But when my agent later mentioned she thought my first cover wasn't so great, I paid attention to the second. Surprisingly, when I didn't like the first one they sent for Everyone She Loved, my editor, who's like the Michael Jordan of her field in terms of successful best selling authors, actually listened and they went back to the drawing board. I was amazed. and yes, i can't wait to see what they dream up for your food critic mysteries..or to read them...the research must be fun!Sheila Curranhttp://www.sheilacurran.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-8548890306911619512010-10-07T09:25:11.179-04:002010-10-07T09:25:11.179-04:00Thank you for telling us about the cover fairy.

One of the first proposed covers was of a charming Old Town house and palm fronds. It was beautiful, but I also love the cover I ended up with--AND I think the new cover that will be on the trade pbk next spring is luscious. As long as readers are attracted, it's all good! <br /><br />I love how you say that the proposed covers for FINAL FORE all had "just the right hint of murder."Therese Fowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947928823404887883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-68725915207861102052010-10-07T09:03:36.034-04:002010-10-07T09:03:36.034-04:00You have been blessed by the cover fairy.
