The results of the cover updating poll were close. Even though the poll leaned more towards keeping the original covers (which makes me happy that so many people loved them!), people emailed and left blog comments who couldn’t vote through the poll that they wanted to see it updated. So I started working on the free ebook redesign I won from the amazing Sylvia Frost and here it is:
(Drum roll please…)
Old cover (I do still love you):
New cover:
Ta Da!
Of course, I couldn’t stop from doing the whole series after seeing this one. I love how it still gives me the same feeling the original did, but it just adds a little more pizzazz. Sylvia went straight to work redesigning the rest of the series (no, I’m not going to show you Infinite Faith yet, but it’s sooo pretty!) However, I will show you Infinite Devotion:
(Cue the fireworks..)
Old Cover:
New Cover:
And here is Infinite Loss:
(Light the cannons…)
Old Cover:
New Cover:
Sylvia gave me three different mock ups to decide between and one of them appealed so much to me that we decided to put it on the back cover of the paperback version. I loved how they gave the ghostly impression of her past lives.
Well, please let me know what you think! Do you love them or are you still attached to the old ones?
(PS-I haven’t changed them all over on my distributors yet so if you love the old ones you can go by a print copy of them still.)
Maybe one day I’ll make a special edition of the original covers, but all I want to do right now is stare at these beauties! I can’t wait to hold them all in paperback form!
And to anyone who is looking for an extremely professional (and patient) cover artist, I highly recommend S. Frost Cover Design.
I better get back to writing Infinite Faith now…
I think these are great reworks, Lauren. They are mysterious and I truly love the symbolism in them.
yes! love the redesign! colors are vibrant and compelling! good job!
Ooh so you did do the new covers! They are lovely! I agree with you that they do have more pizazz, as cool as the originals were, the newer designs are more eye catching. You must’ve had so much fun with this!
Happy writing. 🙂
Hi Lauren! The new covers are AMAZING (although I also liked the old ones). I may have to go buy all new copies now. 🙂 Also, hi! I’m still alive and writing, and I’m glad you are too. 🙂
Thanks so much, Bethany, and it’s so great hearing from you. I think about you all the time and I’m so happy to hear that you’re still writing! I hope you are enjoying school and when you get out and need a beta reader I’m still available 🙂
Awesome covers that’s so exciting! Best of luck with your writing career!
Hello Lauren,
Just checking in to see how you and the family are as well as checking the status of the Infinite Faith book, which I can’t wait to get my greedy paws on lol. I am thinking a week down in AC with time to read slowly and savor each life is in order for when it comes out.
I was reading another post of yours with the new shore house and have to say you have one of the houses I have dreamt of as a child, the other being a cottage with white picket fence and flowers scattered all over on a bluff overlooking the ocean. As you can see I have a thing for the ocean. I live in NJ and have a timeshare in Atlantic City and go “to the shore” as often as I can.
So far, I have read your books three times and have just started once again. Your stories and words touch and soothe my soul like a calming balm. All the things my son Christopher and I talked about and believed in are right there in all your stories. We to thought that we are here for a reason and we surround ourselves with the same people as we traverse these lives and try to learn the lessons we came here for. Not only do I get to enjoy your stories but I feel closer to Christopher when I read them. You are my go to author when I need a reminder of why we are here and why.
Best wishes for the house
Maureen
