Due to a far, far larger number of entries than expected, it may take me a little longer than previously anticipated to get those contest covers up here on the site for general voting. Stay tuned! I should have them up by tonight or tomorrow morning.

Just one day to go until the Cover Contest closes! With so many entries (over fifty at last count), I will, for once, be closing the contest when I said I would, at midnight on Sunday. So get your entries in now!
In the meantime, here’s a bright and floral cover for Saturday:

Don’t you get the feeling that this is a woman with weighty things on her mind?
Just as a reminder, the Cover Contest officially closes Sunday at midnight, so if you have any last minute inspirations, now’s the time to get out the photoshop….

Because Mondays are always tough, here’s a bright and cheerful cover to kick off the week.
Doesn’t it just beg for a caption? I’d love to know what he’s saying and what she’s thinking.

The cover contest bounty continues! We have nearly fifty entries, each as lovely as the last. I’ll be displaying them all on August 2nd, once the contest officially closes, but, in the meantime, here’s our cover of the day.

Back to the slightly more traditional….
Another prescient cover! One of the pivotal scenes in the book involves an artist’s studio, a crimson velvet throw and Laura letting her hair down.
Since it’s Friday, let’s make it a double feature, shall we?
It’s gray and rainy today where I am– rather [...]

See what I meant about all the covers being different?
The double-framing device in this cover picks up not only on the leitmotif of art and artists, but also the ongoing theme of dual identities.
Appropriate for a spy novel, no?
Miss Grey is a governess turned spy pretending to be a governess. [...]
