Durbin Comments: This sequel to Make Way For Dragons takes place on a fantasy world. Once again, no blondes, Valley Girl fashions, giant dragons or skateboards occur in the novel.

Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: Well here’s my Nephew, a silver jump suit and a box of mangoes. Now just head out to that field and get me a picture. I’m sure whatever you come up with will be just fine.

Sffgeek Comments: I would like to suggest an additional category – covers using stock images completely irrelevant to the book’s content.

Scott B’s Art Direction: For this cover I want a fantastical pink-purple-green eight-armed lobster-snake thing. But to bring it down to Earth I want you to paste in photographs of four human eyes. Because that won’t be incredibly creepy or anything.

Rachel J Comments: No, my tagline is not stolen, and yes, my hair does have a life of its own. Now excuse me while I attack forty lens flares, a doorway, a glowing mist and a block of high-rise flats with my trusty katana.

Alessandra Comments: This is one of those subtly wrong covers. What’s up with the faces? And looking closer, the anatomy. His eyes are oddly round and oddly placed, a little too close together and a little too skewed to our right. Her right eye (on our left) is too low, giving her an odd one-eyed (or in the right light, three-eyed) look. Not a cover that screams its wrongness, but still eye-watering when you look closely.
