Hey everybody,

Following Terry's lead, and kind suggestion, I have posted the cover of Fire Bell in the Night.  I really like it, and hope you do too.  The art department actually designed the image of the mansion based on my description in the novel.  Pretty cool, huh?  Anyway, thanks for looking!

 

All the best,

Jeff

The mansion looks fabulous, but I'm really liking the placement of your name.

Congratulations, Jeff!

You're welcome! I want to buy the book!!!

Jeff,
This looks awesome! I love the historic look, the fonts, the way it's divided into three parts. I can't wait to read the rest of the book!
Kathryn E. Aug 8, 2007, 11:54pm EDT
This is an exceptionally beautiful cover, Geoffrey. It will sell based on looks alone. Never underestimate the power of a cover to sell.
Lacey K. Aug 8, 2007, 11:57pm EDT
It's a wonderful cover! I want to read it!

It's beautiful! It really suits the book, and gives it a very classy appearance. It will look even better in the hands of all your readers as they line up at your book signings!

Jeff, this is great! Colors, fonts, photo all wonderful. And, oh yeah--your name on the cover and your words inside!!!

Cool cover! I like the color and tones. It has a certain weight and measure of importance. Congrats.

Excellent, Jeff! Can't wait to read it!

Wonderful cover. Like Chandra I cant wait to read it.
Pat S. Aug 9, 2007, 10:32am EDT
I love the multi-toned sections, and the wonderful antique look of the colors. Very well suited to the time period of the book. And your name is ABOVE the title!!! This is a cover that matches the 'weight' and topic of the book very well. They're did you right with this cover!
Amy B. Aug 9, 2007, 10:40am EDT
It must be so exciting for you to see the cover and watching your novel near publication. When will it be out so we can buy it and finish reading it?
Geoffrey E. Aug 9, 2007, 10:44am EDT
Thanks everyone! It feels great to hear such a good response!

Amy,
It's due out September 18! You better be done reading it by the next weekend ;)
Amy B. Aug 9, 2007, 11:45am EDT
LOL - I've added it to my Palm Pilot as a "to do" item, so I'll try and buy it later that week. Can't guarantee I'll have it read within a few days though.
Arlene H. Aug 9, 2007, 12:58pm EDT
Very cool. I have to go back & look at Terry's again.
Tom d. Aug 9, 2007, 1:24pm EDT
A great cover Jeff. Congratulations to you again and I like the way you and Terry have stayed connected. You both seem like nice people as well as talented writers.

I have to agree with Judi F - the placement of your name with the color scheme is truly outstanding.
Geeta M. Aug 9, 2007, 2:27pm EDT
Love it!
Ian M. Aug 9, 2007, 4:42pm EDT
We'll be reading it before we know it.
James R. Aug 9, 2007, 9:22pm EDT
Jeff, congratulations. This is a very suitable cover which has the gravitas to match the subject matter. I certainly hope this flies off the shelves. I also like the plug for our First Chapters competition. Keep us posted on the promotional plans.
Catherine B. Aug 14, 2007, 8:24pm EDT
Awesome cover, Jeff! Sorry I've been out of touch for so long. I just returned from vacation.

Hi Geoffrey, The cover looks really intriguing. I would have been interested in this book just by the cover page if I saw this in a book shop. I hope the book makes it to New Zealand.
Natalie Neal Whitefield Aug 16, 2007, 2:38pm EDT
Love the cover. Can hardly wait to read your book!
Ruthe M. Aug 16, 2007, 2:46pm EDT
Awesomely done. I can't wait to read it!
Jennifer Oliver Aug 20, 2007, 8:15pm EDT
Cool cover, Jeff, absolutely awesome! And congratulations on your upcoming publication!
Sarah C. Aug 21, 2007, 11:33pm EDT
Great cover! Congratulations!
Kathryn E. Sep 4, 2007, 4:24pm EDT
Really cool cover, Geoffrey
Amanda C. Sep 5, 2007, 12:31pm EDT
Great Cover!!
J.C. Alexander Sep 6, 2007, 1:01am EDT
I'm with Luna. The cover would have grabbed my attention even if I didn't know about you or the contest.
William Dotani Sep 8, 2007, 1:15am EDT
This is a nice cover. I may or may not read your book. Time is my main concern. My first priority is to reciprocate to those making comments on my articles. At the moment I have 56 people that I will visit and comment on their articles.
P.W. Dowdy Sep 11, 2007, 2:58pm EDT
Most fitting. Move over, Tara!
Otelia S. Sep 19, 2007, 12:31pm EDT
Definitely a keeper of a cover

Not only is the cover great but the best part comes under it. You are a gifted talented author with just the right imagination to keep the readers so anxious that they cannot put the book down without reading just a few more pages. I am on my second read to capture what I missed on the first one. What are you currently writing or contemplating writing?
