Amplifier 4: book cover and a giveaway

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!!!! The three winners have been emailed!

Book 5 of 5 (so far), continuing the ‘behind the scenes’ look at the book covers for the Amplifier Series photographed and designed by Gene Mollica Studios.

The moment I saw this shot – on the day of the photoshoot – I knew I needed to use it but that it had to be the perfect book/plot/situation in order to do so. Thankfully, Idols and Enemies (Amplifier 4) is that book cover!! I can’t say much more without spoilers but I will say – yes! Emma and Aiden are finally touching (and touching and touching … lots of ‘touching’ in book 4) 😉 !

I’m not even sure where to start with this shot (mostly because I don’t want to give away too much), because it is so desperately perfect. For the characters, and for the point they find themselves at in their relationship in book 4. Devon (as Emma) and Jonathan (as Aiden) were on fire during the entire photoshoot and Gene’s capture of this moment between them is awe-inspiring. The emotion, the body language. It’s all just brilliant.

So brilliant that I knew it only needed a simple, yet evocative setting/scene to support it (though the apple blossoms/dawn/moon are all extremely significant to the storyline).

The end result is Michael’s favourite cover of the series (so far), this Gene Mollica masterpiece:

Cover design by: Gene Mollica Studios Models: Devon Ericksen and Jonathan Cannaux

  1. Pleeeease let it be me!!! I have had this on pre order for so long and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!! Pleeeease!

  2. Oh wow… and Yes! I would love to move on in the story a little early! And it is even supposed to be a cool, rainy weekend! It would be so perfect for reading!!!

  3. I have loved reading about the book covers! I also love the evolution of the Emma and Aiden getting closer and closer.
    Don’t mind me while I quickly read the series again in anticipation of this release 🤫

  4. Okay, yeah, that is a cool cover. Different from your other series’ ones. Wasn’t 199% sold in them but I definitely see their appeal.

  5. Ooh! I’m quarantining this weekend prior to traveling to visit my daughter and new grandbaby. This would help pass the time!

  6. Counting down the days!! Never knew about the process of developing a book cover, at one point I figured the people on the cover aren’t real and they are just computer generated. This makes it a lot more personal. Great job!!

  7. So looking forward to this! I’m glad I found your books at the beginning of isolation. They’ve made this year so much better!

  8. Would LOVE a giveaway! But, I already preordered, so please don’t pick me! But I had to comment on the cover – it’s amazing! This is my favorite spinoff from the Dowser series!

  9. These covers are gorgeous! I love Emma and Aiden. I’m trying to wait patiently for release day but it’s proving difficult!

  10. Counting the days. After the pandemic and resulting upheaval, smoke lockdown and now a quarantine pending a covid test (no I don’t think it will be positive, just an abundance of caution on the part of my health care provider), I am so ready for this reading pleasure.

  11. Hi, yeah I managed to leave a reply! The series is amazing, exciting and unexpected! A little more tension (not sexual) would be nice 😉 Can’t wait to read the new book! Keep it ☝

  12. Oh… I hope its me! Can’t wait for the book. I love the cover and the series. Actually I like all the series. Thank you!

  13. An ARC for the weekend! It was a bad idea for me to read the first chapter you shared (so good), but if i have to wait until everyone else gets it, so be it 🙂

  14. I’ve really enjoyed learning about the how and why of the book covers. They are amazing. I cant believe it’s almost here.

  15. The book covers are amazing and they match the characters pretty much dead on to me. I however am very impatiently waiting for the book to be released.

  16. Can’t wait. The blossom reminds me of stories my Grandma used to tell of growing up on a farm in Ontario. She is the voice of Pearl in my head when I’m reading.

  17. I’m so excited, I can’t seem to get your universe out of my head, and find myself constantly re-reading! My e-copy is pre-ordered, but an ARC would be amazing!
    Thanks for the stories you tell 💕

  18. I’m so excited for this book, just finished binge reading the rest is the series and the first chapter is super exciting!

  19. I have read your books over and over. I love them so much. And the covers are so gravitating. Such a handsome couple. Would love to have a autographed copy of any book of yours.
