I've always loved the color combination, the somewhat mysterious downcast look on the model's face, and the (over?)protective arm snaking around her shoulder. I also love that a poem that I wrote in high school is printed behind the title. If you'd told me in high school that someday one of my poems would not only be published in a book, but would be on the cover of one, I'd have never believed it!Jennifer Brownhttp://www.jenniferbrownya.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-80074732226585488962012-02-29T08:54:58.478-08:002012-02-29T08:54:58.478-08:00Thank you, Martha!

But, I'm sure she'll appreciate your comment. I do :) I agree with you that Jennifer's covers are eye-appealing. Though it should be the story itself that lures us to purchase the book, I'll admit that an intriguing cover also grabs my attention. These publishers certainly have clever marketing departments! BTW, I'm reading Jennifer's novel HATE LIST presently and it's a fascinating glimpse of the whys behind school shootings and teen angst.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-80700321890176372272012-02-27T09:12:40.153-08:002012-02-27T09:12:40.153-08:00Love your covers, Jennifer!
