You know what they say. Third time’s a charm. Well, I’ve been going round and round with my book covers. Not that long ago, I redid the first two when I created the cover for Eden. And I really liked… maybe even loved… the new covers. But I worried that they didn’t look dystopian. I wanted a set of covers that would talk to potential readers about what they would find inside the books. I mulled it over for a while, and then I decided to just go for it.
The biggest problem I’d had was the lily. I wanted to keep the lily, and every time I went to design new covers, that was a stumbling block. So, finally, I axed it. No more lily.
The one thing that breaks my heart is the cover for Eden. I am very sad to see the old cover go. So maybe I will use the last set of covers for a special print edition or something. But that said, I’m sooooooo pleased with the new covers. So, yeah. Here they are:
I hope you like them as much as I do. I’ll be updating the rest of the blog and social media to go with the new look.
Meanwhile, I’m still working hard to get ready for the release of Eden and Jason and Lily. Look for teasers, excerpts, and all of that fun coming soon!

I do like these new covers! To be honest, I was never a big fan of the old ones. These are striking and crystal clear.
Kate
Thanks, Jane! I finally feel like the covers are right for my books.

I love these. Personally I loved the original cover for E – but these look great – definitely very ‘dystopian’.
Kate
You know, I liked the symbolism of the first cover, but I think the feel of these ones is right.

These are very streamlined and simple, but very, very eye-catching!
Robin
Oh My Gosh!!!! I freaking adore these covers. Will these editions be available in physical copy format?
Kate
Yes, eventually. I’m always a little behind on print formatting, but I’m hoping to get to it shortly. Glad you like them. I’ll post about it when they do go up in print. 🙂
