In the “every cloud has a silver lining” department, my publisher has decided that the crisis in Ukraine might spark some interest in my cold-war psychic-espionage classical-music novel Summit, which has nothing to do with Ukraine but does include several Russian bad guys and a beautiful Russian heroine. Previously they ditched its original cover because they thought the hammer-and-sickle motif was outdated; now they have decided it’s just fine. So here’s our latest cover:
I should also add that the novel is well worth the measly three bucks we’re charging for it.

I did not! U-Who? What are you talking about? Never mind; forget I asked! I had nothing to do with whatever happened! No way of knowing anything about it! I was posting an innocuous letter the entire time! I know nothing; this is easily proven! 🙂 !!

I like it, but then I also liked the original cover with Valentina’s front facing head shot.
