Cover art for Courage of Falcons -- painting by Fred Gambino
The falcons, the storm-filled
sky, the young woman with sword drawn are all beautifully executed.
I don't know why Kait has suddenly become a blonde, unless it's
so she doesn't disappear into the storm cloud, as she might if her
hair were the black it should be. And why she started buying boots
from Wal-Mart, I'll never know. Those are quibbles -- overall the
painting is beautiful, and evocative of the mood of the book.
As with Vengeance of Dragons, I didn't know what my cover would
look like until the finished flats showed up at the house. I got
my say early, and then held my breath and hoped. I think I was pretty
lucky.
