Cover art for Lessons in Love (A Cambridge Fellows Mystery)

[charlie_cochrane]

I know it's seems long way to November 1st (actually it's frighteningly close) but I wanted to share the cover with you. There are still various bits and bobs to go on (like author and publisher name) but I'm pretty chuffed with it so far.

Shame you can't see the belt of Jonty's Norfolk jacket...

Good Gawd, they're not nekkid! Congratulations on foiling the Curse of Bad Romance Covers!

*bows* Thank you.

The covers are all on very similar lines - the lads, a background appropriate to the story, although the clothes change. Some of them had more bare chest. In some they are both fully dressed!

I like it, too. And doesn't the guy on the right look like a younger version of Gerard Butler? Or is it just me fantasizing? ;-)

Thank you.

I have a confession to make; while I know of Gerard Butler (classics/musicals mad daughter who goes "Blah blah, Gerard Butler Phantom, blah blah Gerard Butler 300") I had no idea what he looked like. Now I do and you're right - very similar.

Glaswegians are OK, aren't they?

He sure is a fine example of a Glaswegian.

And you haven't seen 300? A horde of sweaty, buffed up men who fight for their honour while wearing very little clothes? You really should!

Two of my favourite people are Glaswegian - neither is Gerard.

My daughter assures me I should see 300 (or Troy, or Gladiator or Alexander) but I'm resisting. My idea of the ideal approach to the classics is a nice Michael Wood* documentary, eg. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=E9o07JqxM6M

*Known in the 1980's as the thinking woman's crumpet.

That looks awesome!

Thank you - I was very pleased.

SQUEE! *bounce* November is too far away for my tastes. *pouts* I love the intelligence look. Very appropriate. *nodnod*

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

November is ominously near for me. :)

They do look like they have brains, don't they?

Thanks! *mwah*

It depends on whether you're the writer or the reader. *wink*

That's the point, I'm sure. *smirk*

You're welcome! *mwah back*

Hurray! The suit/glasses combination is v. sexy on Jonty, Orlando looks like a prettier Clive Owen, love the banner and the books on the background are teh awesome! Is it November yet?

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I think Jonty is just gorgeous, even fully dressed.

No it's not November yet, which is just as well. You should see my to-do list!

Can't wait to have this hot little item in my eager and impatient hands :-) And it will definitely not go to the bottom of my substantial reading pile which looks rather like the library behind those two gorgeous totally well fit lads *g*
I squee with glee for you :-) oxox

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *g* I do hope that one day we can squee together again!

My bedside table looks like those bookshelves and is getting worse.
