Wow!<BR/><BR/>I remember an author saying she never reads anything in her genre in case it somehow seeps into her consciousness and her writing. Is this ever a concern for you?

Some authors do have cover approval in their contracts, and I have had that to a certain extent. I think that if I pitched a fit, my editor would change it.<BR/><BR/>However, I learned long ago that covers are huge marketing tools. With another publisher, I had a cover that actually didn't in any way match what my book was about at all. I thought it was a bit strange, but marketing is not my area of expertise.<BR/><BR/>I am just happy when the covers show some core element about the story (this one certainly does) and when I like to look at it. I think Intimate Beings is wild! I love her hair. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for asking.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>JJessica Barksdale Inclanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786171108577156707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-51220443773087304052008-10-16T06:17:00.000-07:002008-10-16T06:17:00.000-07:00HI Jessica!
