I can't wait to read it!<BR/><BR/>What influences me in buying a book is a favorite author. If they are a new author I will read the first page. If their voice and style grabs me, I buy it. If it's a new author I've never read, it's the cover that grabs me. For instance, I was in the grocery story recently and always, always have to brouse through the books. I saw one on the shelf by C.S. Harris called When Mermaids Sing. The cover intrigued me first because I will be working on an urban fantasy this year about Niads--in the mermaid family. Then I read the first page--It told me two things: It was a historical mystery and the author's voice grabbed me immediately. I bought it, read it, loved it. Now I must read anything new by them and of course their back list.<BR/><BR/>I hope that Still Irresistible sells, sells, sells!!<BR/><BR/>Have a great day all,<BR/><BR/>CherCher Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224759236951233721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285147945883095450.post-39067046821946972262009-01-28T06:51:00.000-08:002009-01-28T06:51:00.000-08:00Hey, you all: Thanks so much for your feedback on ...Hey, you all: Thanks so much for your feedback on my cover and book aspects that make you buy!<BR/><BR/>Combining your posts with those on my eharlequin companion blog, I have drawn names and, drum roll, please...<BR/>Tracey and Mel K, if you'll email me your addresses at dawn@dawnatkins.com, I'll put STILL IRRESISTIBLE in the mail for you!<BR/>Best,<BR/>DawnDawn Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12270552634085160758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285147945883095450.post-77752649659674665162009-01-27T08:56:00.000-08:002009-01-27T08:56:00.000-08:00Love that cover -- I'll be looking for it at my ne...Love that cover -- I'll be looking for it at my nearest Target, and probably fighting off other shoppers with a stick!Laurie Schnebly Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341692759555705414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285147945883095450.post-36940453188741375982009-01-27T05:46:00.000-08:002009-01-27T05:46:00.000-08:00LOL!

If it's an author whose books I haven't read, it's the back blurb that makes me decide whether I buy it or not. And yeah, great cover is a nice bonus and it does draw my attention to a book in a bookstore, but I never buy a book just because of a pretty cover.Minnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150644876765079753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285147945883095450.post-10421864835851002992009-01-23T12:19:00.000-08:002009-01-23T12:19:00.000-08:00Dawn;Congrats on the box of books arriving early. ...Dawn;<BR/>Congrats on the box of books arriving early. You must be thrilled!!<BR/><BR/>What influences me to buy a book-<BR/>First, fave author/author recognition. Fave authors top my list.<BR/><BR/>When looking at new authors it's the blurb and the first chapter. If I'm unfamiliar with an author, I'll read the full first chapter before buying.<BR/><BR/>Covers -- they are a nice bonus but it's what is inside the book that matters really.<BR/><BR/>Your cover for Simply Irresistible, the title is fitting LOL I'm not sure I'd be able to resist this one and probably buy for the cover.<BR/><BR/>I wish you HUGE success with this new release!<BR/><BR/>Tracey West<BR/>avidreader03@yahoo.comTraceyWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342160195974908175noreply@blogger.com
