Mely: Feel free. I have fulfilled my yearly quota of photoshopping!

You should switch the positions of your name and the title, so that the bigger of the two is given extra weight by the girl’s outstretched arms, like it is in the original one.

I would love to read a thriller you had written. The mind boggles!

I dunno… it kind of feels like I should be writing thrillers. Scott Turow, Robert Ludlum, that sort of thing.

On the bright side, it should be easy to read my name from across the room.

I know! I wish my photoshopping skills extended that far.

How does it feel to have a name that is not only short, but also so nicely balanced? Five letters followed by five letters. How pleasing will that be to the eye when it takes up half the front cover of your books?

even bigger if you could turn it sideways, don’t you think?

Now that I’ve seen how big my name can go, I’m not even the slightest bit jealous. You can keep your boring name. Larbalestier can bestride the earth* like a colossus!

*Or, you know, the front of a book.

Two words for you:

As Bob Silverberg once said to me, “You know, kid, you’re lucky you’ve only got seven letters in your name.”
