I love a good, intriguing cover that makes my pulse quicken, that makes my clicking finger twitch for the buy button. Paranormal covers are some of the most beautiful I've seen. They're often vibrant and have that ethereal quality I find so mesmerizing.
Here are some of the covers I've seen around the internet. All are from books by indie authors. Do you see your favorite?
Covers are, arguably, what entice readers to actually stop and check whether or not the book is something they'd like to read. Nothing says, "Run far, far away" like a hastily put-together cover in Paint, with some flat font thrown in.
Do you see the difference between the cover for a fantasy novel like Talon of the Unnamed Goddess and a paranormal romance like Sterling? Covers can be a shortcut way to tell your readers what they can expect from a novel. And as readers, we can infer the author's message (hopefully) in a glance.
Shauna Granger's Elemental Series covers are simply breathtaking. Another of my favorites is author H.M. Ward.
I love staring at covers, trying to figure out what the author was trying to convey.
A good cover can also be helpful when Hollywood comes knocking, as they did for author Lisa Grace.
I'm sure you'll agree these are rather breathtaking! There are so, so many more I'd love to list, but there's only so much scrolling a finger can take.
What do you think? Which one's your favorite?

I can't vote because I'm in it, but I gotta say this is a HOT batch of covers! I've never seen my cover (Zan) on a black background and it's neat how it blends into the page. Thanks for featuring all of us authors!
