Hi everyone! I need your help… My latest thriller – The Deadly Hours – needs a cover, and my friend Cory Clubb has created three awesome options to choose from! So which one is it going to be? VOTE NOW! Comment below this post, or email me at matt@mattbronleewe.com!









#1 matches the color scheme of your previous two books so that’d be cool. But #2 rocks. I vote #2.
I think I like #2 the best… I so can’t wait til this book comes out!! I loved the first 2 in the series.
definitely #1! very eye-catching and awesome looking!
#2 is a close second, but your name is much harder to read in that one, I think because of the use of that lighter weight typeface
Dude, #1 without a doubt. Color and layout easily the best. And TRUST me, I’m a book cover designer, not just an author.
Just pull your name in a tad on the sides so its not being cut off.

I like #1 and #2 (if it had your name in the same style as #1). I think I lean toward #1. “The Deadly Hours” stand out a little more when it’s all in red. “Hours” in #2 seems a bit connected to the number 9 on the clock. I do like the clock hand on #2, but not enough to completely sway me from #1.
I greatly prefer the font treatment for your name in #1.
May have commented on the wrong post before – I go for #3
#1!
I like option #2 the best!
Matt, #1, hands down! The color pops, won’t get lost on the shelf. Like your name treatment in #3 best, but #1 is a close second. In #2 I can hardly see it. Love la tour eiffel…
Matt, I think I would have to go with number 1. It carries similar colors to the other 2 books and the orange just jumps out at me. Very vibrant. The only thing I would recommend is moving the “The” more to the right closer to the Eiffel Tower watch hand as to differentiate it from the watch face numerals.
Looking forward to the read.

It’s a toss up between 1 & 3 – I’m gonna have to go with #3
I like number 2 the best, except for the fact that your last name gets a bit lost…
#1 – Definitely!
I haven’t read any of the book yet, so I can’t let the story influence the scope and feel of the story, so on looks alone I would choose the cover that is below the “Vote Now” first and then #1.
I vote for cover #1. It’s the most eye-catching.
#1
All are awesome. But my favorite is #1. Keep up the amazing work, Matt!!
Close between 1 and 2 but I think 1 is the most effective
I vote for #3!
I like #1 the best. THe colors draw me and make me think of heat. And it sounds like the action is hot inside the book.
So that’s my vote.
I really like Cover #3. I think it captures the essence of the first two books and blends them together nicely. However, I like them all. Great job Cory!
#3!!
Cover #2
I vote for cover #2.
Dang, that’s tough! It’s so close it hurts!
#3 is really neat, but I like the other options better. Between #2 and #1…I’m going to have to go with #1. (But only because the Eiffel Tower is clearer and there isn’t an awkward white smudge. I like your name better on #2. The color schemes are both great, too…)
So, #1 it is! Before I change my mind…
Can’t wait to read it!
I really like #1.
I vote for #1. I think the color scheme is more intriguing, but what do I know!
I vote for #1. (If #3 had a brighter red for the title I’d have voted for that.)
Hands Down… #1.
#1! (:
#2
i’d go with number one, but i’m partial to orange…
peace… love… bdg…
#1
#1, so obvious. luv.
I like the color in #1. It is like fire and definitely will draw book buyers attention. #3 is also good, no real color but it is like one of those mysteries of the 40’s where the cover is stark and dramatic.
#1
Number One.
#3…I like the classic black and white effects!!
#3 is my vote.
I vote for number 1. #3 is cool but #1 is easier on the eyes.
#1 – I really like its vibrant color and the way the Eiffel Tower is clearer. Using the buildings as clock hands to match the title with where the action is is great. However, I prefer the font of the title on #3 better as somehow it seems to suggest more action.
#2 is by far the best
I say #1. The first two had similar color schemes and it just looks right. I have House of Wolves in my reading stack for Christmas break. Illunimated was a great adventure.
Definitly #1 as most of the other responses have noted.
I like the color of #1, like your other two but it looks crowded as do all of the others. I like #2 because of the blood on the clock’s hands. It catches my attention and I want to find out more. I vote for #1 or #2 and declutter them a bit. I’ll read the book whatever cover it has! Phyllis
#1
I vote for cover 1
I like #3 myself…brings to mind the old serial thriller books of yesteryear. But…that’s just me…As long as the books keep coming I’ll keep reading them!!
Because of the color – cover #1. Definitely the most eye-catching! I wonder what it would look like if you added the color from #1 to the font and picture of #3 though.
Number one looks the best, and it keeps with your visual theme from your other works…Hope things work out with finding another publishing company… (im still writing that story by the way)
I vote for #1. It fits the series yet is distinctive. The others would just blend in on a bookstore shelf. I’ve asked for the bundle for Christmas so I can read The Deadly Hours even though I already have a copy of the first two. Since we’re voting on a cover does that mean that it will be published. I’d really like to have a copy to hold while reading.
It is a toss up between 1 & 3. #2 is too faint in shades of grey and name disappears. I like the slanted fast speedy action-packed font in 3. But I like the attention grabbing eye-popping orange yellow cover on #1 the best! Combine the font in 3 and the colors on 1 and it is a keeper.
I vote for #1. It’s “illuminated”.
#2 love the red numbers and hour/minute hand…especially like the font on your name!
I agree with the above statement “Number one looks the best, and it keeps with your visual theme from your other works…Hope things work out with finding another publishing company… “. So #1 is my vote.
#2 rocks!
#1 is the way to go.

Wow… Really great post!
Have a fantastic day!
I must say, politics and religion bring out the best and also the very worst in people. The very best because both can lead to folk being incredibly helpful, the very worst as both can lead to unbelievably mulish and irrational acts. I’m not attacking you, your post simply made me grasp this, so thanks for that.

I like #3! It looks really cool!
Cover #2 is the best.
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement

hey first class little website you got there
I use the matching template on my website and yet for whatever odd reason why it seems to reload easier on yours despite the fact that the one you have provides far more multimedia. Have you been applying any specific plugins or widgets that will quicken it up? If you could quite possibly give the programs so that I can use them on my own site so twilight new moon supporters could watch twilight new moon online trailers and films more quickly I’d personally always be pleased – thanks ahead of time
Me and my hubby are anticipating our very first baby inside one or two months. As a soon to be young mother I am trying in order to know as much as attainable. This webpage ended up being exceedingly useful. I am looking to get new information virtually all the time and in addition I sincerely love to learn in addition , I read quite a bit. If you have any writers or perhaps a publications regarding brand new mothers anyone could possibly strongly recommend I would definitely enjoy the tip.
Can I link this post from my blog?
I just tried to subscribe to your RSS feed and it told me some kind of PHP error! Fix it?
hey . Great job. I did not expect this on a Wednesday. This is a great story. Thanks!
