That's a great cover, so use it again. <br /><br />Just as often, covers are imitative. When my historical novel Badlands came out in the early 90s, the publishers put a Lonesome Dove cover on it.

In fact when they reprint Wolf Moon in 2011 I hope they use the Ballantine cover which was excellent. I should suggest that. They're bringing back four more of my westerns for which I'm very grateful. Dorchester and Berkley are about the only publishers left in the field. so I feel very fortunate.Ed Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126267358266480356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28085999.post-91918702607560955592010-02-28T15:14:08.255-07:002010-02-28T15:14:08.255-07:00Wow, Ben.
