Cover!

This is the new cover for Dead and Kicking. It goes on sale December 1st and it'll be the third book in the Ghost Dusters series.

As you can see, it is a TOTALLY different look than the other two covers. My editor thinks the new look will drive up sales. I love the colors.

What's your opinion? Does the cover speak to you? I want it to shout: PICK ME UP! BUY ME! READ ME!

Cute concept. It's a little startling following the designs on the first two books, but I'll get used to it. I hope it draws a lot of new readers in for you.

I love it. It's fun and realistic (in a cartoony way). I liked the first two covers, but this one really draws the eye.

B.E. I was startled too but it's growing on me :)

Zita,I'm glad you think it "draws the eye"! That's what we're going for.

Wendy Roberts said...

Dru, glad to hear you like it :)

Pinkcypress, I can't wait until it comes out either. December 1st feels like ages away but I know it'll be here fast!

My other half said: 'it looks a bit Scooby Doo'! My opinion? I'm still freaked out by seeing 'my' name on the cover of a book!

Love the cover. It is cute and seems to fit the story too. It always annoys me when a cover seems not to reflect the story. Seems like fraud almost. This one is adorable and fits the story arch. I once bought a book that looked like an urban fantasy (the back blurb was a cover shot of the author) and it ended up being some weird mix between espionage and cozy mystery. Weird. Anywhoo tangent aside I'm now bursting at the seams for the book.

Wend, I'm freaked about YOUR name being on the cover too LOL! ;)

Athena, I know what you mean. It's frustrating to pick up a book expecting one thing and getting another. Hope you enjoy mine when it hits shelves :)

The only thing I would change is the cat should be a bunny like "Hairy"
