I have the stories in other volumes but nice to have them in one place along with all the other great historical fiction.Charles R.

It's clearly agnes despite the long hair and manicured eyebrows (he wouldn't be the first to depict her thusly, or with less clothing (*cough*KenKelley*cough*).<br /><br />So where do I see the "other image?M.

Actually, I think it's the eyebrows: far too severe for my liking. Still, I could live with it: it's just that the other choice for the cover is so beautiful that this just pales in comparison.<br /><br /><i>Sonya - I'm guessing that's Sonya - has an almost vampire look on the cover - looking to tap that market maybe?</i><br /><br />As Dave said, it's Agnes. Ah well, 'tis just a cover, and at least it isn't Aggie in a mail bikini or with metal breastplates. That would be so much worse.Taranaichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176999342965850175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-70355321665659444402010-12-14T14:41:34.209+00:002010-12-14T14:41:34.209+00:00It's supposed to be Dark Agnes on the cover, t...It's supposed to be Dark Agnes on the cover, there was much debate over at conan.com whether it was any good or notDave Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-43544610827412017452010-12-14T13:43:27.358+00:002010-12-14T13:43:27.358+00:00Sonya - I'm guessing that's Sonya - has an...Sonya - I'm guessing that's Sonya - has an almost vampire look on the cover - looking to tap that market maybe?<br /><br />At any rate I'm really looking forward to this one.
