Favorite Cover--Here Today Zombie Tomorrow by Connie Vines

Michelle Lee's covers are all so good that it was a hard task to pick just one favorite. But this one stands out for me and in my opinion contains every element required to sell a book.

The cover expresses the storyline perfectly—it’ s sassy, fun and you just know this is going to be a crazy ride. Meredith is certainly not what I would expect a zombie to look like. Zombie stories are not usually my choice of read but this cover urges me to give it a try.

I was born in London but moved to Australia with my husband many moons ago. I always had the urge to write full time but wasn't able to fulfill this dream until I retired early from the fashion industry. Most of my contemporary romances are set in Victoria where I live or Tasmania my second favourite state. I have always loved to read Time Travels so it was obvious that I would like to write them. I love the research entailed in writing them and also historicals. All my books are with publisher Books We Love, and I am proud to boast that I was no 1 on the BWL best sellers list 2015/2016 and in the top 10 best selling authors in 2017. My greatest achievement was winning the Australian Romance Writers Book of the Year award with my Traces of Dreams that is now re-titled Remnants of Dreams. I am a fervent animal lover and support various charities that do their best to help animals in need around the world. I also volunteer for a local community group helping disabled people with their computers.

Michelle’s Covers

Ten Past Midnight by Jane Toombs

I like this cover very much. First, because it fits the material perfectly. I love the simplicity of the cover too, and the muted shades of grey and black, the gothic-type font. The book itself contains six stories and three poems on the dark side of paranormal. As it states in the writeup: ‘Everything from ghouls to the heart-eating Egyptian beast who decides one's fate. Even the touches of romance are definitely different. But what traveler can expect the norm when on the wrong side of midnight? Ten past midnight All's not well. Every road leads right To hell...’

The cover is somewhat reminiscent of cover art of the thirties and forties, and even farther back. It makes you think of the stories of horror writer Edgar Allan Poe, and the likes and times of Jack the Ripper. It has that dark, sinister feel. Just looking at that cover sends a subtle chill to creep over your skin – in a frighteningly delicious way.

Read the book.

Favorite Covers by Michelle Lee

Jamie Hill's two cents:

BWL's Art Director has asked us to share our favorite cover and why. I had a horrible time narrowing it down to two. In fact, I could easily choose one favorite for each BWL author! But since we're supposed to choose one, I took the liberty of choosing two.

Heart Throb by Janet Lane Walters

Cover by Michelle Lee

http://amzn.com/B0057AGQ4W

Without reading the blurb, this cover gives you a good idea what this story is about. Romance, with a medical twist. I love the graphics Michelle has weaved through the text including the the heart between the words Heart and Throb. To me, this is a beautiful, sexy romance cover.

Jack Shadow by Graeme Smith

Cover by Michelle Lee

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00904HKQE/

This is a quirky mystery story and again, without reading a blurb you can tell that from this cover. I love the man, the rain, the font choices and of course the tagline. Now go read the blurb. It'll definitely make you want to read the book!

I could go on and on about my favorite BWL covers but there are simply too many to choose from. My own included! But don't take my word for it...check it out!
