Re: Prince Of Power
While the cover of a book is indeed important, it is usually the title that first
catches my eye. Probably because my idea of handsome is quite different
than what I see on most covers. Not that the men on the covers aren't
good looking, they are. However, there's good looking, then yummy, and
finally mouth watering. Few covers are mouth watering for me, so I must
read the blurb to see if I find the description enough.

The covers do draw me to a book in the first place. The picture and the colors will get your attention but I do read the back of the book and check out the author before I buy.
(Kathleen Yohanna 1:55am January 3, 2013)
I personally live it when authors provide a song list
for books. I'm a big music fan, so combining it with
books, which I also love, is awesome! I hour one
day there will actually book soundtrack albums
released! It could happen ;) Book trailers have
become big, maybe one day official soundtracks
will too! Until then, I'll just stick with the playlists,
and listen to them over and over again, as scenes
from the book play out in my mind. Great post!
(Heather Machel 5:56am January 3, 2013)
I certainly agree that the cover plays a large part in the sale of a book.
Blessings,

I think the cover definitely catches your eye or it can put you off.
(Maureen Emmons 7:26am January 3, 2013)
The cover certainly does help me in my buying decision - and I, too, love the music soundtrack as well - that SO reinforces the story!
(Felicia Ciaudelli 7:49am January 3, 2013)
I am another who looks at a cover to help me decide whether or not I want to buy.
(Jackie Preas 7:54am January 3, 2013)
Love the cover! If I did not know you were such an awesome
author, I would take a chance on this book based on the
cover and the title!! When I buy books, the cover is what
catches my eye. If the cover is too cartoony, I usually
won't give it a second glance. I know that's awful, but I
read romance, UF, PNR and erotica so it kinda weirds me out
to see a cartoon for a cover.
(Elizabeth Haney 8:33am January 3, 2013)
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out Prince of
Power everyone, I love hearing your thoughts about music and
book covers!
(Elisabeth Staab 8:41am January 3, 2013)
I also check out the cover if I'm not sure of the author but I love your books cover or not!
(Bonnie Capuano 8:54am January 3, 2013)
the cover is that often that 1st impression that determines if you want to get to "know" the book better or not
(d Kenney 9:42am January 3, 2013)
I rely on blogs and other recommendations. Covers are nice but they never
get me to buy. I'm also not able to listen to music while I read. I start
singing - yuck ;).
(Victoria Sloboda 9:50am January 3, 2013)
The cover is great. Romance in music is all Gershwin.
(Kathy Sullivan 10:08am January 3, 2013)
I have learned not to judge a book by its cover, i check blogs and such. But I will admit that if the cover is eye catching the more of a chance of me at least checking it out.
(Valeri Davila 10:30am January 3, 2013)
new year contest great
(Kent Cook 10:58am January 3, 2013)
The relationship between the cover and the story should
definitely work. When the main character has a notable
characteristic (i.e. hair, tattoo or eyes) that is shown
incorrectly, it can turn the reader off.
(Karin Anderson 11:00am January 3, 2013)
Ooooh... sounds like a great book! :)
(May Pau 11:12am January 3, 2013)
The cover art is eyecatching but I personally don't like tattoos, I just think it looks like the person needs to wash. But if your character had a tattoo I am sure the model didn't mind getting body paint on and washing it off.
(Clare O'Beara 11:24am January 3, 2013)
The cover does have to work. I've definitely passed over books
just because the cover didn't look professionally done.
(Rebecca Whitehead-Schwarz 11:33am January 3, 2013)
A book will catch my eye with its cover enough to draw my interest... I then read the blurb and decide if it is something that I would enjoy. Like that cover!!!
(Colleen Conklin 11:43am January 3, 2013)
I think a catchy title and an interesting cover will grab my attention. If the blurb sounds interesting then I am hooked!
(Allie Motherway 12:04pm January 3, 2013)
I don't know anything about cover art, other then it plays a big role in catching my attention. I first look for authors names I know. Then for new authors, I look at the cover. If the cover grabs my attention, I then read the blurb on the back.
There is some cover art that I would love to frame.

I LOVE your playlist! I think that I was able to feel the story through the music you listed, a journey, through sound and lyrics - I also love your covers ;)
(Carla Carlson 12:39pm January 3, 2013)
THE COVER AND THE STORY REALLY CATCHES MY EYE LOVE TO READ THE BOOK SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING.
(Shelly Caggiano 12:48pm January 3, 2013)
Really interesting and different points of view everyone,
thank you for checking out Prince of Power and for sharing
your insights!
(Elisabeth Staab 12:49pm January 3, 2013)
Yes, a great cover on a Book is very important but so is a
catchy Title for the book and like the old saying goes: You
cannot judge a Book by the cover because what is inside the
book and story can make it or break it too. Everything is
important in Life and in a great Book too and the story must
stay interesting to keep the attention of the readers and
then what is blessed by God will flow the right and correct
way. Thanks and Happy New Year everyone. God Bless You,
Cecilia CECE

(Linda Hall 3:02pm January 3, 2013)
Love author/book playlists!!! This romance feels like there have
been lots of challenges, but somehow love will find a way. ^_^
(Samantha King 3:59pm January 3, 2013)
nice pic on cover and now i wanna read it, thanks for this chance
(Debbi Shaw 5:34pm January 3, 2013)
The cover is hotttt...fell in love with the guy. :)
(Nahal Momin 5:49pm January 3, 2013)
Without a doubt, that is a yummy cover!
An appealing cover or cover candy as I like to call it helps to sell me a book but there are many factors that come into play. Storyline, sometimes one that I can relate to or other times one that help me to escape. It just depends on my mood of the moment.
I was mesmerized by Chip Kidd, he's like the sassy girlfriend every woman needs. He's a riot!
(Tracie Travis 6:09pm January 3, 2013)
You guys rock, thank you for your comments! Tracie, I'm glad
you loved Chip Kidd, isn't he hilarious!?
(Elisabeth Staab 6:35pm January 3, 2013)
A good cover is critical for me... That's the teaser that causes me to read the back of the book and the inside cover for more info on the story. It's the blurbs that are the final hook for me. If the blurbs don't catch me, I'm more than likely to pass on the book. If the photo doesn't catch me, I move on to other covers. Books without cover photos only drag me in if the author is already known and liked by me.
(Donna Holmberg 8:04pm January 3, 2013)
I love it when an author provides a playlist! I love reading
and I love music and there are times I hear a song and it
reminds me of a book or character and any time I hear that
song, I automatically relive the book or a certain scene!
Thanks for the playlist :)
(Jolene Allcock 8:16pm January 3, 2013)
covers give character to a book. Each author has their own style and artist who brings the book to life.
(Lisa Fitzgibbons 8:17pm January 3, 2013)
Definitely cover art catches my eye...I tend to like seeing the main character or some characteristics of the main character to give me an idea of what kind of character/story is involved. Example is Prince of Power has the dark, brooding male shirtless and with a tattoo that screams to me primal,warrior, fighter, alpha. Music playlist interpretation is harder but this one feels like there's intensity, drama, a bigger than you and me battle.
Thanks for sharing...this looks like a terrific read!
(p c 8:42pm January 3, 2013)
Music sets the mood and the background of the story. It brings the characters to life.
(Kai Wong 8:44pm January 3, 2013)
This series sounds amazing. Wow! I'm really looking forward to it.
(Chelsea Brooks 8:45pm January 3, 2013)
Music adds so much to movies, it would be wonderful to have
special background music for reading a book.
(Diane Sallans 9:05pm January 3, 2013)
Really enjoyed reading your blog. The cover of a book usually lets me know if I would even be interested, then look at the authors name and read the fly leaf. Never heard of a playlist for books.
(Sheila True 9:16pm January 3, 2013)
Sounds so good. Thanks for a chance to win it. Love the
cover, too.
(Mary Hay 9:19pm January 3, 2013)
I LOVE your taste in music!
(Renee Pajda 9:23pm January 3, 2013)
Thanks for sharing the playlist. I admit that I love music
and am curious about what authors listen to while they write.
(G. Bisbjerg 9:39pm January 3, 2013)
The title and cover of a book both catch my eye, but I use them more to tell me what type of book it is before I pick it up to read the cover blurb.
(Janie McGaugh 9:39pm January 3, 2013)
covers catch my eyes but i like the playlist also. thanks for the chance to win!!
love the cover!!!
(Jennifer Beck 10:31pm January 3, 2013)
Oh these sound great! The playlist has some of my favorites on it! Thanks for the chance.
(Martha Lawson 10:49pm January 3, 2013)
i would love to win a copy of your book...thanks
(Kimberly Hoefs 10:57pm January 3, 2013)
I usually choose a book based on the cover, I love artwork. I do read the back of the book to find out the content but the artwork has to grab my attention first. Your "prince of power" caught my attention very quickly. Thanks for the giveaway.
(Linda Fast 11:02pm January 3, 2013)
Book cover ..author...title. Difficult for me to work with music. By the
way, love the tat on the cover model, esp.since it's on his back /shoulder.
(Margaret Murray-Evans 11:22pm January 3, 2013)
The cover grabs my attention but the blurb or summary has more
influence if I buy it or not.
(Jan D 11:39pm January 3, 2013)
I do fall for a cover first, but I really rely on reviews for book
recommendations.
(Ann Sheiring 12:26pm January 4, 2013)
I read the exerpts and have a very in the know friend who tells me about so many fabulous reads :)
(Darci Paice 12:33pm January 4, 2013)
great covers!
(May Pau 10:07am January 4, 2013)
I have to admit, I am a slave to covers. If the cover doesn't
interest me, I probably won't pick a book up at all. It really
can make or break a book.
(Deidre Durance 10:35am January 4, 2013)
would love to win & read1
heard great things about you
(Pamela Faye Howell 2:25pm January 4, 2013)
For a book that isn't of my genre, I believe you got yourself a new fan!! I am totally into this story, and can't wait to get my hands on this book, to find out how you make this story unfold. Thank you for having such a great imagination, and I hope you have a very Happy and Healthy New Year!!
(Peggy Roberson 9:17pm January 4, 2013)

(Nahal Momin 2:31pm January 5, 2013)
the cover of the book and the back of the book description is what gives me an idea if I want to buy it or not
