Happy first everyone! July 1 felt like an eternity in coming, but I’m glad it’s here. First off, happy 4th everyone. Be sure to enjoy everything you love about the holiday. That said, it’s time for a new bracket. If you’re curios or new, check out the Book Covers for December, January, February, March, April, and May.
June’s bracket has 30 new covers and the top two runners up from last month, The Lost Travencal by C.M. Jobe and The Other One by Amanda Jay are also back for their deserved second attempt at winning.
Last month, we went with a single tournament in which voters could vote through all the rounds at one time. Since it broke the record for most overall votes, I’m giving it another shot. I still feel it was taking a lot of energy though, so this month’s bracket will only be one week long. To make it work, I need your help. Please vote and share as much as possible to get people a chance to pick their favorite.
As always, I’d appreciate it if you tag the authors and artists if you know them. I try to tag or friend every author I can, but sometimes it’s hard to track someone down. Max participation is a huge deal to me. The more people who vote, the more recognition these authors and artists receive, and I want this to be as legitimate as possible.

If you are the author, let’s remember to be good sports! 1) Please feel free to message or contact me at any time. 2) Please feel free to like, share, text, ask for support, and call everyone you know. I absolutely want max participation. However, if you’re going to offer giveaways or prizes, please offer them for voting, not just voting for you.
Also, while your summoning your army of voting soldiers, please make sure you ask them to vote in every match. Part of the idea of this is to get exposure to as many artists and authors as possible. By all means, if you can get 1,000 people to vote for your book, do it. Just please also send some eyeballs to the other matches.
A final note to authors and artists: I currently have links to the books’ Amazon pages. If you’d prefer I switch that link to sign up for your newsletter or like your social media page or whatever, just send me the link and let me know. I want this to help you. I want this to be as helpful as possible, so whatever you need me to do to facilitate that, just let me know.
I hope you keep having fun. Please, vote, share, and discuss as much as possible.
All you have to do now is head over here to vote!
Thanks for reading,
Matt
Loads of great covers on this one!! 🙂 Loved the FOR STEAM AND COUNTRY but my final four was tough!

I actually gravitated toward one pretty quickly, but there were some really hard ones for me to choose from starting in the Elite 8.

That was where I noticed it getting difficult as well!

Great bracket! Lots of amazing choices. I could be wrong, but are the numbers directly above the images how many people have voted for a particular cover? I sort of wish you could turn that off. I have to try to focus my eyes to not look up there to ensure I’m not being swayed by popular opinion. If those numbers are just random…then ignore my foolishness.

You’re right. Those are the votes. I suppose I could blind the results (I think) if enough people get mad, but I sort of resist it. I’d like the authors to know how things are going. Especially with how close the last few months have been.
