Slightly OT, but a friend of mine writes YA fantasy, and while her first
few covers were a little dubious, she's really pleased with the designs
for her upcoming book and for a new edition of another one. She says
for once the cover pictures actually look like her heroines.

I, too, write romances, and I've been fighting the bodice ripper label for
years. To me, bad book covers are on the same level as poorly done
historical costumes or bad SCA garb. ( I teach Costume History on the
college level and my husband and I are in the SCA, so I know from whence I
speak.)
