Erm. Is it too late for my “SoC staff not responsible for any permanent confusion caused by reading this Misadventure” warning? 🙂
“Sooooooo disappointed once again, Mom!” -Mayhem
Wowser, he smolders with and without hair! Good eye.
Hm. Yeah. That was a bit twisty and he had lots of hair changes in this one, but he never stops staring.
Chris- He’s giving out the hairy eyeball. I think it moved.

Yes, Mayhem, clearly your mom has run out of good ideas, or maybe just good covers.
A recent post from margene..Time for a Confession
So sad there are so many bad covers out there. But it does make for a nice Monday morning chuckle!
I bow to your use of ‘2’. You go girl! 😀
Wow, a headless smoldering stare O.O
Unseen Paths/Painted Paths. I guess the hair photoshoppers (quite wisely) erase or paint over all paths that lead back themselves. And
I think smoldering with a green glow is pretty non-traditional, isn’t it.
I kind of liked him with short hair

I’m surprised more covers didn’t feature him taking the towel off.

After all that, I’d be searching for those unseen paths, too. And what an unusual title for a book — I Think It Moved! 😀
A recent post from Val Kovalin..We authors should be grateful we are getting reviewed at all.
Oh my! All that smoldering. I think he stare just singed the feathers of my parakeets.
I always wonder with the unsmiling, smoldering types what they would look like smiling. Do he have front teeth?
Mayhem on a high moral pedestal.

Wow, new levels of photoshopped hair for smoldering guy! Very impressive!

Thank you!
For my next business venture, I shall lure the guys from the gym into a photoshoot and pay them in vodka, just to have some different faces for covers.
