Giveaway Cover 8 Woman w/gun

Crime Cover W/Female


Well I wanted a crime cover this week and I found this one in the bottom of my flash drive. It's an early cover from when I first started. It isn't awful but I don't love it either.

What type of books would it work for?

Crime, suspense, maybe thriller. It's too strong for a stalking novel though. The woman is clearly comfortable with the gun. Maybe a female detective or a bodyguard?

The cover is a bit over processed. If I went back and did it again, I'd probably not light it so much. I'd also probably kill the lightening and put a different scene behind her. But hind sight is 20/20.

Too much going on but like I said, It isn't horrible. It's an okay cover. I think the woman, the gun---the dark background would attract attention.

If you can use it, it's yours. Do you need a woman with a gun? Come on, you know you do. :)

Same rules as every week.

Giveaway cover 7 Forgotten Girl TAKEN






THIS COVER HAS BEEN TAKEN BY A WRITER FOR A PROJECT.











Oh this is an old one from when I first got started doing covers. Not my best cover but it's okay. I like the yellow tones.

I like that its a girl walking way.

Types of Novels: Break-up novels, tragedy, coming of age, woman/daughter leaving, family drama.

I think any woman drama for a younger audience would be okay. The girl is late teens to 20ish so it'd have to involve someone that age. But hey if you want to use it for a book on pink dolphins I won't say no. I'll look at you strangely but I won't say anything.

What do you think? Should this one just be deleted or could someone use this one?

It's a little DIY. LOL.

The author decided they wanted something a bit sexier. So it ended up being cleavage and boy/girl kiss. :)

Sex does sell, now doesn't it?

Giveaway Cover 6 Many Faces Woman



















Ah the Woman of Ice and Snow. It just never quite gelled but I do like her eyes if nothing else.

I also have this girl as a animal shapeshifter with animal marks and yellow/gold eyes...that one I think I like a bit better.


What kind of novel? Fantasy, odd memoir, novel involving a girl in snow/ice.




Yellow Girl Version

















You can have either. The second one might work for a Women's Fiction, Chick Lit or even a fantasy novel.



Blue Avatar Version















And I have a couple other versions of the same girl.


Same rules apply.

No major changes.

Email me to get it
Project must be going on in the next six months.

Giveaway cover 5 Woman in Turmoil/fantasy



















I have always loved this one. It's dark and you can feel the pain of the woman on the cover. I wish I had written something it would have worked for but alas I have not.

The writer went with a more colorful cover...blood/fire and all that.

But still this cover does have energy, don't you think?

What type of novel?

Always thought it'd work well on urban fantasy or maybe even a disturbed chick lit. Not romance though...even I can't stretch my disbelief that far. A book with a woman in turmoil or a woman perhaps being overpowered by magic or circumstance?

So are you feeling moody?

If so, this cover might work.

The rules and restrictions: First of all, your book must be publishing in the next six months. You must email me with a request. I will only add title/author name...nothing else.

Giveaway Cover 4 Letter Girl-(No Longer Available)











TAKEN!!--This giveaway cover has been accepted by a writer and is no longer available.






This cover has a letter/envelope torn open in the background with a pretty but sad African American girl/woman on the front.

It's subtle but I think it works almost as well as some of the bolder covers.

What type of Novel could it be used for?

Chick Lit, women's fiction, tragic romance or one of those sad, lost my man, hope to find myself novels. Is that also women's fiction? Sometimes I suppose.


Giveaway Rules: Must use the cover within six months. Must email me and let me know if you want the cover. The cover will be provided in 300DPI 6x9 JPEG. If you want to see all the other rejected covers, click the world 'rejects' under labels on the left of my blog.

Giveaway Cover 3---Girl in Flames





















To be honest, I have about 15 versions of this cover, some with clear red/yellow flames. Some with multiple girls.

But I like this one with the box imprint. If you'd prefer the flames only with no box imprint, that's available.

It was rejected because the girl was too young looking for the cover.

For what type of book: I'm thinking any type of YA book with a fire them set in modern age. What do you think?


If you want to see other giveaway covers, click the rejects link under the labels on the left side of the screen.

EMAIL me to get the 300 DPI JPEG for use.

BUT the project must be one being produced in the next six months.


So do you want flame girl for your very own?

Another lovely rejected cover.

Did you ever want to kill a gnome? How about a Leprechaun? This cover is a dead Leprechaun bleeding out underwater.

What kind of novel could you use it for?
A cozy mystery with a sense of humor, a modern urban fantasy novel and perhaps even a humor novel that doesn't mind a dead garden gnome.

How do you get this cover for your book? You email me at my email address listed on the right under my description. Your book must be publishing either in electronic or print format within the six months.

So do you need a dead gnome?

Tunnel of Gold cover-Reject 1 Available


















I'm trying something new with my rejected cover giveaways this year. Instead of posting them all at once and letting you guys go through them like pigs at a trough, I'm posting one at a time and talking about it a bit.

And I admit it, I like this cover. I like the play of light. I like the lone tree at the end.

I like that it's a bit mysterious but not scary.

But it wasn't right for the author.

What story would it work for? The cover has a bit of mystery and with a little tweaking could be a fantasy or murder/mystery cover. If I switched out the tree for something else, you could also do it as a coming of age or finding yourself book cover.

How do you get it for free for your book?
So this rejected cover is available to some writer out there. :) If you want it, you have to let me know by email so I can put your author name/title on it. My email is on my description on the right.

Restrictions: It has to be a project you are publishing (electronically or print) in the next 6 months. For print projects, please let me know so I can flatten the image for you so it prints pretty. :)

So is the tunnel cover right for you?
:)

Oh just FYI--all covers are provided in 300 DPI 6x9 size.
