I'm torn over which characters to portray on the cover of book 5. Which character would you most like to see on the cover of 'Deathsworn Arc 5: The Temple of the Mad God'?
Whoever has the biggest part to play :)
(write-in)
Maven Stonecutter (A larger than life, hammer wielding woman.)
Fox Fletcher (The girl from Berman's Rock) (Young girl from a fairly poor village who gets caught up in the story)
After reading your mail again Martyn I've changed my vote to Votrex

Vashni the elf girl

Thanks for voting everyone! :) Food for thought definitely! The most logical character to feature WITH Fox would be Vexis, and that might mean giving Vexis two covers in row. Korhan will probably feature on Book 6: Emergence, perhaps with Vashni. Does that help you decide?

Well, I love Vashni, but she's been the cover girl twice now, so I'm going with the character with the most significant part to play.

Yay! Thank you for the teaser... I'm even more excited to read it now.
Well you've got book 5 to come first! If I can finish it! I'm writing a part I've been planning for literally months at the moment. Hoepfully it should get easier from this point because I'll be back to covering only 4 separate stories. Recently it'd actually extended briefly to 5! After this section, I'm either going back to Vashni, or the Companions (What's left of them!) then I guess It'll be back to Briem!

Problem is, any fantasy book with a lady in a bikini-like getup on the cover is going to get characterized as a certain type of book. The wtfbadfantasycovers blog ( http://wtfbadfantasycovers.tumblr.com/ ) has a large category called Bikini Girl Thursday. :-P
Haha! Context Keith! Sometimes there's more to an image than meets the eye. The 3rd book doesn't fall within the stereotype of bikini-clad heroines. However, you raise a valid point! I suppose I'm glad book 3 is the only instance I can foresee of having a scantily clad woman on one of my actually quite feminist fantasy books!
