Next week is cover week

Recently, in one of my many lives, I've been involved with creating book covers for romance novels. Real ones.

I got the chance to participate all the way from the planning stage, through the photo shoot, through the design to the final release, with all the bumps in between. I think maybe a few of you would be interested to hear about it.

But I have to write all this stuff up first and put pictures and all that together. So next week will be Cover Week here at Abby's blog, with lots of behind-the-scenes stuff on what it's really like to make a romance cover.

Usually, bloggers who do an Event Week go all-out and give shit away and stuff, but not me. I don't have any books to sell to any of you so I'm not going to do all that promotional crap. No prizes because a) I don't have anything anyone would want and b) I can't be arsed to go to the post office. I promise pictures and some T&A and some gossipy stuff. OK? Starting Monday.

In the meantime, here's one of my favourite covers of all time, and no, I don't know why:



I like the pose, and she looks exactly like I pictured the heroine. I love the cheesy clinch covers, and I don't care who knows it. They're a blast.

It's a good book, too, though sadly out of print. Nab a copy if you find it!
