Cover to cover
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

SciFi Guy created a video salute to the ubiquitous Urban Fantasy covers from tramp stamps to unbuttoned jeans. I’m chuckling, as he included one of my covers in the mix. Hee!

Just a month and half until Blood Bargain hits the shelves! I’ve already been Klausnered. As usual, she gets some of the details wrong. (for values of some that mean “most”). Ah, well, at least I’m in good company. ::g::

Of the amusing & interesting:
Whedonesque reported a photo of James Marsters in a Jayne hat

My boss blogs on the value of your e-mail.

Cleolinda continues to recap True Blood.

I have stopped watching Heroes. Srsly. Season 3? WTF? (to quote Jackie Kessler)

Hope everyone has a fabulous Wednesday!

    Is it ironic that to leave a comment you have to include your email address? *g*

    James would be sex, even in bunny ears.

    He’s also willing to do be silly in fan photos (which people pay) which is both fabulously mercenary of him and also, sort of cute. I mean, he’s basically being paid to be a model in a photograph, and models will and do wear anything they’re told to wear.

    Still, it is sort of fun to see the results.

      Oh, yes.

      He’s such a hoot and a good sport.

    I feel bad tho–it’s not as if the authors (or even their artists) have control over cover design. And speaking frome xperience, most of the back and over-the-shoulder shots make it possible to keep the model anonymous. Which lets the reader continue to picture the characters as they like, and also frees up the artist to use different models/stock for subsequent covers.
