Because You Are Mine and When I'm With You were the first two.

Lea: This is the third serial you've written. It was tricky, because it's hard to get legible handwriting on an e-book cover like that, and say something meaningful and cogent without taking up too much space and ruining the balance of the cover.Īs for the images, they're a feast for the senses, aren't they? Berkley did an outstanding job. My editor and I worked to get a little statement that was both provocative and suggestive of the content of that episode. The handwritten notes aren't meant to be the titles of each part. I think these covers offer that tone, and it really draws in a reader.

The Affair itself is a very intimate story, tender and sexy. I loved it because of the personal quality of it in association with the image, and of course, it's so romantic - a handwritten message in the digital age. It struck everyone - including me - as a great stepping-off point for the serial covers. Someone at Berkley had seen a lovely advertisement for an engagement ring with an opened ring box and a handwritten note. Berkley's art department designed the book covers, but did you share information as to the context of each part of the book to facilitate the creation of the covers?īeth: Thank you. The title note on the little gift card is so creative. Lea: The covers of The Affair serial are beautiful and sexy, certainly effective in piquing a reader's curiosity. It's always a pleasure to visit with you. : )īeth: Thanks to you and HEA for having me. Lea: Welcome to HEA, Beth! It's wonderful to chat with you again.
