  4. This was the proposed cover at the time this blog entry was made. Please note the date of the entry. I am not in the habit of going back over old blog entries, updating them whenever there is a change.

  6. It was different because after discussion the publisher had other ideas of what the cover should be. Covers do go through a process of development. With this, it was later decided to go for something totally different, which it was felt was better than the cover originally proposed.
