No Wake Zone, that is. Not that it was an easy process. With Last Exit, I pulled my old Dodge onto the Parkway at 3 a.m., aimed the camera forward and took a few shots, along with one of the sign on the side of the road. A little tweaking with Photoshop, and there it was — my cover.
And when the folks at Thomas & Mercer came up with their version, they wanted to bring in the nautical elements of the story, which my version completely lacked. I think they captured it perfectly.
But this time around things weren't so simple. First off, with a marketing team involved, there were an abundance of ideas, and even more opinions. Every time someone came up with something that some of us liked, others wanted something "MORE!" And while the final result might not seem to tie in with the title, it ties in perfectly with the story, and that's what grabbed me.
This is it. What's the verdict?
