I am the only one who didn't know...
| Diane Perkins and Diane Gaston are the same person? She blogs on a nifty looking site called Wet Noodle Posse and Warner Women. I know a few of you... tara and kristie come to mind have really enjoyed The Mysterious Miss M and/or The Wagering Widow by Diane Gaston. Her next book is A Reputable Rake (came out in UK last nov). After that is The Coveted Rose, which isn't out here or the UK yet. So which cover do you like better?   |

I don't know if you are the only one, but I knew :) I've only read one of each so far although I have them all, but of the two I read, I liked her better as Diane Gaston.
I like both covers - I can't really say which one I like better.

ok, ok. It would have to be the one on the right. He has a bit of a Johnny Depp look going there and I luurrrvvee Johnny.

And I only knew because Kristie said so on her blog. :-)
I like both covers. although the second one catches my eye more quickly.

I didn't know they were the same person but that's not surprising since I dont follow historical authors too much. I like the one on the right too but because its a crisper picture than the one on the left. I also like the font they used.

I'm saying the one on the right too. Clearer picture and better flow. The cover on left doesn't have anything that really draws your eye in except that big purpleish blue thinger in the bottom corner. Also the guy on the left cover has some freaky blonde Charlie Sheen thing going. Gives me the creeps.

SAMATHA: HA! I thought the same thing. hee I wondered if anyone would say that. Sort of hungover charlie I think...
hee I like the second better as well but I don't like the way the UK HH has that writing over the corner at all.
hee figures you knew Kristie. And it did seem later that maybe I had heard it and forgot. I was thinking RT but will go with P.Devi and think I read it in your blog ;).

None of you will probably come back here to see my response, but I thank you for your interest in my "Rakes".
The Mills & Boon covers are created from their stockpile of years and years of former covers, hence the M&B cover is a little less than perfect. The Harlequin Historical cover, however, is a newly commissioned cover--I know the artist is Alan Ayers and the model is Ben Whitaker.
And yes I am two people in one, a long story and probably not the best decision a new writer following advice ought to have made!

I just bought The Reputable Rake on the weekend and while I just started it - I have 2 others on the go too, so far so very good.

I like the cover on the right the best. The guy's much better looking, even though he could do with a haircut.

I like the one on the right...
hee I almost bought these yesterday then I remembered I have no money to be buying books I don't have time to read. So I will put them on the list!
I want A Reputable Rake but was wondering it will stand alone.
