Susan Sleeman here. I’ve been working on cover ideas and a title for the last book (book 5) in the Justice Agency series. It's almost as hard to choose a name for a book as it is to chose one for a child. As I've been working on it, I've been thinking about how important both items are to the success of a book and wondered what you thought.
This book, a Love Inspired Suspense, takes place on the river in Portland and in San Diego. The hero lives in a floating home and there are several scenes in the book that feature water.
We decided on calling the book Dark Tide, which I thought was very
appropriate to the setting while at the same time conveying suspense. I
hope it does both and intrigues the readers to want to give the book a
second look.
Here's one of the pictures I submitted to the art department for the cover of book. What does this picture evoke for you?
So what about you? What motivates you to pick up a book? Are you intrigued by the title, the cover or the author? Or maybe it's the back cover copy?Or maybe it's none of the above. Weigh in. Let me know what you look for.

WHO CAN SHE TRUST?
Alyssa Wells has uncovered evidence that her police officer husband was
murdered by his partner-a dangerous claim in a small town. After two tours in Iraq,
protecting Alyssa and her children shouldn’t be a problem for private
investigator Cole Justice. Alyssa feels drawn to him, but how can she trust
anyone after everything she’s been through? Cole’s sure his heart is closed off
to love, but Alyssa and her children seem to have found a way in. As the killer
draws closer, Alyssa realizes she’s trusting Cole with more than her safety.
