Frost Gets Burnt by St. Martin’s

An interesting story over at one of our sister sites, Galleycat, about novelist James Bernard Frost fighting his publisher, St. Martin’s Press, over the cover they designed for his debut novel. Here’s some:

“The novel is set on Earth and is about computer gamers,” Frost lamented on his blog. “Why have a sci-fi cover on a book that isn’t sci-fi?” Once it became clear that their decision was final, Frost decided to take matters into his own hands, hiring artist Dave Warnke to create a vinyl sticker to slap on the trade paperback (right).
