we have what I remember an editor from Nightshade saying "..Jeremy said it "sold to expectation," that he's already contracted for Volumes 2 and 3, and that based on the authors already accepted for Volume 2, there will be multiple women on the cover (I forget how many)."


It's just too damn bad woman can't write a decent SF story, innit?

Gah.

Alas, I can't read the ktempest post, which is too bad, because I bet she's got some good commentary.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? FOR REAL? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I *totally* remember him saying that in the panel at WisCon.

my recollection of what he said about the eclipse 2 cover was that applying the same methodology had worked out so that there would be multiple women on the cover this time. i don't think he gave a number. i don't know how you could have multiple women on the cover when there's only one woman in the book--time travel, perhaps?

ETA: here--i mentioned that comment here:
