You could also try, "I know mom, but the model they had booked for the heroine canceled at the last minute and he was the only one they could call in." That would shut my mom up, lol!<br /><br />However, I have to say that although I understand that you don't approve of eye-candy-covers, I don't understand why a nekid man on the front would upset the church ladies when compared to the sex scenes inside the book. There's plenty of graphic stuff (and not just sex, murders and what-not, too) in your books that I can't understand why a six-pack would be a turn off if blood, gore and sex isn't.Mitchhttp://twitter.com/TaureanFirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-54337233912412262552009-06-04T21:48:22.714-04:002009-06-04T21:48:22.714-04:00Yay Marnie Collette!

It's really ...*hugs for the beg. of the post* <br /><br />It's really hard when you've been doing something for a while (and I do mean anything: teaching, software development, writing, editing, parenting, etc). You see and hear the same moaning and sometimes *sigh* you just want to tell some people to just shut up and color or at least get a clue. <br /><br />That's not nice, or polite. Human moments are like that though. <br /><br />Some days I'm good with the shut up and color bit...as long as it's not pink. I also need to have the freedom to color outside the lines now and again. :) Or better yet, give me a blank sketchbook and I'll be happy. <br /><br />I hope your Mom likes the cover. As far as naked torsos go, it's verra tasteful.

She's already seen naked men. <br />;)<br />A few years ago, the Public Theater put on a production of a new play titled "House of Dry Leaves" and it has a nude scene where the male protagonist undresses on stage and stands there for a good three minutes naked as a jaybird. <br />Now I started with the Theater tickets because my Mother wanted to see "Man of La Mancha" for 30 years and the plays have become my treat for her. <br />So I'm sitting there next o Mother (who is in her 80's) and a naked man onstage and she pokes me and says... "So-and-so is sitting there with the best view and it's good that she's already on oxygen in case she gets excited." <br />;)<br />Well that ended my dilemma.
