.

I...Hannah, it's so nice to hear from you again. I love the beauty of book covers and I agree: less is more. And huge thanks for using my Peace in the Valley cover here... I love the job that Waterbrook did with the covers on that series, making the heroes the focal points. And then they did a 100% marketing about-face when the books weren't selling like they should, they brainstormed one night and decided to put the books out again, a re-release, in mass market paperback format and stocked them in the places where my Love Inspired books were sold. That was a game-changer. Great covers, narrowly focused on the heart of the matter, and showing in the right place.<br /><br />You have such a good take on all of this, Hannah. Thank you!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.com
