No hard feelings.
The new '...Apology accepted. No hard feelings.<br /><br />The new 'nym actually was my pick as way to differentiate these books from the Long Price stuff. They're very different projects. And oddly, I've had at least two people who, discoverin' I was a boy only after the fact, said they wouldn't have picked it up had they known beforehand. So there may be something to the gender obfuscation, or it might just be sampling error. I don't see it a big issue either way.<br /><br />Your objection to the cover is well-taken. It is very much an urban fantasy cover, and it ain't breaking any new ground. And if it turned you off the series, I certainly respect that. I've seen the cover for the second book, and lemme tell you, it's totally going to fail for you too.<br /><br />As far as your promise to never put your money into that kind of cover art . . . well, should you ever choose to shoplift a book, please keep me in mind. And also I'd recommend stealing Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville books. They've got the covers you don't groove on, but she's doing some very interesting and quietly subversive work.<br /><br />And thanks for talking about the book, even just to say why you were passing.Daniel Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16930752271607641042noreply@blogger.com
