Reading and Writing Miscellany

An amazing quote to go in this space, or mistakes happen

I was out on Goodreads earlier today when an exceptionally done cover caught my eye. Here it is at the size I first saw it at:

I don't know about you, but I want to click-through on this cover. I did, which brought me to this:

Notice anything kind of… odd?

Looks like someone put this cover out before it was quite ready for primetime (kind of like a certain Raymond E. Feist novel).

Here's the above cover again, this time taken from Amazon.com:

Looks like they at least got this one right… or not.

The first image says at the top "…the Rasenna Trilogy". The second, "…the Wave Trilogy". Your guess is as good as mine as to which is right.

All this being said, hey, mistakes happen—spelling errors, typos, mistakes in grammar, cover goofs. But it's somewhat reassuring to know that even the big traditional publishers make them, too.


Indulge in fantastic tales of sword, sorcery, and alchemy today by joining thousands of readers like yourself who can't get enough of Scott Marlowe's "intense" storytelling and "skillfully written" adventures. You'll get two free stories, The Hall of Riddles and The Assassin's Dilemma, plus an original short story set in my world delivered to you each and every month.
