A special person I’ve gotten to know over the years through Book ‘Em is
Bonnie Watson. She’s the author of the
Blue Moon Trilogy (Books 1 and 2 are now available) and she’s an amazing artist. She designed the cover art for her books and also works as a freelance graphics designer. And she’s a musician! You can see her work at her website,
WISDOM NOVELS
Bonnie invited me to do a guest post on her blog about the creation of my characters in
The Circle of Friends and do I have a favorite? Her blog SCRIBBLES is located
HERE
Bonnie’s covers are beautiful. I’ve always preferred rich artwork on fiction books. Before you go visit Bonnie, take a look at these gorgeous covers:
I have the full, framed artwork of this one on my wall - just love this cover.
This is the cover of the book in my boxed set. Such a shame they changed them.
Book for the role playing game Call of Cthulhu.
Yes, I do like my own covers! This one is the most gorgeous...
I loved the covers of Richard Scarry's books when I was little. Simple but detailed and with so much going on.
I love Michael Whelan's covers...
And McCaffrey's books! This one featured a simple but lovely painting.
This one shows a real sense of characters in the little Fuzzies.

I hate covers with men or women's heads chopped. The illustrated covers you've here are lovely. I like the Caslight one best, mystery and dark.
The Spinster’s Vow
Enid, I do too! Seems it's the current style of YA covers but I just hate it. I've dubbed it 'body parts.'
AWWWEEESOME covers! We have lots of technical stuff thanks to computer technology, but I still LOVE handmade illustrations. Congrats!
Whelan is an amazing artist!
I LOVE all of McCaffrey's covers. She had some cool ones for Crystal Singer too.
Whelan is amazing.

Nice artwork! And I agree with you about Richard Scarry.
Nice artwork! And I agree with you about Richard Scarry.
Whoa! I had no idea Anne McCaffrey wrote books without Dragons.
Sia, Whelan did almost all of her original covers. The newer ones aren't as good.
Thank you, Karen. I know I'm biased.
Matthew, she did a lot of science fiction outside of her Pern series and quite a few women's contemporaries. And yes, I've read them all.
The covers are eye-catching indeed.
Awesome covers but I don't like gruesome ones.
Yvonne,.
Some of those covers are really cool. I love it when the characters match the ones pictured on the cover.
These are incredible covers, Diane. I love every one of them! My daughter's favorite is Fuzzy Sapiens, because...of all the GREEN. And the orange across the top - perfect contrast. Very impressive.

Clarissa, because sometimes that doesn't happen.
Ann, I liked all the green, too.
I love all these covers - so beautiful!
Great covers. I really envy artist people.
Thanks for being a my featured guest and mentioning my book cover. Have a great week!
Great covers! Ahhh, brings back memories of all the Anne McCaffrey books.
Bonnie, thank you!
Debbie, I know. Really sad she's gone.
Thanks for introducing us to Bonnie! She's amazing with her artwork. Covers are so important and people do indeed judge a book by its cover.
Fabulous! I'm going to go check out your guest post now.
And that cover for the Horse and his Boy is great. I loved that book even though most people don't pay much attention to that one in the series.
