None of them was set in southern Arizona or northern Mexico. False advertising, I tell you!

(That makes me sound like the Great Dane I used to have who ate several of my books. lol) Actually, I think I want to read this whole series.<br /><br />I wish I could remember covers with saguaros on them but I can't. Dave loves saguaros. I love it when the cover of a book actually has something to do with the setting of the story.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179027379034179865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-38258252282081731892012-07-25T00:41:02.986-07:002012-07-25T00:41:02.986-07:00You've got a good point there, Stephanie! ;-)...You've got a good point there, Stephanie! ;-) I can't say that I pay no attention to book covers at all; I'm slowly (glacially so) working on a post about the misuse of saguaros on book covers. There seem to be publishers who believe that it's perfectly all right to use saguaros on the cover of any book that is set in a desert. For that to be true, the books have to be set in the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona and northern Mexico. Not that I'm picky or anything-- the saguaros are the choosy ones!
