Patricia Burroughs asked Ashlyn Macnamara:

Did you have any input on the design of your book covers--specifically, the focus on 'a most interesting' part of the hero's anatomy? They've caused many a young lady to swoon!

Ashlyn Macnamara I have a clause in my contract giving me cover approval, but I don't have a lot to do with the original concept. The butt covers started with my second book, after I had what I call a prom dress cover on the first one. They sent me the mock-up of the second cover, I drooled all over my keyboard, and I said, "Yes, please." So we've just kept going in that direction.

I will say I've got a new series coming out in September that has nothing to do with my Regencies. It's fantasy, along the lines of Game of Thrones, only with more romance and less disembowelment. They're putting the heroines on the covers of those books. I am hoping to be able to reveal the first one soon. I really like where they're going with this.
