Ragamuffin cover spread
I got permission to show a scaled down version of the whole cover spread of Ragamuffin to you guys.
The uber-cool art by Todd Lockwood is still center stage, and on the right you can see the cover text with the bullets used as a nice illustrative flourish, and the bullet motif is used again on the spine, which is really nifty. Jamie Stafford Hill is the person responsible for putting all these elements together as the cover designer, and I think Jamie did a pretty awesome job.
The black area on the left cover flap is used to quote all the awesome praise Crystal Rain got. Sweetness.
There are a few typos in the text, but you shouldn’t be able to read anything there on this small a scale 
And they’ll be gone by next round.

“The black area on the left cover flap is used to quote all the awesome praise Crystal Rain got.”
I don’t think it’s big enough. To paraphrase Chief Brody, “You’re going to need a bigger black space.”

Sorry, Sheriff Brody (Roy Scheider).
