That's a new one.
Context time.
I was playing helldivers earlier with some friends. Occasionally, one of their nephews joins us. Kid's in his early 20's, and is a decent enough guy. So as we're playing, we're catching up, and he asks how I've been doing. Been a while, so I told him about my book getting published. He says that's badass, and to send him a link. I've only ever talked to him on the PSN party chat, so my buddy had to send it. We finish the mission, and I guess he checked his messages because I hear him suddenly say, 'Man, this cover fucks.' Then he got quiet again before coming back on saying he read the back text and it sounds really interesting. And then, 'Okay, I just bought it.'
I wonder what my artist would say about that compliment on her drawing?
Of course, it's also a compliment on my design 'skills' since I pretty thoroughly transformed the original artwork.
