Originally this book was titled A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN, but six months or so after I started submitting it, I noticed another book by that title and had to come up with a new one. Glad you like this one! It ended up working better with the book's premise anyway.<BR/><BR/>~Bullet Hole~Kathy Bacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549844839816876766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-27001365053321653002007-11-15T18:55:00.000-06:002007-11-15T18:55:00.000-06:00It is an eye-catcher.

I do know the production department was going for the concept of making the book look like the novelty gag gift kit which really is a self-help item so the self-help concept seems to be working.

The summary would hook me and make me want to buy the book. <BR/><BR/>I don't really like cartoon covers normally but this one works. I'm really interested now since reading the blurb.
