I have a cover story -- I sent in a too loose CAR and got back something I couldn't live with. But Vanessa was a doll and agreed to start from scratch. (Now, if I could have something that looked like a screenshot from the Marie Antoinette movie, that would be pretty sweet as far as sales go. But that isn't going to happen.)
Anyway, how do you pick what to use as a cover for Diaries? Five or six different heroines, though Veronique or Candacis would be the best choices if forced to chose. Then there is the issue of historical accuracy--that is an easily verified period, so easy to get dinged on. So I told her I wanted something with a sense of restriction and sensuality ... what gets these young women in trouble in the first place. :-) And I sent her a desktop (http://www.annvremont.com/desktop_shd.jpg) I'd done. Then she adapted to her style. It's a little darker than what I sent her, but, considering the content, maybe some of those people should get scared away :-).
A long time ago, someone suggested I dress it up as a Catholic ?Missal? -- those red prayer books. That would be perfect for bookstore distribution, but wouldn't help sell squat online.
Off to check my LJ settings because it's not sending me notifications like it should.
