Okay, this is really random. I should be working on book 2, but I got on a “cover thing” yesterday. Now, remember, Kregel will probably not use exactly what I send them, but I want to send them something SO FUN that they might say, “Hey, we can’t get better than this.” LOL
With that in mind, after hours of tweaking and messing around, I came up with these two concepts. They are actually the same image, but one is CLOSE UP and one is a little ZOOMED out in order to see more of the setting. Which do you prefer? Vote in the comments: #1 CLOSE UP and #2 ZOOMED out. And of course add WHY you like the one you do. Then I’ll know which one to send Kregel as a “cover concept.”
If you are on a laptop or tablet, you might be able to see them side-by-side. On a phone, not so much. Let me know! It’s so fun to share with you guys!
#1 Close up

#2 Zoomed out a bit


I really like the #2! I can’t wait to read the books
The second one!!!!♥️♥️
I like #2: Zoomed out because it shows more logs and makes it easier to picture them doing what they’re doing. 🙂 I also like the bigger mountain.
Oh. I just saw that the mountains are two different sizes. LOL Actually, the more accurate is the one with the mountain farther away. But hey. Does it matter than much?
Totally agree, Emmy!!
I like the zoomed out one. The logs in the foreground of the close up one seem a bit distracting.
I think 2# is better because it’s more like a book cover and not so much a painting.
Hi, my name is Parker Allison. I am a huge fan of your books! I can’t wait to read the Timberland Trails! I am writing a book series right now that got inspired from yours! My favorite cover is number #2 I agree with Emmy, Lydia, and Anonymous.
I like #2 better.
They are both great and create interest. In # 1, the young man’s head and arm are a bit lost in the color of the building’s pilings. Not a deal breaker for me. But I like seeing their expressions up close and personal. I agree with Lydia; #2 looks more like a book cover.
#1!
Even though most people seem to like number 2, I like number one because it’s more focused on the characters.
I like it zoomed out! Let’s you see more surroundings!
I like number two zoomed out!! It’s gives more details of the surroundings but still keeps the characters as the main subject.
I like the 2# zoomed out.
I like number 2. The mountain in the background is really pretty.
C
zoomed out!!
I loke both i peronaly dont think it matters all two much but, I think im the odd one out I really like 1
I love #2!! the zoomed out one. it looks cleaner.
I agree; the second one looks cleaner. Also, the characters aren’t as “in your face” and fuzzy like they are in the first one. #2ZOOMED
Definitely 2!!!
I love them both!! But I think number two has got to be my favorite!
I like the second one better because it’s easier to picture the surroundings. Although they are both totally great!
I’m really excited to read them!!

Zoomed out – Maren C.
I like #2 best because I like there being a little more detail to the cover.
I like #2 (zoomed out) better because the mountain seems to stand out more than in #1. Both look great, though!
I like #2 the zoomed out one best
I honestly like #2 best
number #2 is my favorite!!!!!!!
I like #2, the zoomed out cover the best!
I’m so excited for these! They definitely look like they’ll be interesting books! I love Jenny’s personality too!
2!! 🙂
