Hmm... I can certainly understand your reservations over the new cover, but as someone who reads very widely (inc. more 'mainstream' urban/contemp fantasy) I know this cover will sell copies. I'm now the romance/fantasy buyer (alongside Trisha Telep) at Murder One, and I would display many copies of this with confidence.

So, yeah... Sales = A Very Good Thing. :)

p.s. May I post the cover art on my blog? I'll also forward it to Urban Fantasy Land - they regularly post new cover art, but may not pick up on yours.
