The text wil be tweaked, to incorporate Karen's quote, and they may futz a bit with layout to fit everything in, but essentially, this cover is approved. Yay! I have a cover! Now my book can stop running around all naked-like...Things I really like about this cover:
- the fact that it looks as much like a tropical flower as like a book
- the fact that the pages look like they're rustling (so, so glad they chose to go with the 'motion' part of the title instead of the 'bodies' -- we could've had random body parts splattered across the page)
- the intense luminescence of blue-green (which is a little more blue and even prettier in the print version)
- the font -- pretty, but not too foofy
- the fact that it's striking and visually attractive from halfway across the room.
Ohhh Mary Anne, that’s a good cover. I didn’t realise at first that it was a book; I thought it was some sort of tropical frondy thing. Or leeks. And that made me think of all those characters chopping onions 🙂 Which may not be so apt for this book, but: anyway, it doesn’t matter. It’s a beautiful cover, I love that I see the shapes and colors as beautiful with or without specific meaning assigned to them, and that they suggest a kind of delicate, sensual movement.
Really like that cover.
Girl, you totally lucked out with that cover. It’s freakin’ gorgeous!
Wow! That rocks!
What a lovely cover. Congratulations! And I agree with Karen, at first I thought it was a picture of some sort of frond, until I scrolled down and saw the entire book. I love how they interpreted “motion.” Beautiful!
Beautiful! Very nice!
I’m in love. Very nice.
On the pink: There needs to be a nod to chick lit. So your name gets to be it.
I was already planning on buying a copy, but now I’m *DEFINATELY* going to get a copy. Maybe two.

That is absolutely gorgeous. They’ve done you proud. 🙂
That’s certainly one that would attract me if I saw it as a faceout on the shelf on the bookshop.
And the friend I’m with came over to see what I was “ooh!”ing about, and liked it too.
I actually realized it was a book right away, but I like that it can be seen either way. The font is way bitchin’. Beautiful cover, Mary Anne.
I love it. It’s very attention getting and pretty. Pretty is one of the things I look for when pourchasing a book. 🙂
