Cover Art

I just thought this blog was missing something, and artwork seemed like that something. And what better and more fitting artwork than the Dorkman cover to be the first piece to grace the blog?

Regarding the cover, here are a few other FAQs that we received at the Decatur Book Fair and that I've heard since:

1) Is the guy on the cover Dorkman?

2) Is Dorkman a superhero?

To those questions, a simple "no" will suffice.

3) Is Dorkman pronounced "Dork-MAN," with the accent on the "MAN" part, or is it pronounced "DORK-man," with the "DORK" sounding more prominent?

This question is best left up to the reader and however one wishes to interpret it. Of course, there is a right answer. It's just that nobody needs to know it to enjoy the book. Pronounce it however you wish. Just know that you could very well be wrong.

I will say that it's interesting, and ironic really, that everyone asks if Dorkman's a superhero - and he's not - yet no one asks Ken or me if we're superheroes in real life using the author personnas as our secret identities. Go figure.
