Jeffrey, I can't properly express how much your words mean to me. You're probably quite familiar with the incessant, niggling doubts that bedevil the writer, and just prior to your response another reader enflamed those doubts in me. Your comments were therefore perfectly timed and perfectly stated so as to restore my confidence. A big advantage to keeping one designer is to create a certain consistency recognizable to fans. The covers may be quite different, but they still tend to resonate with a similar feeling. I have come to rely on the designer for my covers, and he understands the nuances of popular marketing that elude me. I have great respect for his work. So again, thank you so much for this huge expression of support!
