They're all good, but like that one. Can't wait to read it!!!

Just a note - Sketch 9 looks a bit like a cut and paste job at the top; not as professional looking as the others. :) I think number 8 let's you see the people better and brings them more into the focus of the cover.

I voted for sketch 11 first because I liked the sun setting over the mountains in the background and it gave an ominous presence. Then I read the blurb and actually it fits the blurb well giving a hedonistic perspective to the 2 characters on the cover. You just know that something is brewing between the two of them, and then reading the blurb kind of confirms it. Well for me any ways... All the best.

Yeah, sketch 11 is the one! :)

I like sketch 11. The sun looks very attractive, but does not detract from the image of the 2 characters.

Sketch 8 - the sun rising out of the clouds over the mountain (suggests the new dawn, or hope, after they've conquered "an insidious evil dwelling in the high mountains ")

But Sketch 11 is also fabulous.

I really like sketch 11, the majestic mountains but with the magical feel, completely screams Verdantia to me!

Sketch 8. Love that shining light and it doesn't detract from the characters.

I liked 11# because it shows more of the pink moon

I voted for 11 because of the pink moon too. Can't wait until I can read it.

I voted for #11 also, I love the mountain picture as background and I really like the colors in that one. Very vibrant and attractive.

I like #8 the best. #11 is beautiful, but there is just a bit too much going on - it takes away from the two characters, in my opinion. I love the sun in #8. It's just enough.

11 is for real the best. DO IT.

I was having trouble between # 9 and # 11, but I went with #9 due to the mountains looking almost alien like and the mountains in # 11 look like the Rocky Mountains.

I voted for #9 - the purple background looks warm and sensual to me. But they're all great!

#8 is the only one with sunlight.

I like #8 the best.

I voted for #10 because the plainer background puts more emphasis on the faces of the characters. But they are all great.

They are all lovely, but I like #11 best :)

#8 The artwork has a more dimensional look with the sun in the background, whereas the others look too flat and the graphics too crammed together.

The sky treatment on sketch 8 looks colder than the others, and that makes the woman look hotter by contrast.

Thanks for the invite!!! Shared the poll on Facebook. I voted for 11, and I can't wait to read this one! (Although the hat makes me think of Eddie from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation...lol!) But it's a pretty cool cover nonetheless!

I definitely love #11 the best! Beautiful art!

I prefer #11. Beautiful covers

I voted for #8. Number 11 is at the top so far, but IMHO, it looks a little too crowded. Anyway, they all are nice!!

Thanks for the invite. My vote was for #8

They are all good but #11 is my favorite. Can't wait to read it!

I like #11 because it shows the mountains and the forests if you look close enough

At first glance i didn't see the difference until i looked closer. I liked #9 the best. I like how the mountains appeared behind them.

love it and can't wait - getting ready to post my review of book 3 on amazon - so excited for book 4 - majorly in love with this series

In 11 the closer mountains give a more immediate feel to it.

Yea the mountains on 11 are more striking. If you could blur the guy a little more would be good too because there's too much to look at..I like the focus on the girl, if that could be more pronounced it'd be perfect!

I'm struggling with #8 & #11 ~ Looking at them everyday helps me determine which one I could live with forever!! LOL

I like #8 & #11, but would probably lean more towards #11. They are beautiful!!

I like the touch of sun and hint of mountains in 8. I live in California and 11 just looked too much like the mountains we have here to be mysterious or alien.

I know what you mean. I've changed my mind at least 3x's today. :)

Sketch 8 for me! Not only it continues with the color gamma of Hers to Command artwork, I found the blue-red background tone of sketch 11 a bit too bold and pulling my focus away form the dramatic faces at the front.

I see the majority voted the #11, like me, so I think there are no doubts about best choice :-) My best luck for your book sales :-)

I like #11 because there's more of a mystical feel to it. Best of luck with your next installment!

I truly like #8...#11 looks a bit too busy and crowded. Just my opinion, of course :) Thanks for including us!

I like #8 best - the single star at top left brings things into balance without being overwhelming.
In contrast, #11 with the sphere at top center being more colorful draws attention away from the woman's face and I find that detrimental. That sphere would be great if it were the central important figure, but it's not, so it's coloring makes it break the cover up.
IMHO :)

Patricia - Isn't it great having a good friend like Travis. As for the cover - my personal favorite if #11. Wishing you much success... I am sure it will be a great book. Truly, Jeannie Walker

Personally I like the #8 because the background doesn't take away from the people up front.

However, I read people talking about a pink moon. If the round thing between them two is a quarter of a moon, I don't get why we can see through it. Is it a crystal moon? (A see through globe of some kind?)
Just wondering...

Hi Jeannie,

Yes, Travis is one in a million -- a true gentleman and generous to a fault. I am very lucky to call him a friend.

Hi G.G.! LOL I agree with you and have asked Skylar to make the moons more opaque so you will not be able to see through them.

Thanks for your vote and the lovely comments, Susan. I hope to never disappoint and I trust you will tell me if I do.

Hi Lauren!

Eddie? Oh, no! Well that bursts the hunky handsome bubble. LOL Okay...have control of my laughter now. The furry guy fits with the storyline. But, unfortunate about the Eddy flashbacks! I hope you can put the image out of your mind if you decide to read the story.

LOL! Thanks for being a good sport about that. Sometimes my brain-to-mouth filter doesn't work correctly and I say stupid things.

Of course I will be reading this! I purchased your books out of order (I have either #2 or 3), but I will be purchasing #1 soon and getting started on this series!

I voted for sketch 8. Similar to other comments in favour of #8, when looking at it I focused on the characters rather than the background. I found the other three were just a little too busy. When looking at sketch 8, it was nice to find my eyes relax-a good cover for contemplation and dreaming.

They're all pretty cool. I missed the vote but will say that I like the one that won and can't wait for the book to come out. :D
