Personally, I love the cover of Minder, but that's an opinion not everyone shares. So, if you think something else would've been better, now's your chance to show the world!
Brandi at Blkosiner's Book Blog (she also just posted a review of Adversary) is having a cover re-creation contest. Check it out here: http://blkosiner.blogspot.com/2010/10/cover-re-creation-contest.html
How much fun is that?
Oh, and check back here tomorrow for the start of the query contest!

i loved the symbolism of the cover art chosen for minder-
but strong-shaped black and white images and patterns cause eyestrain for some people... like me...
it's the same reason it is so hard for some to read white letters on a black background on blogs... or to read on a computer monitor at all.
actually, sometimes it even triggers migraines (loss of parts of my field of vision, numbness on half my body, the loss of coherent thought, severe nausea, and a LOT of pain). that was my only complaint- and i don't think it's a problem for most- but for some of us...
i thought the concept was exceedinly clever. but the cover of accused- i can't look directly at that one for longer than thirty seconds.
I love the cover art of Minder, but, based on the comments in this contest, it seems like a lot of people don't. I console myself that, although several of the suggested cover designs in this contest are completely GAW-JUS, they wouldn't stand out on a YA bookshelf. Love them or hate them, at least the Ganzfield covers are memorable.
