SPFBO6 : Cover Competition
1 June 2020 
It’s difficult to believe but the next SPFBO competition is about to start (more details and links can be found here) and in traditional style we begin with a cover competition. So, posted below are the 30 books that I’ve been assigned (which I’m excited to tuck into – in fact who am I kidding I have actually started already). I will be posting an introductory piece but thought I better make my selection for the competition. Below are my covers and my final 3 that will be submitted for the cover contest (follow this link to see all the other contestants):
My three covers:
Which are your favourite 3?
Books and travelling with Lynn 
I really like Emma and the Minotaur, Chains Carried on Wings, and Burn.
Emma and the Minotaur is almost deceptively simple – I really considered it for the competition and it was so difficult to make a final decision.
Lynn 😀
This is my favorite part of the competition, because I’m all about the covers! I love the covers you picked, but I also love Heart Scale, Burn and Chains of Blood. Good luck to everyone!
Those are three other covers that I really liked. Heartscale is so full of detail and I love that it’s a wraparound – I think I’ll have to do another post about some of the other covers just to draw some more attention to them.
Lynn 😀
Really impressed with a lot of these covers, I think my favorite is Chains Carried on Wings though!
Yeah, it’s a good cover – to be honest I was quite impressed with a number of these and went back and forward a bit with my choice but then decided to stick with first impressions.
Lynn 😀
I love these covers and you’ve definitely picked some of my faves. I also like the one for Tuyo but probably because I’m drawn to snow in book settings.
Coincidentally Tuyo is the first book I’ve started to read and I’m enjoying it very much so far.

I love The Flight of the Darkstar Dragon cover
It is a lovely cover.
Lynn 😀
Wow, I didn’t even know SPFBO 6 was already underway! My eye was immediately drawn to the cover of War Bringer, probably because it looks suitably “epic fantasyish” ::)
Yes it does now you mention it. Something about thestance?
Lynn 😀
Have to agree with Tammy – I’m all about the covers too!
Like you I love Calico Thunder Rides Again (for its cover AND its title!), but my other picks would be The Child of Silence and Emma and the Minotaur – I love me some tress and some mountains. 😀
Can’t believe SPFBO has come round again …
I just absolutely love finding out which covers everyone likes. We’re all so different.
Lynn 😀
I see that dragons are featuring prominently here, which is very, very promising… 😉
The cover that stands out for me, however, is dragon-less and it’s the one for “Burn”: for some reason I find it very powerful.
Yes, that definitely draws my eye and was another strong contender.
Lynn 😀
Oh cool!! My three are The Flight of the Darkstar Dragon, The Child of Silence, Emma and the Minotaur.
Heartscale is a close one because of the dragons on it.
Heartscale is an epic cover isn’t it.
Lynn 😀
