Here are some more covers for you to continue the discussion of covers and to see what you can look forward to later in the year!
Abingdon Press are getting some good feedback on their covers ~ what do you think?
Medical Error by Richard Mabry MD
Dr. Anna McIntyre’s life was going along just fine until someone else started living it. Her patient died because of an identity mix-up, her medical career is in jeopardy because of forged prescriptions, and her credit is in ruins. She thought things couldn’t get worse, but that was before she opened the envelope and saw a positive HIV test with her name on it.
Her allies are two men who are also competing for her affection. Dr. Nick Valentine is a cynic who carries a load of guilt. Attorney Ross Donovan is a recovering alcoholic. The deeper Anna digs to discover who’s behind the identity thefts, the higher the stakes. Finally, when her life is on the line, Anna finds that her determination to clear her name might have been a prescription for trouble.

When The Devil Whistles by Rick Acker
“I didn’t have a choice. I didn’t.”
That’s what Allie Whitman tells herself every night as she lies awake. Sometimes she even believes it. But mostly she knows deep down that her inability to make a hard choice has put millions of lives at risk, including her own. Now the only one who can help her is her lawyer, Connor Norman. Unfortunately, Allie’s actions have destroyed Connor’s trust in her—and may destroy much, much more.

I Shall Not Want by Debbie Viguie
Charity work can be murder!
It’s Thanksgiving and Joseph Tyler, one of the members of Cindy’s church, has organized a new charity that provides homeless people with rescue dogs to love and care for. But one by one, the homeless recipients are being murdered and their dogs stolen. Could an overly competitive millionaire with his prize-winning pooches and a grudge be behind the crimes? Or could it be someone much closer to Joseph who has something sinister to hide? Cindy and Jeremiah must rush to find a killer before he strikes again.

A Time to Love by Barbara Cameron
War correspondent Jennie King thinks she’s just a temporary guest in her grandmother’s Amish community while she recuperates from the devastating injuries sustained in a car bomb attack that changed her world. But when she meets Matthew Bontrager, the man she had a crush on as a teenager, she wonders if God has a new plan for her.

Long Time Coming by Vanessa Miller
Faithful Christian Deidre Clark-Morris is a professional career-minded woman with a loving husband, but no children.
Kenisha Smalls has lived in poverty all her life. She has three children by three different men and has just been diagnosed with inoperable cervical cancer. While the meeting between these two women appears accidental, it becomes their catalyst of hope. Neither woman expects the blessing that God has in store for her.
While Deidre will guide Kenisha on the path to eternal life with Jesus Christ, Kenisha will teach Deidre how to stand strong against the hard-knocks of life.

When the Devil Whistles looks excellent!

When the Devil Whistles would be good without the hand over the mouth.
Long Time Coming is attractive.
Don't care for the covers of Medical Error or I Shall Not Want.
A Time to Love probably fits the story, but it's got too many images for my tastes.

I know I'm being silly but it really bothers me that the same exact image for "When The Devil Whistles" was used on a book from Kregel Publishers called "Unpretty" by Sharon Rogers. And I also recently saw the same image used on an online ad for something (totally unrelated to books). I'm starting to think it's way over-used!

Brenda – you aren't being silly. I noticed that as well and we had a brief chat on Twitter over the use of stock photos and it happens more often than one would expect!
Covers are all so subjective, just like most things 🙂
Thanks for your feedback, too, Amy and Nicole

You know it's 'A Time to Love' for my pick!

The first two have awesome covers and so very exciting.
But it's the last one that strikes me. A Long Time Coming sounds amazing.
