My editor didn't seem to understand 2 out of 3 complaints I had about the cover art. This surprised me. The hemline is being changed but I have a feeling that the body distortion will still be there. As for the shoulder bag, my editor said he thought it was a holster. No one would wear a holster over their coat. A shoulder holster is worn underneath a jacket or coat. And my protagonist wouldn't wear one ever. I'm not looking forward to this discussion this week. There seems to be a rush on this but it's not my fault that the art department couldn't look in a book or on the Internet to find out what people were wearing in the 40's. I hope I don't have to drag my agent into this.
I've almost completed the page proofs. They would've been done by now but I've been working on a new website with an artist long distance.
Anyway, I hate the book again. And it really makes me not want to write the next in the series. Maybe I'll be dead by the time they want a third. Very cranky here.
