AFS for CIHRB
Ha! How's that for some fancy abbreviating? *g*
Translated, that would be the Art Fact Sheet for CHRISTMAS IN HIS ROYAL BED, which is what I spent much of my time working on this weekend.
I try to be good, I really do. As soon as I have a story plotted out & have a pretty good idea of what's going to be happening in the book, I start filling out the AFS. Less work later for both myself and my editor's assistant who has to make sure all of these things are done on time.
But, alas, even though I start the darn things ahead of time, I rarely remember to actually finish them before the assistant calls or e-mails & says they're due the following week. Sigh.
That's what happened again last week. I'd put in all the information for the characters' appearances...hair colors, eye colors, occupations, etc., but I'd stopped before it came time to describe actualy scenes from the story that might lend themselves to decent cover art. Probably because I hadn't actually written them at the time & I didn't know what might pop up. (See, that sounds entirely logical, doesn't it?!?)
So that's what I was scrambling to take care of over the weekend. I think I came up with some good ones, tho. And the truth is, the art department doesn't always use my ideas, anyway, so I may have wracked my brain for nothing.
Whatever I end up with, though, I'm guessing it will be good. :-D I've been exceptionally pleased with all of my Desire covers so far, and I don't expect Harlequin to start dropping the ball now.
