That said, I definitely will pick up the book.

I think this is because of the time of day/night of the picture. With that said, I second Carleen's comment, and I will do my part in DC to get the word out about your book!! <br /><br />EmersonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649468859582209416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-20736765773727123082010-06-16T19:57:39.261-07:002010-06-16T19:57:39.261-07:00I really like your cover.

Good to know. Some of us don't like chick lit covers. score one for intriguing and mysterious.<br /><br />Toni,<br />Bless you!<br /><br />Carleen,<br />I hear you. Jennifer (lives in my city) Weiner was my muse on this one in many ways. Not content, but audience. And if we're honest her humongous audience as well. I'm not ashamed to say it :)<br /><br />Evelyn,<br />If it makes you happy, I think the woman on the back has natural hair. And you're right, no connection whatsoever to the plot...except that it takes place in bklyn.

It does seem like it's a detective novel or some kind of crime story. It doesn't give me a feel for what the books about. It is intriguing though and I would pick it up in a book store if I saw it. I tend to read all kinds of books though and am drawn in by mysterious looking book covers.Lovelynhttp://nebulousmooch.comnoreply@blogger.com
