Elisa, this contest has given me a whole new appreciation for cover art. Bravo to the unsung heroes who play such an important part of capturing reader's interest.

Congratulations to the winners - and very worthy ones they are, too! And congrats to Elisa as well, for coming through this with flying colours AND for setting it up in the first place.

A brilliant cover goes a long way to selling a book to a browsing potential reader and all of these have that kind of impact.

I had thought that A Brush of Wings would win coz it always seememd to have so many votes. Looking back now, the one cover that stood out above all the others for its simplicity of deign but strong image is Can't Help the Way I Feel. Lovely photography and that woman was beautiful.
