You know, this is slowly becoming my g...Ha. HA. <br /><br />You know, this is slowly becoming my greatest fear . . . that I'll write some really brilliant *ahem* piece of historical fiction, get some publisher to agree to take it on--and then have to watch them choose some utterly ABSURD cover which has nothing whatsoever to do with the story or even with the period. <br /><br />Honestly, wouldn't that be a shame? I've got a lovely idea for the cover of my newest novel (when I get it written, haha) and I don't want the publishing company to spoil it. <br />Katie Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818413749107653398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-80207280405725110232016-05-14T09:11:48.741-06:002016-05-14T09:11:48.741-06:00EEEEEEEEUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
I gotta s...EEEEEEEEUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!<br /><br />I gotta say that last cover at least looks rather interesting. But I'll take your advice from your young unafraid self :P and not bother checking it out, haha. <br /><br />Does the Duke's Promise book even CLAIM to be Regency? I don't see a single thing Regency about it. (I don't doubt you, haha, I'm just curious if they even mention the time period.) <br /><br />I must say I rather like the cover of Becoming Lady Lockwood because I like painted-looking pictures, BUT it does not look Regency AT ALL. Sadly, though, authors generally DO have very very little say in what the covers look like. I would want that to be part of my contract if I ever got a book published, haha.<br /><br />Also, can I just say to Rae-- "what the Wickham" made me laugh out loud. :D Miss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-72408499960460336972016-05-13T12:22:03.694-06:002016-05-13T12:22:03.694-06:00"What does a girl from Charleston, South Caro..."What does a girl from Charleston, South Carolina know about being a lady?"<br /><br />WEEELLL....I should hope I know a little something, haha.

(Haha, sorry, that's slowly...What the Wickham?! (Haha, sorry, that's slowly becoming my favourite exclamation of horror. :) I've seen some "Regency" novels and they just...NO. Ugh. I mean, really, having read Jane Austen it's easy to see how fake and awful others are. I've read one Georgette Heyer, and she does a pretty good job, but still--It is, as you said, ridiculous what people try to pass of as "Regency." I completely agree. These are ridiculous.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11124714551912774373noreply@blogger.com
