Remove Tongue From Cheek, THEN Post

In the romance eBook world, cover art is infamous for its... well, shall we say, interesting male specimens. I believe the Smart Bitches over at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books coined the term "Man Titty." Romance eBook covers overflow with abundant Man Titty. Sometimes it's computer-generated Sims-people Man Titty, which is even awesomer.

So imagine my excitement when I found in my inbox this morning my brand new cover art!

"Hooray!" I squealed, immediately quivering with anticipation at seeing my very own book covered in computer-generated Sims-people Man Titty.

Now, if you can, imagine my heartbreak at discovering, not a cover composed entirely of male pectorals, but the following:


"Oh woe!" cried I. "Oh spite! The universe doth surely hate me to deny its bountiful Man Titty... Though I suppose," I sighed, "the picture very much resembles my heroine. And, I suppose," I sighed once again, "there really isn't any Man Titty in the actual story."

I squared my shoulders, wiped away my tears, and resolved to love my (sadly lacking in Man Titty) eBook cover.

It's growing on me. What do you think?

Personally, I'm happy not to see anymore computer-generated man-titty. I mean, you've seen one, you've seen them all. Your cover is actually attractive, so dry your eyes and stop sniveling. LOL

But seriously--congrats on the lovely cover. I know how exciting it is!
