Today's Friday Five features five "secrets" from Charlotte Bennardo and Natalie Zaman about the cover of their latest book, Blonde Ops.
Five Secrets about the Blonde Ops Cover by Charlotte Bennardo and Natalie Zaman
1. That’s NOT the original cover… The first cover was nice… but not as great as this one! We’ve had a lot of feedback from people that they LOVE the cover and it made them want the book.
2. In our draft of the manuscript, Dante’s Vespa was neon green. But when we saw the cover, we changed the novel to reflect the banana yellow color so it would be consistent. (Don’t you find it irritating when the cover contradicts the story?)
3. Purely by coincidence (maybe) our first book, Sirenz, featured two frenemies who fought over a pair of designer red shoes…that look strikingly similar to the red pumps on the cover of Blonde OPS. (Different characters, storyline, and publishers… And we didn’t ask for it.)
4. Girls have said they love the dress, but we don’t know who the designer is. Sorry.
5. Many roads in Rome are cobblestone (it’s an old city!) and very narrow, so Vespas and walking are the best ways to get around.
