Rejected Cover: Houseboat

March 20, 2009

This one didn't quite make it onto the cover of the book, but it was a close contender. I was enthralled by the story of houseboat residents cutting ropes to set each other adrift and committing other acts of sabotage to get the best position along the shoreline.

This looks like a sturdy, no nonsense group -- they run a tight ship, laundry's done and the ladies (at least) are trim and tidy.
