My cat ignores me all day.
The moment I sit down to read, she suddenly comes over to me carrying the brush. |

I wish my youngest was this way. His Majesty always wants to cuddle when I'm cleaning, cooking or in the toilet (he cries heartbreakingly behind the toilet door), never when I'm sitting on the sofa reading.

HOWEVER, I would add that the first thing I tell authors and publishers is that the cover does NOT need to match the story or the characters. If the horse is brown, the hose on the cover can be a chestnut or a bay, or even something lighter. The reader isn't really going to remember. Will some? Sure. If it's Geralt of whatever, they'll remember which Roach he's currently riding. But the cover isn't a guide, isn't a companion book to the book itself--its job is simply clickbait, and the moment that click happens, it's done its job. Tortie or no tortie. It's the book's job to tell the story, not the cover's; it's the cover's job to move the reader into a spot where the book can perform its job. I mean...if you're a cozy cat mystery person, you'll click on that cover, tortie or not. Right? Right. Hitch |

"This is a sample book created using QuarkXPress"
They couldn't even be bothered to remove this from the book description before publishing it ![]() EDIT: The entire book is just a single HTML page and the formatting is atrocious. I'm... going to refund. |
