At least they got the coloring right on my hero and heroine. I was intrigued by my Estonian editions, because they had footnotes added, explaining things like "Cracker" and "Second Seminole War". I like running my foreign reviews through the Google translator. It makes for entertaining reading.[g] Oooh, I feel your pain! At least they got the coloring right on my hero and heroine.

The cover they gave it blew me away. The man and woman on the cover have no resemblance whatsoever to my characters. They are sitting on a picnic blanket with paint cans nearby. No painting or picnics occur in my book. In short, the cover looks nothing like my story. Nada. They just took some random cover and stuck it on there. And to top it off, they changed the hero's name from Wade to Garth..... My first book, a Silhouette Special Edition, was translated into German. The cover they gave it blew me away.
