Kenji Wrote:A few weeks ago, I received email from Thomas Monteleone of Borderlands Press. He asked me about Japanese title of "Black Wind". You know it's "Kuroi Kaze". So I built Japanese characters by paint, and I sent it to him.
Now, finally, the cover design has finished. This is it!

I checked it, but...... Second character's position is a wrong. It need to turn 90 degree left!
I'm not sure it's intentionally or typo....well, but it's cool.

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Millions in a law suit, maybe. How could Paul hold his head up at the many conventions he attends with such a cover disfiguring his work? His peers snickering behind his back... And when the strong wine flows in the shank of the evening, laughing aloud in his face? Oh, the embarassment, oh, the despair!
Biggles Wrote:Come on, Paul's peers will never snicker at him. They ENVY him! Even Steven King and Dean Koontz don't have a "cult"! You should have been at GU3. His fellow authors were mostly talking to us (Paul's "posse") at the breakout sessions. Everywhere Paul went he was followed by us acolytes. You tell 'im, brethren and sistern who were there!

Kenji Wrote:I sent email to Mr. Monteleone about it, but no reply.....
I'm really worrying about it.
