Interestingly, I actually gave my editor the scene for the American version... and they *gasp* used it.<BR/><BR/>--Lyda (speaking for her alterego because she's too lazy to change blogger accounts.)lydamorehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193266008038604325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-29268996476278772262008-03-13T09:01:00.000-05:002008-03-13T09:01:00.000-05:00Hmmm . . .the woman on the Brit cover is sexier, a...Hmmm . . .the woman on the Brit cover is sexier, and I like the color of the cover better. BUT . . .I really like the bicycle and the cat on the American version because it makes it clear that the heroine is unconventional in more ways than one. <BR/><BR/>They are both pretty good, really. I think you really lucked out in the cover department. I truly hate those photograph covers they use on contemporary romance type of books now. The people on them all look like generic fitness models to me and I prefer my sexy people to be interesting-looking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-57451978759227543282008-03-12T21:29:00.000-05:002008-03-12T21:29:00.000-05:00I actually prefer the American.

You still don't know what the book is about, but at least you get <I>some</I> sort of ideas about the protagonist. Or something like that.<BR/><BR/>I often think the Brit covers are cooler than ours, but not in this case.Douglas Hulickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04221190213829107139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-10914690661685137782008-03-12T20:59:00.000-05:002008-03-12T20:59:00.000-05:00I think the British one is more "hip". ;)I think the British one is more "hip". ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-67325603969402104572008-03-12T16:59:00.000-05:002008-03-12T16:59:00.000-05:00I think I like the british one better.
