I LOVE it, Ellen!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! With a cover like that (not to mention the writing), this book is going to fly off the shelves!
ReplyDeleteThanks, my friends! As you know, I was resistant to the pink at first, but it's grown on me. I really like it!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Glad to see(and hear)that good things are happening for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, jn! Whoever you are, I've always depended upon the kindness of strangers.
ReplyDeleteI love the pink, Ellen. I think it looks great overall!
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo cool, and so eye-catching! And I'm so glad I can post now!
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks great!!! Do you know who the designer is? And I like the pink too.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Kitchy, eye-catching and fun.
ReplyDeleteSusan, Liz, Steph and Tish ... appreciate the support! So happy you stopped by.
ReplyDeleteSteph - I think it was designed by someone in house at Morrow. I'll try to find out for sure. Pretty sure the illustrator is freelance and lives in the U.K.
Fun cover, Ellen. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like there's a comic book revival right now. Stephen King is doing Dark Tower with Marvel Comics, for instance. Comic book themes keep popping up lately. Very retro and campy.
I think it's clear you should feather your bangs like Madonna for the tour!
Best of luck!
Congrats, Ellen. This makes it all real. Wow! I can only imagine how cool it must feel to finally see the book jacket.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like Desperite Housewives.

Love the cover, Ellen! I can't wait to see it in person!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin, Julie and Kat!
ReplyDeleteRobin, did you see the cover of Maureen Dowd's new book? It uses the kind of kitchy artwork that looks like something that would have illustrated a short story in a women's magazine from the 50s. I think you're right--there's a movement afoot!
Wow, it's great. I had a good laugh over the title, too. So many books I need to read . . . and here I sit watching Funny Farm. :~)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Ellen! Cool, campy, ironic and eye-catching all rolled into one. Reminds me of the old Brenda Starr Reporter comics: http://www.comicspage.com/brendastarr/brenda_characters.html
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, pop art!
Yes, yes, yes, very fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLeslie and Kathryn, thanks for the vote of confidence!
ReplyDeleteRobin, hope you enjoyed Funny Farm. :)
