Playing For Keeps coverHere is the cover of the Swarm Press version of Playing For Keeps! I did love the hard work that JR Blackwell, Jared Axelrod and JC Hutchins put into the podcast cover, but the publisher wanted a new look, and I’m completely mad about this one. I love the hero metaphor, I love the female take on the classic pose, and as most of you probably can guess, I’m thrilled with the fact that it’s a realistic woman with no cleavage bustin’ out. We all know if Keepsie did wear a hero suit, it would cover the ladies.

August 25. We’re getting closer.

    Awesome cover Mur. The 25th? Well the 18th is my B-Day so it’ll be a late present to myself. 31 this year and still loving superhero’s just as much as when I was 12. I can’t wait to add Keeps to my collection.

    The ONLY thing that cover is missing is an inexplicable silver sphere at the bottom. Otherwise it is abso-fuckin’-lutely perfect. Push your publisher to get some store distribution for that bad boy. It was made to catch eyes from shelves.

    The cover looks fantastic!!! Any word on how we in the UK will be able to get hold of the book? I’m guessing Amazon, but will it be available directly from Swarm too? Best of luck with it Mur- you’re an inspiration. Now, back to writing chapter five…

    Playing for Keeps rocks,
    I’m uber excited about Mur getting her book into hard cover &as awesome as the PDF art work was. This cover’s just perfect. Wow, it really seems to capture the feeling over the novel. I’d love to see the cover changed into a shirt. Like the dual layer style with a light kinda tight satin top &the key portion stitched under as a cotton layer.

    The coolest part about this cover is its actually sexy. uberCongrats Mur. I can’t wait to see this cover on amazon’s front page.

    Though I’ll constantly keep hoping to see The Heaven series in hard back. Season 4 might have been the most fun; but Season 3 was the most moving &truly. It just felt powerful.

    You keep amazing &inspiring me. Maybe someday I may just shock you. LOLz. *uberAwesome*.

    Great looking cover, Mur. I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on the book. August 25th can’t come soon enough

    Very cool. And yeah, love the cover. Glad it’s not one of the standard “She turned. A moment later, her ample bosom followed” women in comics.

    The cover rocks like the Shenandoah Valley! :) Seriously, sweet look for PFK 2.0!
