I've got a feeling it's probably an editor or publisher decision rather than the author. That being said, not sure why they do it. I have more than a few books that have "a novel" or "a novel by..." on the covers and are really quite good. Life of Pi, a couple Wayne Johnston books, and a John LeCarre for starters.
