Putting a cover on your book is like&#8230;dressing it up for a performance or a job interview or a first date with the person who may be The One. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not something I take lightly. I know that you shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t judge a book by its cover, at least not when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re metaphorically talking about <em>people<\/em>, but we all judge actual books by their covers. Oh, man, what if I got the wrong artist and my book showed up for its first date in something entirely unlike it and the person never called it back?!?!<\/p>\n<p>But I had seen <a href=\"http:\/\/cotronis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">George Cotronis<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work on my friend <a href=\"https:\/\/abrokenlaptop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mercedes<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s books. And checking out the other pieces on his web site made me feel like this was the artist to make the picture in my head happen. In fact, I had the pictures in my head for all three books currently planned for this series. And, someday, I might pay someone to make them just so I can see those in the flesh (or at least in the pixels). And I totally admit that I braced for disappointment when he asked if he could try his own idea first. My brain doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t easily let go of its ideas about how a thing should be.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine my delight when even his first draft was awesome. When my bookseller friend who is obsessed with cover art declared it a great cover. Then George took feedback and poked and prodded and&#8230;And there it is. A cover I love, a cover that is the right outfit for this book\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first date, a cover now released into the world.<\/p>\n<p>A cover that I suspect gets even better when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve read the book. But maybe that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just my delight spilling over.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, I hope that you see this cover and think that this is a book you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to take on a first date. (I am biased towards you buying the print version so that you can hold both the front and back in your hands. Isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that the goal of most people on first dates?)<\/p>\n<p>Want to set up that date now, for cheaper? (I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t judge; cheap dates can be great.) We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got the pre-order live and at a reduced price (save a couple bucks!) from now until the night before the book is published.
