Are Science-Fiction and Fantasy Book Covers Important?

As I ease myself back into creative writing mode after a busy few months editing, reviewing, beta reading and moving house (yes, again), I thought I'd offer up another flashback piece for today: this one appeared on Fantasy Faction a while ago.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about
I've been thinking a lot lately about great cover art, mainly because I've seen a resurgence of fantastic book covers in recent months.

Yet, while this is tremendously heartening - especially for someone who still dreams of having his very own in that long-off magical place of 'one day' - I still think this article rings true.

The work of great artists can move, inspire, transform, and even save us. Let's make sure this wonderful aspect of the book world keeps going strong.
