Finally . . . a good use for black face

Categories: Uncategorized

I just got the cover for the hardcover Valentine’s Day I’m in with Sandra Kitt and Celeste Norfleet. I think it’s really classy, but the guy does happen to be, well, white. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I’m told he will be darkened up a bit for the final cover. That makes me wonder how much of this lightening/darkening goes on to make models appropriate for a particular publisher.

I guess that falls under the category of things that make you go hmmm.

A lot of darkening and lightening up goes on. I see a lot of covers as they go through the process.

Peace
