I actually think that seeing the cover for the first time is the most exciting part of the publishing process and I've been delighted with all of them.
Every single one.
In fact, I'm still trying to decide which one is my favourite... maybe this one (but then I say that every time a new book comes out).
I'm really lucky because I've had the same cover designer for each of my novels. She uses a different colour combo for each and makes sure the 'motif' is strong: a pair of children's shoes, a pink hair band, black and white flowers and now a set of rings. Each giving a hint of what is to come in the book.
She also always uses the same font for the title and author name. This is so that when readers see it, they will, hopefully, recognise it as part of the Wendy Clarke 'brand'. Branding was mentioned a lot when I first signed with my publisher, Bookouture, but it's only now I have four books that I can definitely see what they mean. Don't they look lovely together... not that I'm biased or anything!
His Hidden Wife will be published by Bookouture on February 4th but you can pre-order it right now (only if you want to, of course!)
Congratulations, Wendy. Novel No 4! You've done such an amazing job!
