I've never heard of the company,...Fascinating. I've never heard of the company, but it is so much fun. A bad cover can destroy a book and an author's heart. I know that most authors don't have control of what they get. So I try my hardest not to judge. I generally go for the flip through.<br /><br />I've been lucky in having an indie press--Platte River Press (platteriverpress.com)--means that I have been able to work very closely with their main illustrator, Stuart Downing, and it has been a great collaboration! I'm really happy with my covers so far. While I tout collaboration, I also have to say that giving him room to have his own vision was key.Bets Davieshttp://betsdavies.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
