Here is the front and back of the bookmarks! I love what Jian Chan did with the image and the layout! I am so happy he’s been with me every step of this process!

It looks fantastic! After working with you, is Jian Chan considering expanding his work in the book arena? He’s doing a great job.
Thanks! 🙂 I’m not sure. He has a full time day job, but always seems to find time for projects on the side. Definitely check with him. He’s an absolute dream to work with–super creative, organized, patient, time conscious, and very responsive to emails. 🙂
Very nice! I love the way the trees carry over onto the back. Seems like a keeper. 🙂
Thanks! 🙂 We wanted to leave room on the back for autographing. 😉 I love the snowy trees.
Love the repeat of the stark but delicate branches from the front repeated in contrast on the back – great design 🙂
Thanks, it’s all Jian Chan. I took the original photos but he put them together and laid it all out. He’s got the coolest eye for design. 🙂 We talked about the mood of the book a lot so he could make sure the cover and bookmarks evoked it.
They look great. I like the minimalist look to the writing. Mine is more crowded.
Thanks! Jian prefers minimalism. I’d have covered the bookmark in words without him! I think genre plays a part too. I’ve noticed that mystery and thriller bookmarks tend to have more writing and tighter letters. So I’m betting yours looks awesome too!
AMAZING……….. 🙂
Aw thanks! 🙂
Great job!!!
Thanks! I meant to post for Monday, but WordPress decided otherwise. 😉
Mysterious, subtle and beautiful. Great job! I can’t wait to buy/read the book…
Thanks Kelly! 🙂 That’s exactly what we were going for. 🙂 Aw, I hope you enjoy it! I may release the ebook a little ahead of time just to make sure all the links work right. 🙂
Oh, yes, I’m excited, and completely faked out by WordPress sign-in technology. Sigh.
LOL. Every time I think I’ve set the date and time on a post somehow WordPress resets it to post immediately. I’m sure I do something wrong, but today I’m refusing to take the blame. Intention matters. 😉
oh, oh so pretty. I love bookmarks.
Thanks! I looked at a bunch of them for ideas, including yours. 🙂
Beautiful! What fascinates me most, however, is the background on which you photographed it. I swear, it looks EXACTLY like my desktop!
Thanks! Wow, that’s actually a picture of my backyard in a snow storm. Jian just photo shopped the heck out of it! 🙂
Really beautiful, Kourtney!
Thanks Naomi! Jian is an artist. He’s also great at showing me what I want and proving that I don’t want it. 😉
They look awesome, Kourtney!
Thanks Catherine! 🙂 I really love how they came out. It fits the story so well imho.
They look brilliant. Another week closer 🙂
Thanks! Yeah, I’m starting to freak out. I still don’t have the physical proof from Createspace. And the weeks are flying by.
Very cool and love the image! Did you take the original photo? 🙂
Thanks! I took both photos–the snowy trees and the white house were two images taken months apart. 😉 I had this vision of the cover having a white house and snowy trees around the house.
