She was kind enough to photograph a set of her favorites, and this is part three of a triple installment of cover art magnificence. Yes indeed, this is The Fatal Fortune by Jayne Castle aka Jayne Ann Krentz, 1986. And despite appearances the heroine is not covered in white…goo – the cover is a bit damaged.

Angela James has a call for submissions up on her website - which isn’t a big deal, if you think about it. But what caught my attention is that this is the second time I’ve seen an editor reach out directly to writers via blogs or Twitter. First was Heather Osborn, who said over Twitter that she had a hole in her publishing calendar and needed an urban fantasy/paranormal manuscript that was completed and ready to go.
