Well I gotta second EVERYTHING Carolly said...and then some!!! The basic rule of the contest is that you design a cover for a MAINSTREAM Romance Novel...doesn't take rocket science folks. I said it in another thread and I will repeat it here. Pick up ANY Romance Novel in any regular bookstore, or K-Mart or Walmart and what are you gonna see on the cover...a gorgeous hunk o' man and a beautiful woman...dressed in the clothing of that period when romance ruled. I think it's a perfectly beautiful theme, and I plan on entering myself. Contests challenge our artistic abilities, and after all, isn't that what art is all about? Gets you to stretch and grow and just plain have fun....so everyone? Have Fun!!!!! :-)
