As for the red, white and black colour scheme, I find it hilarious/disappointing that people don't realise those colours have been used together long before the the Twilight books ever existed! Sucks to be Edward.<br />Does the first 'Finding Lost' book combine the first two seasons? Also, I've noticed some online shops are selling a 'Finding Lost - 2 pack' Do you have any idea what books that would include? You have a real eye for detail. Keep up the great work. I'll be buying your books soon. ThanksChristiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-1997889697451056302010-02-27T09:17:55.451-05:002010-02-27T09:17:55.451-05:00I love it!

Of course, it's not like any of us can figure out what side is actually white at this point!! ;) <br /><br />And to everyone talking about Twilight (UGH)... one of the things I'd said to my editor early on was, "I want black and white, and maybe some red, but it can't -- CAN'T -- look anything like the Breaking Dawn cover." And we had that in our minds the entire time. If I thought this looked like a rip-off of that cover (and I notice the only person who came right out and said that was anonymous... once again, showing such courage...) I wouldn't go for it, especially knowing how much I hate those books. <br /><br />Breaking Dawn had one white queen in the foreground. The chessboard fades off the page, where you can see our entire one. I'd had an idea right from the beginning of the Finding Lost series that the last one would have a chessboard on it (way before Breaking Dawn was even written, much less had a cover to it) and this one encapsulates the idea of Lost perfectly, in my mind. <br /><br />And really... do you honestly think someone is going to pick up a book that's called Finding Lost, turn it over and see it's all about a show on LOST and say, "Gee... I wonder if this is the new book from Stephenie Meyer? I will have to go read it. I hope Edward's back in a big way." If they're really "tricked" into buying my book, then... they kinda deserve it. <br /><br />I think Barry's done a brilliant job, and I'm glad that the vast majority of you think so, too! :)Nikki Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463618183850438914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-48857496102327885592010-02-26T01:22:35.014-05:002010-02-26T01:22:35.014-05:00I really like your cover, Nikki, but I'm a big...I really like your cover, Nikki, but I'm a big fan of the Twilight Series, so I can't for the life of me figure out why you would want to look ANYTHING like that, since the black/white/red theme was used in all 4 books, and since the gist I've gotten from you is you dont like anything Twilight. But I think it's neat, and I like the red gliphs around the outside of the chess board. But I can't, for the life of me, find those numbers!<br />I'll have to try a different computer!crazyinlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244716189842389576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-75986603235864202882010-02-25T18:03:10.888-05:002010-02-25T18:03:10.888-05:00Fantastic!

I know that backgammon has been the game mentioned on the show, but if this really is a game, it is much more like chess then backgammon. And having the two kings face off like that is awesome! Someone mentioned that it was too simple or too generic, but I'm of the opinion that less is more! Too much stuff on the cover would ruin it.
