The apple-bite contest is still going... I'll post the winning 5 entries at the end of the month! (And yes, that heart bite was officially photoshopped, as you can tell from the raw photo in the Cover Story and below.) In the meantime, there are posts popping up all over about Small Town Sinners (thank you!). I really hope you guys like it.
I did a Cover Story interview with designer Danielle Delaney yesterday on bn.com (that's another pic from photographer Joe Horne's shoot, left). Here's an excerpt:
"Really strong jackets tend to have a simple concept from the beginning that just clicks into place. What was interesting, was that this book had so many angles of how it could be advertised (such as, romance, coming of age, teen girl, religion, and small town themes) that it was at first difficult to figure out which should be the 'focus.'" --Cover Designer Danielle Delaney
I love hearing the story from the other side of the fence (the art department)! Read the full interview.
Also this week, I chose five stories from Figment to be featured reads! Log into the home page to check them out--there is such great writing on that site!
PS-f you see Small Town Sinners out in the wild (the "wild" being your bookstore or library), snap a shelf shot for me? It's still thrilling!
