well-l-l ... I think you've had better ... that isn't Daav to me. But I'll certainly get them anyway. What do you think - will new readers be enticed?

Frankly, I don't know what entices readers. For every person who said to us, "Yanno, I almost didn't buy THAT BOOK because the giant turtle on the cover just Didn't Do It For Me." there is her opposite number, who not only bought the book BECAUSE of the giant turtle, but wanted a poster of the turtle.

that isn't Daav to me.

Yes, but new readers won't have a clue who Daav is.

Remember these aren't finals yet; these are the comps that go in the catalogs and brochures. :)

artilishious!

Err. Does Daav know that Aelli is feeling up Clonak?

(Oh, yeah. I'll buy it anyway.)

Have *no idea* who the couple on DRAGON VARIATION is supposed to be. I mean it's vaguely possible that it could be Daav and whatsername, Samiv tel'Izak. Or maybe Anakin Skywalker and Faith from Buffy.

But it certainly couldn't be any of the main couples in the books.

Grump grump grump. We only complain because we love you and your world...

Of course, I will buy this one.

Yep, I agree. It looks like Aelli and Clonak on the Mouse and Dragon cover. :)

Check the picture again...the man is wearing an earring...Daav, not Clonak.

Well, yes. But he really does look like my image of Clonak. And it may be the underlighting, that makes him look like he has a mustache.

I rather like the created alphabet on the marquees.

The artwork in general is great; I don't think the faces fit the descriptions of the characters particularly but I'm just going to suck it up. On a brighter note, I did find the cat this time.
