When you're on a good thing, stick to it:)Remember how a while back, Glenda Larke and I were chortling over the use of the same pole dancer on the covers of our Russian editions... Well, it got me thinking... Russians aren't the only ones who get a bright idea and like to run with it....
Fortunately, both Trudi and Karen have large enough fan bases that their readers know their names, so the covers shouldn't make the slightest difference to their sales. Wouldn't like to be the non-fantasy-reading boyfriend sent off to the bookstore to buy the book for his beloved, however, who, when he forgets the author's name, can only tell the bookseller... "she wants the book with the wizard on the cover with the shiny light... it's blue and white... you can't miss it..." LOL UPDATE: A reader just emailed me this photo:
That's two different publishers (HarperCollins and Doubleday) using the same stock photo a couple of years apart, I believe. Update #2 But wait... there's more

lol well they are all about the sheep/swineherder that is to save the world aren't they? why shouldn't the cover be the same...
so if the covers are the same does that make them easier to judge? sorry I'll stop now...
I would be more worried about sending my non-fantasy-reading boyfriend to buy the book with the pole dancer on the cover. It might bring up some interesting questions...
What gets me thinking...why use the same memorable image twice? Monetary concerns? Surely the cover budget allows for the purchase of a photographer or photoshop artist for the afternoon...
Still, this is nearly as amusing as the cover art woman with three hands. :)
No swineherders in my books, Little Fox. Well, except for that little blink-and-you'd-miss-it satisfying poke at the cliche in Age of the Five.
What??? No swineheards???
Next you'll be telling me there's no evil overlord! Shame on you, Trudi!
