Help pick the cover of Winter Queen

*both options have been removed. Thanks for your input!
Option 1

Option 2

Vote below. Keep in mind that these are mock ups, meaning they are only meant to convey basic mood and positioning. In other words, it's a draft! We're looking at body positioning, colors, concept. Don't worry about the faces. Keep in mind that option 2 is more polished than 1. That's it. I will be taking this down in a few hours.

Hardcover, paperback, or both?

I've come to the point where I need to make a decision  I plan on doing paperback either way, but should I throw a hardcover into the mix? **It'll be more money for readers to buy, so I'll have to price it as less. Meaning I probably won't make as much on the hardcovers as I do the paperbacks. Plus, it costs more money to produce them. Another ISBN, another cover layout, upload fees . . .

But there's something to be said for having your book in hardcover. 

I'd probably release them pretty close to around the same time, so people could choose which version they'd like to have.

So, dear fans, do you want a hardcover version for Winter Queen? Would you shell out the money for one? Or should I just stick with paperbacks?

*I just price it all out. I'd have to sell the book for $26 to make a profit. Yikes. That's a lot.

**If I lower my retailer discount, I can lower the price to 19.99. What do you guys think? 

I want an enchanted pig!

Bridget's Zinn's Poison has all the right ingredients to make your heart ache for more. 

In the beginning, I had a hard time connecting. Great hook. Strong action from the get go, but what kind of story focuses on a main character who killed her best friend and princess? It doesn't take long before we realize that only Kyra knows that the princess has to die or the kingdom does. Murdering the princess will surely cost Kyra her life, but what choice does she have? 

And then the girl who never misses, missed. Now she has to hide from the king's army, her ex-boyfriend and fellow potioner, witches, and criminals. All while plotting the death of her best friend. 

Did I mention that there's romance? Cause there is, and I loved it. Poison had the light, sweet kind of romance that tugs a sigh from somewhere deep inside you. 

I finished the book and tried to find more of Bridget's books so I could immediately buy them. There are none. Bridget died last year. I had to work really hard not to cry. Bridget was a talented new writer with a long and beautiful career before her. I want to hug her. I'll settle for hugging her book and sending my love upwards instead. 

Also, there's an enchanted pig, which I was admittedly leery about. But the level of cuteness for this pig was off the charts. Also, it was kinda badass. I have no idea how a pig manages all of that, but this one did. Now I want one of my own. 

A must read!

Indonesian Cover

Atria published the Indonesian version of Witch Song. They used the same artwork, but changed the font. Looks like they also lightened the background. It turned out very pretty. Apparently, it went up for sale in August (no one tells me anything, lol). I wonder how it's selling . . . 

 I hope I get a copy in the mail (that was part of the contract). I'd love to see it in person! 

So, what do you guys think?
