My job has me move around every two to three years, so yes I was on the other side of the world until last August when we moved here to Nassau. I know what you mean about covers, but I had already commissioned the cover art for the fantasy book years ago, then when I finished the sci-fi I knew that cover artist wasn't what I needed.Ted Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022309459554237650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319453613836766610.post-39709332495520472072017-07-09T18:30:03.653+02:002017-07-09T18:30:03.653+02:00I have found it odd that almost no one seems to bu...I have found it odd that almost no one seems to buy both The Immortality Game and The Shard. I understand that they seem very different, with one being a technothriller and the other an epic fantasy, but they are set in the same 'universe' and share characters, despite not being a traditional series.<br /><br />...it's because they have two different covers. Conveying the idea the books are related, even though different, is easier if the covers look similar. Believe me, I found out the hard way.<br /><br />It's great to see you again. When did you move to the Bahamas? I thought you were on the other side of the world.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319453613836766610.post-81056055379449735832017-07-01T21:20:12.972+02:002017-07-01T21:20:12.972+02:00I'm reading a Star Wars book right now, though...I'm reading a Star Wars book right now, though not by Zahn.
