Travis Thrasher's "Sky Blue" has a really nice cover on it as well.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629937361001985675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34973391.post-67098958618267610172007-08-12T15:38:00.000+10:002007-08-12T15:38:00.000+10:00Thanks Fi :) Not sure why you couldn't type more ...Thanks Fi :) Not sure why you couldn't type more - it should let you! Crickets is a good cover as is his new one, Chasing Fireflies. You will love Happily Ever After and the rest of that series. I'll put the hard word on David when Christmas rolls around - LOL!<BR/><BR/>Other covers I like are Tom Morrisey's Deep Blue, Tamara Leigh's Splitting Harriet and Chuck holton's Allah's Fire for a start!Relhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857426893482706263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34973391.post-59449233304230915722007-08-12T15:28:00.000+10:002007-08-12T15:28:00.000+10:00Oh and by the way, love the changes to your blog. ...Oh and by the way, love the changes to your blog.
