Different Editions, Different Covers (and a giveaway)

August 14, 2020 By Becky Wade

I really enjoyed Lynn’s recent post in which she shared pictures of the variety of cover art her books have received. Her post inspired this one!

Here are the several faces of my novella Love in the Details….

L to R: the cover of the initial novella collection, the cover of the e-single, the cover of the upcoming collection (releasing in January)

And here’s the artwork worn by my novella Because of You:

L to R: the initial cover of the collection, the e-single, the cover of the large print edition (complete with an heirloom that looks nothing like the heirloom described in the novellas)

A large print publisher recently purchased the rights to my most recent release, Stay with Me.

L to R: the cover for Stay with Me and the cover for its upcoming large print edition. (Sorry it’s grainy… I couldn’t find an image with better resolution online).

The book of mine that has been given the most covers is My Stubborn Heart.

L to R: the original cover and the cover of the repackaged edition that released last fall

L to R: the Swedish cover (in which they kept everything the same except the photo of the hero). The Polish cover. And the audiobook cover.

Even though some of these covers are favorites and some are not-so-favorites, I’m grateful for each one. The creation of new editions of a story is always a good thing!

Before I go, I wanted to tell you about a giveaway…. I don’t have a book included, but I am one of the authors who started a new group for Christian and sweet romance readers. It’s called A Most Storied Romance and you’ll find the group here on Facebook and here on Instagram. We’d love for you to join us for romantic, bookish fun.

To enter the giveaway, subscribe here before the end of August to receive one email each month filled with updates from the participating authors. We’ll send the winner paperbacks of all the pictured novels except Engaged in Trouble, A Wing and a Prayer & Love Arrives in Pieces, which will arrive in ebook form. Paperbacks are available for US residents only.

Happy weekend, everyone! Which of my covers shown on this post do you like best?

    My favorite cover shown in this email is the one for Stay with Me. It’s so realistic looking, sweet, and tender.

    • Becky Wade says

      You’ve hit on the things I love about Stay with Me’s cover!

    I have always loved that wedding dress on your novella cover. I think all the different covers for Love in the Details are lovely as well.
    I notice that the new print edition has changed one of the stories from the original.

    • Becky Wade says

      August 14, 2020 at 6:33 am

      Actually, two of the stories have changed from the original. 🙂 Katie wrote two stories for the Year of Weddings series. To Have and To Hold included her second story. Say I Do includes her first.

      I agree — I think both collections have wonderful covers. I’m a fan of the pretty shades of blue and I always gravitate toward covers with wedding dresses. They’re romantic!

    “complete with an heirloom that looks nothing like the heirloom described in the novellas” – so those stories don’t take place on the Titanic? Hahaha!

    • Becky Wade says

      August 14, 2020 at 6:34 am

      LOL!! Not I have the song My Heart Will Go On in my head…. 😉

    Love in the Details was the first thing I read by you – loved it! I have the e-book single, so the cover in the middle with the beautiful dress is a favorite. I have the paperback of The Christmas Heirloom, first cover, and again it is a favorite – the snow, the coat with the fur.

    Might I say I love the quirky way you presented Then Came You, a great lead in to your Bradford Sisters series!

    • Becky Wade says

      It’s wonderful to hear that Love in the Details was the first story of mine that you read, Betty. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

      And I had a blast introducing my Bradford series with such an unusual novella. It presented a great writing challenge. 🙂

    I have always loved the cover of My Stubborn Heart!! New favorite is Stay With Me!

    • Becky Wade says

      Yay! 🙂

    Fun post, Becky. I’ve always loved your Christmas novella cover, Because of You. I think you e-single cover turned out the best of all of them. The model is gorgeous yet has that down-to-earth look. Her outfit is adorable. The colors are subtly Christmas, and the glowing from the shop window is just so warm and inviting, I want to go in. it reminds me of a Thomas Kinkade painting! 🙂

    • Becky Wade says

      August 14, 2020 at 4:44 pm

      And it reminds me of a Hallmark Christmas movie! I’m so pleased with how that cover came out, for the reasons you mentioned.

    I like Say I Do cover

    • Becky Wade says

      August 14, 2020 at 4:45 pm

      I’m a fan of that one, too!

    I really enjoyed seeing your beautiful covers, Becky. I’m excited to read your new novella in January.
    My absolute favorite is Stay With Me, the soft colors really speak to romance reading. Thanks for the fun post!

    Stay with me is my favorite cover! 🥰 it’s such a sweet picture

    • Becky Wade says

      August 14, 2020 at 4:46 pm

      I love it! So romantic.

    It’s so much fun to see the different covers. I love the “Love in the Details” cover with the wedding dress. It’s perfect! Thanks for sharing with us!

    • Becky Wade says

      August 14, 2020 at 4:46 pm

      My pleasure!

    I love the original cover of My Stubborn Heart (although the new cover is beautiful). I like that Kate is fully visible but Matt is partially hidden – I think it really reflects their personalities. It may be my very favorite Becky Wade cover! I also love The Heirloom collection cover – the beautiful red coat with the brooch feels so romantic and a bit timeless. I do love that Sweet Art is in the background on the e-single cover of Because of You – a fun nod to the rest of the series, especially Maddie’s friend Britt.

    • Becky Wade says

      August 14, 2020 at 4:48 pm

      You’ve picked out great details, Gretchen! I think “timeless” is what the designer was shooting for with that cover.

  12. Janice L. says

    August 14, 2020 at 2:46 pm

    You’ll have to forgive me, but I am partial to that first cover for “My Stubborn Heart.” It’s still my favorite of your books, and the young man with the marvelous square jaw is Matt.

    • Becky Wade says

      August 14, 2020 at 4:49 pm

      No forgiveness needed! 😊 It’s hard to top that jawline.

  13. Jocelyn says

    August 14, 2020 at 7:31 pm

    Although my all time favorite book is My Stubborn Heart, I like Stay With Me cover the best.

    • Becky Wade says

      August 16, 2020 at 6:36 pm

      🙂

  14. Jenny says

    August 14, 2020 at 9:04 pm

    I read “My Stubborn Heart” (original cover) because of her wistful gaze…and of course…his strong jawline. But I loved it in the end for your sweet story.

    • Becky Wade says

      August 16, 2020 at 6:39 pm

      Your comment made me smile, Jenny! It wasn’t easy to make sure the story lived up to that jawline.

  15. Teri DiVincenzo says

    August 19, 2020 at 10:47 pm

    Stay With Me is my favorite, but I love them all in their own way!
