I don't like the last one. Too hard to read.

I don't have a preference for whether the author name in caps or not.

I'm thinking of using #3 for the print version because I've found that some elements that look great in thumbnail format are too large on a full-sized book.Alison Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725250883303287946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-38164639991810425622015-07-15T11:13:41.671-04:002015-07-15T11:13:41.671-04:00Thanks, Rolynn.

My last novel was romantic suspense, and I used a big, blocky font for the title. It fit that story (and I plan to use it for the whole series), but it doesn't feel right for Christmas stories.Alison Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725250883303287946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-70362819929655125362015-07-15T10:59:20.536-04:002015-07-15T10:59:20.536-04:00Doesn't my cover look pretty!

It's kind of like the type you used for Jannine's name on her cover.
