Gosh, I love it when people can agree!)

Of course, someone will hate it. That's the nature of asking opinions. I get a lot of passionate mail when it comes to the artwork. I enjoy it though because it's usually not my design so there's no way I can take it personally or have my feelings hurt.

Thanks for stopping by and for voicing your opinion. That's why I do it and it does make a difference!!!
I've been looking at some covers from some self-published authors and the covers were made using 3D modeling and it doesn't actually work very well. It just looks like computer images tacked onto the cover.
