Hi everyone, long-time lurker here, finally signed up, then took another month to come up with something witty/amusing/interesting to say.

Well, I got these two delivered this morning. Both same publisher (Torc):

A cleavage so good, they used it twice!

(Not that the covers make a lot of sense anyway, but that is often the case...)

Hi, glad you decided to de-lurk and join the conversation

Very funny that they came together and are covers for the same author. You're right, they seem to have nothing to do with the books. Assuming Eleanor of Aquitaine is the queen in question, that certainly isn't Middle Ages, much less "queenly"!

Welcome, great catch.

Yep - Eleanor the Queen is about Eleanor of Aquitaine (and only 240 pages long, so I'm curious to see how that pans out), and The Lute Player is about Richard the Lionheart on crusade! So the covers really make no sense.

How funny - and incredible that the publisher thinks no one will notice!

The title of the one on the left... I'm intrigued, but I'm not sure I really want to know.

And I my old copy of the Lute Player has that cover, I don't get the connection. The re-issue cover is so much better.

Those Norah Lofts covers are terrible. As in it's actually quite a nice cover, but they don't match the subject matter, and to do two from the obviously same photoshoot is nuts.

This cover image was also used for Valerie Anand's novel House of Lanyon
