YES! More new covers! A few weeks ago I revealed new covers for the Trouble Series, and now it’s Creepy Hollow’s turn. You may be wondering why, since these books got new covers about a year ago, they’re getting NEW new covers so soon. The main reason is this: the other covers utilised stock images. Which meant that those same images showed up on other book covers. In fact, for a while there was a book in the Amazon “Also Bought” section of The Faerie Guardian that had the exact same image on the front! Cringe …
So I decided my Creepy Hollow babies deserved some custom photography. I contacted Regina Wamba of Mae I Design (if you haven’t come across her work, she’s a fabulous photographer AND cover designer), gave her a whole lot of instructions, picked a model I thought could pull off Violet’s look, and voila! Regina did her magic! I can’t tell you how excited I was when she sent the proofs from that photo shoot. I spent AGES combing through them to pick just three for these covers!
Now, just in case you haven’t scrolled down yet (which I’m sure you have by this point), here they are in all their gorgeousness 🙂
I LOVE THEM!!! Especially the last one. It perfectly depicts Violet in all her kick-assery (which is totally a word, by the way)! And the first one too … so beautifully, purpley magical. And the second one is so perfect for the Seelie Court. (You see, I can’t have favorites between my book babies 😉 )
Rachel, those are awesome! Great model for the cover.
Thanks, Alex!
Absolutely love the new covers, Rachel! 😀
Thanks so much, Cherie!
Gorgeous covers!
Thank you, Clare!
WOW they all look amazing!!! Please tell me you updated the paperbacks with these new covers too. If you have, I’m totally buying them again just to have these pretties on my shelf!
Hey, Eliza 🙂 YES, paperbacks with updated content plus the new covers will be available in a couple of weeks once the new formatting is done and I’ve got new ISBNs.
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Fantastic work!
Thanks, Shelba! I signed up for Elegant Themes and adapted one of their themes for this website 🙂
Oh my goodness, I didn’t even know you could get custom stock photo images made! These cover really look SO much better because of it. Very professionally done. This is something I’d love to do for my own books, assuming I’ll actually publish my own, lol.
Sorry this comment is so late–I can’t seem to get your blog into my blog-feed! I need to find a way to see your new blog posts when the come in.
Thank you, Cathy! After trying several feed URLs, this is the one I eventually got to work on Goodreads (since I link my blog there): https://rachel-morgan.com/blog/wp-rss.php Perhaps you could get that to work for you somehow?
Yeah, that does work. Thanks! 😉
Great! 🙂
Rachel, who is that model? She is soo perfect for Violet
Hi Arfa 😀 The model for Violet is Monica Danus. I’m glad to hear you think she’s perfect for Violet 😀
Rachel, your books should be made into movies and i’m sure they’ll be blockbusters one day. And ONLY Monica Danus should be cast in the movies to play the role of Violet Fairdale.
Good luck…
