The effect was a cover that let you know this was a chilling book and it was done without spilling one drop of blood!promise rings ukhttps://www.kuchijewels.com/product-category/kuchi-tribal-jewellery/dress-necklines-patches-accessories/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671249594820130735.post-44355351872723104492019-09-23T08:54:37.198-04:002019-09-23T08:54:37.198-04:00Do you know how to track a phone by IMEI?

When I first saw it I remember thinking Well, of course, that's exactly what the cover of this book should look like.Eleanor Lermanhttp://www.eleanorlerman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671249594820130735.post-52275459900195161242015-06-17T18:14:00.577-04:002015-06-17T18:14:00.577-04:00I've been fortunate to have four books with Pe...I've been fortunate to have four books with Permanent and each time the covers have been excellent, across a range of styles. For the first book, I thought I was lucky. By the time the fourth came around, I understood that I was working with someone really top notch, and in the preparation stages for this book, BACK IN THE GAME, I took the liberty of sending him a letter, which read in part: <br /><br />"You’ll see that, among other things, the story concerns pigs and industrial farming waste, i.e., shit. If there were a way to depict some amusing aspect of pigness while at the same time slyly evoking the shitness, that could be interesting. [...] to have a book cover depicting shit (appealingly, of course!) but the reader won’t realize it’s shit until having read the book."<br /><br />Not an easy request, admittedly. But I couldn't resist making it. Flash forward a couple of months: Lon delivers a cover which accomplishes a very attractive version of that idea, while adding nuances of his own.<br /><br />When I've given bookstore readings, and set up this story premise with a couple of passages and then called attention to the cover, it always gets a spontaneous, happily shocked reaction from the audience.<br /><br />Lon's visuals are translations of a high order which also stand on their own as arresting images.Charles Holdeferhttp://www.charlesholdefer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671249594820130735.post-35524054660703493462015-06-17T14:42:09.398-04:002015-06-17T14:42:09.398-04:00Lon sees worlds in words and encapsulates them bea...Lon sees worlds in words and encapsulates them beautifully in images.Charles Davishttp://charlesdavis2.wix.com/charlesdavis#!novels/c1vvenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671249594820130735.post-75939997490743651662015-06-17T13:07:55.109-04:002015-06-17T13:07:55.109-04:00Wow!.

It's very cool to see examples of how the magic gets done. Thank you!Sheila Deethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465615546936319164noreply@blogger.com
