Tom Noir Comments: Sick of the cheesy, over-wrought covers being inflicted on her books by artists, Mercedes Lackey hires a photographer.
Published 2009

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 7.36 out of 10)

    I had to check twice–honestly!–to make myself sure this wasn’t a vanity press autobiography.

    I like the swirly whatnots at the bottom, though.

    No wonder she wears white. That’s one nasty case of dandruff.

    She, whoever she is, looks like a stoned middle aged fairy. Or the middle management woman who ruins every office party by getting drunk beforehand and showing up as Glinda the Good Witch and forcing everyone in her department to do the Welcome to Munchkinland number from the Wizard of Oz.

    The placement of the text in relation to the photo makes me assume that the lady depicted is Mercedes Lackey herself.

    My vote goes to Daniela Amavia, who played Alia in the Children of Dune miniseries. A bit of peroxide, a dash of Photoshop, and voilá.

    I was going to make a Fairy Godmother comment but then saw it was another title in Ms Lackey’s Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms series.

    I assume she is hard at work on The Tooth Fairy. Trilogies are so passe.

    Was this taken at a book store? If not, why do you have more than one copy of the Bastard Prince?

    There is a very large used bookstore near me called Chamblin Book Mine, with tall wooden stacks reaching back into the dusty dimness. They have many a dogeared copy of sci-fi and fantasy novels with questionable covers, and they don’t hassle me when I whip out my camera and start taking pictures. I usually buy a couple of books out gratitude, but not typically the ones that make for excellent GSS fodder.

    Totally ting-ed!
    Also, they felt it necessary to capitalize “Tale” in the blurb, for no good reason except to emphasize that this isn’t a coffee table book of Meteorological Princess photos.

    In a cover of whiteness, why does she have dark nail polish?

    After dressing as Galadriel for ComicCon snagged Bob the sweet gig as cover model for Mercedes Lackey, he never went back to the drag queen karaoke scene.

    You know what would be awesome, if the titular ‘Snow Queen’ was actually a reference to a female drug kingpin on the mean streets of Magical Chicago.

    But keep the same cover.
