a better book cover
It’s only taken them six books, but the cover designers for Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel series have finally figured out how to make a cover for the story inside.
Yes, everyone knows how much I love the series — but is is just me, or is this cover hot?
It’s the last book in the series so I can’t wait to read it. Gotta wait until June.

Personal Update (11/5/08)
Today is just a happy day. Sun shining, a sense of great change for the better is in the air. I'm trying to stay fluid and in the moment.
Still plan on traveling. Book #2 is so close to being printed! I've got some new pictures to share, possible new paths to take. Making decisions that few have had to make before. There's a feeling of no net below me. For once, I'm learning to enjoy the feeling.
For those who have wondered how I am doing on a personal level, things are better. I'm finding my feet and re-building. I'm learning a lot and hope that I am growing and moving forward. For what it's worth, I don't feel stagnant! I'm excited to wake up every morning. So if I haven't heard from you in a while, make my day and send a note! :)

I've discovered the pleasure of working with Brian Gardner's WP themes. His free stuff is nearly flawless, his newly open-source Revolution is mind-blowing and he's actually a nice guy. Although his work is easy to use right out of the box, there's infinite fun to be had by customizing (i.e., destroying) it. As you can see here.
Yeah, that’s pretty hot.

The irony. Finally get the cover right on the last book. Oh the irony.
JW,
At least the story’s been good, even if the cover designers have been behind the curve. They should consider how many books they’ve would’ve sold if the first five covers had been better.
If I were going to go back to escort work, this cover would be in my “inspiration” folder.
Ian,
With a cover that hot, would you read the book? Curiosity question.

JW,
Further thought…since DGT covers sexy literature, how about a feature on sexy book/album covers? Disregard the content and go for the visual. It would be interesting to see what you come up with.
