What is<\/em> the purpose of a book cover?\u00a0 What does each of these say to the potential reader? Which do you like, and why?<\/p>\n

A special thanks to Seymour Hamilton, author of the Astreya<\/em> Trilogy<\/em>, Margaret Muir, author of many books including The Black Thread<\/em>, Uncanny<\/em>, and Under Admiralty Orders; the Oliver Quintrell Series,<\/em> and V.E. Ulett, author of Blackwell’s Adventures.\u00a0 <\/em>I am greatly appreciative to them for their comments and suggestions on cover design.\u00a0 Thanks to my husband Bob Russell, and to graphic designer Albert Roberts.\u00a0 I get by with a little help from my friends!<\/p>\n
