Can't Get Enough Cover Art? (part one)

I would pick up these books on the cover art alone.


Surrounded by escalating violence in Africa, Bible translators Scott and Debra Warrington's 14-month-old adopted son, Dominic, is abducted.

Outraged, an ordinary community rallies together and finds themselves pitted against an international crime syndicate, corrupt officials, and a bitter biological father. Will the Warringtons ever see Dominic again? Based on a true story.

Operation Jonah will be available from Creation House in January. This cover may be the best one yet.



Underwater archeologist Shiloh Blake is consumed with passion for the water and inflamed at the injustices of life. When her first large-scale dig traps her in the middle of an international nuclear arms clash, she flees for her life. When she spots a man trailing her, the questions are, Who is he? and How is he always one step ahead? Reece Jaxon is a former Navy SEAL and now serves his country as a spy. His life is entangled by the beguiling Shiloh Blake as he hunts down the sources to a nuclear dead drop in the Arabian Sea near Mumbai, India. The only way to end this nightmare and prevent a nuclear meltdown is to join forces with Reece. Will Shiloh violate her vow to never become a spy?

Dead Reckoning will be available in March from Abingdon Press. Abingdon Press is putting out some really good books for a newbie pub. My TBR pile looks mighty good. This is Ronie Kendig's debut novel. You may know Ronie from Novel Journey. Congrats!



Sophie Frangos is torn between the love of two men and the promise that binds them all together. Markos Stavros loves Sophie from afar while battling his thirst for vengeance and his hunger for honor. Dino, his quiet and intelligent brother, simply wants to forget the horror that drove them from their Greek island home to start a new life in America. One of these sons of thunder offers a future she longs for, the other the past she lost. From the sultry Chicago jazz clubs of the roaring twenties to the World War II battlefields of Europe to a final showdown in a Greek island village, theyll discover betrayal, sacrifice and finally redemption. Most of all, when Sophie is forced to make her choice, shell learn that God honors the promises made by the Sons of Thunder.

Sons of Thunder will be available in February from Summerside Press.


Any book by Susan May Warren is a must read regardless how the cover looks.

The cover for Operation Jonah just gives me chills. I had not heard of it before your mention.

I love how creative Abingdon Press is with their cover art. Definitely veers from the norm.

Hadn't seen the cover for SMW's book...but it (the book and the cover) looks good.

Thanks for sharing, CeeCee!
