Book Cover Design

I've been learning more about book cover design with different effects and experimenting with how to get the message or tone of the book across with a simple cover design.  

Trying to think of a storyline for a practice cover was difficult to come up with.  I finished watching "Last Dance in Halifax" and that show was an inspiration for this cover.    

This was the first cover of all of them I put together and was the easiest for me.  I love anything lavender ~ even lavender scented house cleansers and trash bags.

I was reading Alice Munro's "Moons of Jupiter" story collection which inspired this cover.  Thinking of someone who goes to Hawaii or other island for kind of an escape and writes.
