Ever wondered what really goes into the design of a book's cover? Wonder no more. Over at Novel Journey, Kirk DouPounce of Dog Eared Design gives us the full scoop. Click here to read the article.Dog Eared designed the cover for Jenny B. Jones' new novel In Between (at left), and he uses it as an example. If you haven't yet read this novel, may I offer my highest recommendation? It's Book #1 in the Katie Parker Production series for teens. But you don't have to be a teen to enjoy Jenny's wonderful humor and insights. She somehow manages to keep things fun without discounting the serious.

C.J.,
I loved "In Between" as well. I reviewed it for Armchair Interviews.
Jenny captures Katie's voice in an amazing way. I passed on my copy to a friend who works at 4Kids of South Florida(they work with kids in the foster care system). I thought it would be a great tool for them to minister to these kids. It was both hysterically funny & poignant. I can't wait for the next book!
Have a great week :-)
