What's Wrong with This Picture? |

|
With new editions of all these
books now available, it seems like a good time to do a comparison of cover
art...especially since I got to design the cover art for the new
editions.

Garden of Thorns(First Edition)The original cover of Garden of Thorns with its New England clapboard house always makes me scratch my head in puzzlement. The first words of the story are, "The weathered brick of the house..." and its setting, Fort Worth, Texas, is mentioned in paragraph three. Again, there are no women waltzing around in nightgowns. The trellis is nice, though, giving the cover some depth.

Garden of Thorns (Back-in-Print Edition)The new cover is a photo of a house of the right time period and similar architecture which is actually in Fort Worth--you can see the Texas Historical marker between the first "L" and "I" of my name. It escaped the March 2000 tornado by a quarter of a mile--whew! The original title of this book was Blood and Roses. I don’t remember the publisher’s excuse this time. All three of these covers are based on pictures taken by my husband, Paul.
