Tuesday. It is Book Day!
Which I had Totally Forgotten, sigh.
The Anniversary Edition of I Dare by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, following the adventures of ne’er-do-well Pat Rin yos’Phelium on Surebleak is now on sale from ALL of the Usual Suspects, with! A spiffy new cover from Sam Kennedy*. Go forth! Tell all your friends! Books make great presents and we are right here at the beginning of Potlatch Season, so what could be more perfect?
Nothing, that’s what.

*Do not, please, b*tch about the cover. It’s old, the b*tching about the covers; I don’t commission or create the covers, so I can’t do anything about whatever fault is found this time. Also, even if I could fix it; it’s too late.
And, yanno, I don’t want to fix it! It is in fact a great cover: It shows action! adventure! determination! a truly lovely Korval-themed jacket! and is true to the story. I’m happy. If you’re not happy, I refer you to Thumper (and ghod, of all the things I’ve forgotten, WHY do I remember Thumper?), who laid down a Potent Life Rule: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” Thank you.
Signed, cranky author who has been listening to people complain about covers for 35 years.
Sharon, I’m sorry people have complained about the covers. I tend to like them. Something I’ve noticed is that whoever is doing the covers seems to have actually read the books. There are details in there that come across wonderfully.
My favorite cover is still on The Gate That Locks the Tree. It is simply marvelous. Spooky, beautiful, atmospheric, stunning and gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
People always have Opinions. “Humans, the animals who know better.” Ahem.
Thank you for your compliments for The Gate… Steve designed that cover (Pinbeam Books covers *are* our fault), and it is gorgeous.
