After much thought and consideration, we have decided to end the Say Yes to the Cover event. We apologize for any inconvenience and are grateful for those that took time to visit our blog and vote in the poll.  Winners for the book giveaways have been randomly selected from the current list of entrants, and we threw in a couple of extras for good measure to show our appreciation.

In an effort to ensure that we are doing our best to support our author and her title in a positive way, we felt that is was necessary to take this step. This closure in no way affects our plans to hold future cover contests and administrate other innovative events for our authors. We love to think out-of-the-box, and you just never know – another incarnation for THE BRO-MAGNET may be coming down the pike.

PRIZES:

The updated prizes now include an Amazon gift card valued at $25.00 USD and a book of choice from TKA’s in-house library, in addition to digital copies of THE BRO-MAGNET and Z, A Novel by Lauren Baratz-Logsted. The winners are:

 Na S. and Darlynne

Congrats to the Na and Darlynne! Please email Contests@KnightAgency.net for further instruction on collecting your prizes.

*******************

A few months ago we helped one of our authors, Lauren Baratz-Logsted, publish THE BRO-MAGNET through our assisted self publishing program. Like everyone else we cackled behind our eReaders over the exploits of the book’s

bumbling hero, always-a-groomsman-never-a-groom Johnny, who can never seem to catch a break with the ladies. As

rave reviews popped up online, we noticed comments on the cover were a mixed bag. Basically, it’s a guy with a pool stick trying to “sink” true love in the corner pocket. (See Exhibit A.) What’s so terrible about that? Well, apparently a lot. Here are a few comments from the Internets:

“The title and the cover are off-putting.” – Jane at DearAuthor.com (Okay, okay. We get the message about the cover, but the title is sort of a done deal… Of course it would be remiss of us not to mention that Jane gave this book a fab review, which noted that she started laughing five paragraphs in and didn’t stop.)

“…I don’t think I would have picked it up without a rec….” - Mandi Schreiner commenting on Dear Author (Happy Sidenote: She read it, loved it and reviewed it for USA Today’s HEA blog)

“The cover didn’t draw me in.” The Book Vixen (However, all the vixens on this popular review site admitted to LOL-ing their way through the book…once they got over the cover.)

Hey, in our defense, we had plenty of tweets and comments that were also positive about the cover. But yeah, we can’t find them. Go figure. So, since we aim to please and think this is an amazing gem of a book that deserves every opportunity to be read — we have been working on a MAJOR cover makeover. We’re talking a Jocelyn Wildenstein-worthy facelift, without the scary. The great thing about digital publishing is that there is a lot of flexibility in making changes to covers, blurbs, text, etc., and we are taking advantage of it. So, without further ado, we present — Say Yes to the Cover!

This is the deal. We’ve narrowed our options down to three final covers that you’ll find below, and we are asking for your help in deciding what new look befits THE BRO-MAGNET best.

The winning cover will become the official one for THE BRO-MAGNET, and we will promptly upload it to all retailers. Yes, we are putting all of the power in your hands to make this crucial decision — so don’t take it lightly. Basically, if no one likes the cover pick this time, we will blame all of you.

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. The Say Yes to the Cover poll is open from noon on Monday, April 16th to Thursday, April 26th at 11:59am ET. The winner will be declared on Friday, April 27th on our blog.  Additionally, to show our appreciation for your participation, we’re giving away two sets of Lauren’s recent eBook releases including THE BRO-MAGNET and Z. That’s two digital books each to two winners. If you’ve already read THE BRO-MAGNET, feel free to gift it to one of your friends. If you haven’t read Z, you’ll want to keep it. Trust us. Enter the book giveaway by leaving a comment to this post with your name and an answer to the following question: What is the silliest thing you’ve done to impress a guy or girl? Two randomly drawn winners will be announced on April 27th along with the final cover reveal.
