The Goddess of the Hunt was a treat! I was absorbed by the story and the characters......I even laughed out loud at times....but most importantly, the story was so romantic and touching. I am continuing to read all of them! The covers are beautiful! You are so very talented. I hope to keep reading your books for years to come! Just love your books!

I like that they are beautiful, and not cheesy or overtly um... how do I say? Vulgar? Anyways I think they are very classy and lovely. I also love that you gave us such a good picture of your heroines. I am the type of person who likes to put faces on the characters I am reading about and getting that picture of them is often difficult for me, but you have helped me a great deal with your great book covers!

But maybe if Doreen gets back in touch, she can tell me. Good question! @<a href="#comment-4036" rel="nofollow">Louisa Edwards</a>: Glad you liked it, Louisa! I knew so little about the process before I sold...it is rather shrouded in secrecy, isn't it? ;) I thought it was really cool of Doreen to explain it all to me. @<a href="#comment-4037" rel="nofollow">Carol</a>: I know exactly which covers you mean, with Candice Hern. Yes, they were beautiful! @<a href="#comment-4038" rel="nofollow">Lori Brighton</a>: Thanks for dropping by, Lori! Your new cover is gorgeous. And I love book sightings! @Tina Louise: Tina, no I don’t know anything about the models. But maybe if Doreen gets back in touch, she can tell me. Good question!

Sadly, I think a lot of us have just gotten used to cover images that have little to do with the contents, sometimes. and as you say, it's surprise when it actually matches up! But a good one. :) @Colleen: First, thanks for reading GotH!

Some of my favorite covers are Candice Hern's "The Merry Widow" series. The covers were actual paintings from the period. Like your covers....just the lady of the story. The covers are beautiful.

It's rare to get to such nitty gritty details from the art department; very interesting to hear the process from the cover artist's perspective. Awesome post!

I've always wondered how covers come about. I never would have guessed the buyer had a say in them. Do you know anything about the models? It seems they never get credit. Tina Tessa,
