Just saw this posting for voting on the genre cover of the month on Ariel’s blog, Genrephiles . So go on vote…
Its a good idea since, lets face it, genre readers are vocal on the rights and wrongs of covers (and the contents!) in spite the commercial pressures that publishers face in actually selling [...]
