It's all Sword and no Sorcery.

The pithiest, most insightful thing I said this past weekend:"It's all Sword and no Sorcery."At the time, I was reviewing cover concept sketches with artist Jamie Stubkjaer for an eBook bundle of my non-shared world heroic fantasy stories. (Title: THE PLAGUE KNIGHT AND OTHER STORIES, coming soon to the Amazon Kindle Store.) One good thing about self-publishing is that you of necessity learn things you didn't know before. In this case, working with Jamie (and Elaine Polk before her) has deepened my understanding of what makes a good cover.
