Wooohoooo. Spent yesterday with my good friend and Graphics Goddess, Nicki Forde, and this is what we came up with for Harbinger, Book 3 in the Wake-Robin Ridge series. What do you think? (We have time for changes, should there be any issues, but hopefully, this is a winner.)

Oh yes, love it!
Obviously part of the series, yet with so much spooky promise – great job!

Yay! Thank you, Debby! I love those ghostly trees. (Hubby isn’t sure about them, but this book has a spookier edge, in many ways and those woods figure into the story in a big way.) Thanks for your kind words! I’m pretty happy right now. Still editing, though. SOOOOOON, My Precious! 😀

Looks good––and I love the red flower!

Thank you, Liz. The red flower is the wake-robin trillium, for which the ridge is named. It appears on all the books in the series. (Shown in the right side bar). So glad you like it. 🙂

Thanks, Thorne! I’m pretty pleased with it. If I change my mind on anything, we have time to tweak it some more, but I don’t think I will. 🙂

Thanks, CJ! So glad you like it, and I really appreciate your taking the time to let me know. I’m so lucky to have a friend who does this for a living. She’s made all of my covers. And I have a photographer friend who took the pictures for the Finding Hunter cover, before Nicki worked on it. So I’m twice blessed with talented cover people. On this one, I did the Black Dog, myself, but it’s just a silhouette, so not a big deal. One day, I might do some art a bit more detailed, if I ever have enough time.

Love it! The cover emits spooky mystery, The font is great, very concise. 🙂

Thank you, Debby. It’s the same font we used on Wake-Robin Ridge, and A Boy Named Rabbit. Nicki was really disappointed there was no capital R this time. (If you look at the other 2 covers, you’ll see what I mean.) I told her I could always rename it Rarbinger. *snort*

Lol Marcia. Well I don’t think I’d change the title because of that. Everything else is symmetrical to the series. 🙂

I like it… a lot!! Red eyes on the wolf adds a real spooky edge, along with the trees.

Thanks, Kass! Glad you like it. It’s really my version of Ol’ Shuck, or the Celtic legend of the Black Dog, which is a Harbinger of death. If you see him, someone you know is gonna die . . . possibly, YOU. So you really don’t want to find him on your doorstep one morning. 😀 Just a bit of Appalachian folk lore, brought over a couple hundred years ago, and given a mountain twist over time.

Nice! Goes well with the other book covers in the series. 🙂

Thanks, Linda. We decided from the start that each series would have its own particular look, and the wake-robin flower against the black hills would be the basis for each book in this one. Once we added a silhouette for Rabbit, I knew we’d be doing a different one of those for each new story, as well. And since the title “Harbinger” refers to the Black Dog legend, well, it was a no-brainer that he had to appear somewhere on this one. 🙂 Glad you like it.

What a stunning cover! Especially with that splash of red from the flower. Wow!

So glad you like it, Barb. “Stunning” is good. “Wow” is even better. 😀 That red flower is the wake-robin of the series title (and the name of the fictitious mountain ridge where the stories take place). It’s on each book in this series, and I do love it. I chose it to name my first book because it’s one of my very favorite spring wildflowers in the mountains. It’s a trillium, and though most are white, the wake-robin is a lovely wine-red, and so beautiful.

Eery and I agree. It fits in very well with the rest of the books in the series

It’s an eerie kinda story, what with the Black Dog being the harbinger of death, and all. 🙂 So I love that we have an eerie cover for it, while still making it an obvious part of the wake-robin series. Thanks, Olga! Have a great weekend.
