Coincidence? Maggie Shayne

Nobody has blogged yet for Saturday--we have a lot going on. Some bloggers are at NINC, one is in the hospital, but we hear doing fine, and another is having computer problems. So once again, I'm jumping in with something I hope you find interesting.

Here is the new cover art for the reissue of two of my immortal Witch books from Berkley, ETERNITY and INFINITY. (This comes out in November in trade size.) I adore the cover art--doesn't the model look like Liv Tyler?--but it looked awfully similar to some of my MIRA reissues. I checked just to be sure I wasn't imagining it, and here you go.
This is the cover art for the reissue of two of my vampire novels from MIRA, also done in trade size. It was released in 2002. We're thinking the two were done by the same artist.

I love that the artist's vision of my work and my covers is so consistent, and I love that's it such a romantic and beautiful vision, because it's one I absolutely love. It's kind of how I envision it myself, actually. So the artist is right on the money here. However, we don't want to confuse the readers, and Berkley is a fabulously above board company, so they're going back to work on the cover to make it more distinctly different from the earlier one. I'm sure I'll still love it.

But I found the whole thing very very interesting and being the kind of "woo-woo" person I am, I'm now wondering if there's something about the art, or the artist, that carries a message of some sort that I'm supposed to be getting.

I'm open to ideas. And I'll post the real, final cover when it arrives.
