Hi Bora,

I love the covers! I'm wondering why the UK needs a different cover than the US version. Are there other countries that get a unique cover? Just curious. Congrats!

I wondered the same thing, but apparently it boils down to different cultures have different tastes. Everyone is doing their best to appeal to their particular market.

I’m obsessed with some of these cover concepts! I love the one you chose but the baduk one and the ones with the soup are my next favorites.

I know, it made it hard to choose, or even wrap my head around how one even decides.

I love your father's response to the title. How special to hear those words.

Loved this. Bora. I thought your background work on the cover was fantastic. . . as was the process of development you went through with your publisher's designer. From what I have heard/experienced, you were lucky to have such a collaborative process. More often, I have heard of authors being given close to zero input in the cover art and title. Your whole writing/publishing story is inspiring. Looking forward to the book! All the best, Alice

Love this and thank you for the inside view, Bora. The covers element is especially intriguing to me. Appreciate you shared what you shared! The covers are both gorgeous.
