CHRISTINA DODD unCOVERS THE VERY BEST OF THE WORST
The advantage of having the most famous cover mistake in history (CASTLES IN THE AIR, the heroine has three arms, and if you want to know how this happened, read my article at http://christinadodd.com/castles.html is that when another author gets socked with a bad cover, everyone — booksellers, authors, readers — rushes to tell me about it. Now I’m not talking about bad covers from publishing companies who are working on a shoestring budget. I’m talking about covers that come from multi-billion dollar corporations with professional art departments operating with huge budgets who put out hundreds of different titles a year … and who just happen to blow it once in awhile.
For instance, here’s my friend Heather MacAllister’s alien baby cover. 
And her one-legged heroine cover.
My friend Susan Mallery, who used to write as Susan Macias, has had a few whoppers, too, notably FIRE IN THE DARK, her western historical with the naked rubber man in the water with, if you look closely, a floating orange penis. I was with her when she got the cover in the mail … I’ll never forget her outburst of maniacal laughter. It was sort of scary.
Speaking of weird penises, let’s look closely at Elizabeth Bevarly’s SNAKES ON A PLANE cover. One word of advice to the heroine...RUN!!! 
How about Suzanne Brockmann’s famous Pillsbury Doughboy? 
But the cover I’ve been saving as the piece de resistance is a book by Maggie Price.
Take a look at this. Check out the expression on his face. Then note the title …BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

What about this guy on STORM OF VISIONS? Is there anything wrong with him? I don’t think so, and I’ve looked. Repeatedly. Let me know if you find anything missing ... or extra.
