Found a great animated series too, that I'll be posting 'best of' episodes for the next week or so. Not sure the humor is for everyone but it floored me--as in rolling on. :)<BR/><BR/>Agree on the covers. Yes, I know, romance sells, but SFR has so many other qualities to promote. Comparing the two covers of GAMES OF COMMAND, the original and the one the "branders" came up with, I know which one is my favorite by far.L. A.

Smart Bitches recently contributed to <A HREF="http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6614768.html?q=the+forever+clinch" REL="nofollow">The Forever Clinch</A>, an article at Publisher's Weekly about clinch covers which explored how ingrained they were. But if covers are going to evolve now's the time to explore something fresh for readers like us, when romance is continuing to split into different sub-genres.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, no one seems to be listening to the authors but maybe they'll eventually listen to the folks who buy the books ;)Heather Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00913459109753829391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-42705252171597256882008-11-15T19:48:00.000-07:002008-11-15T19:48:00.000-07:00Yes, Heather, though it's an uphill battle to figh...Yes, Heather, though it's an uphill battle to fight, I think the science is getting more sophisticated while the romance still caters to our basic emotions. The two combined makes for a great read. (Now if the publishing houses would only take this to heart and stop branding great SFR stories with romance covers.)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and San Diego was great. I did a little research while I was there prowling the insides of an old Russian Foxtrot sub. :)L. A.
