In the words of Mr. Konrath:
It’s no secret that people judge books by their covers. The cover is the first thing a potential buyer sees, and if it is eye-catching, provocative, interesting, or compelling, it gets the reader to take a closer look.
Oh yeah, Konrath slipped these babies into a post which was ostensibly about Stephen King’s questionable decision not to release an ebook version of his upcoming Hard Case Crime novel Joyland.
