As if book designers think, <i>no one would think of them as attractive, so for heaven's sakes, let's leave them off the cover of the book before they affect sales.</i><br /><br />Ugh.<br /><br />Tiger Moon actually has a new cover - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/0810944995/ref=dp_image_text_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books" rel="nofollow">this</a> is the one I saw first.<br /><br />Here's the <a href="http://blot.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/tiger_moon.jpg" rel="nofollow">artist's first rendering</a> of the same cover. She doesn't look all that dark, but she's obviously South Asian, with the sari, henna decoration, etc.<br /><br /><i>I did not know there was a sequel!!</i> Oooh.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
