    That is a good cover Jay.
    Are you working on inclusion in the 2011 issue yet? :)

    Excellent, Jay.

    Thanks for the link!

    ;)
  • KJKJ
    I think the cover is perfect for the book
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Carol - I can re-submit stories they didn't use this time. I check a website regularly to see who's asking for submissions. Yes, I hope to submit for the next anthology.

    The cover for Best Gay Romance 2009 ended up being changed, not sure why.

    Great cover, Jay. :D

  • ClaudiaClaudia
    Oh yes, nice cover. Good luck with the 2011 anthology (although judging by your success with this one, you should cruise it!)

    Final cover of 2009 anthology

    Which one do you prefer?
  • CarolCarol
    Definitely the final choice.
  • Phots MollPhots Moll
    The cover of the new book is great. It's subtle, but not so obscure you'd have absolutely no clue what kind of book it might be.

    Of the 2009 ones I like the final one best - it looks more romantic imo.

    I didn't like the first choice for the 2009 anthology at all! Second one was preferable, but I think the 2010 one is the best.

    p.s. is it just coincidental that only women have commented on this thread?
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    The men are running scared.

    And there are more women on Talkback, I think.
  • forget-me-notforget-me-not
    Aw, that's a lovely cover, Jay!
  • DaisyDaisy
    The new cover is good. Re your question about which of the 2009 covers are best: the second one.

    It can be tricky getting covers right.

    I found you on the back cover! Well done again.
  • LizLiz
    So did I Jay, it's wonderful... means they think your story's one of the strongest. Brilliant!
  • Phots MollPhots Moll
    Congrats, Jay!
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Thanks, folks! It's a light, humorous piece. A few words have been amended for the American audience, but I held out for 'boot' instead of 'trunk'. :)

    It looks wonderful!
