Steve, they only used the book cover image in the print edition.
Don't know why, I'm just a lowly writer, I don't make editorial decisions.
We should all thank the Reporter!
Though I do other stories, of course, they let me cover DS to my heart's content!
Whenever I propose a new DS story, Roberto, my editor, always says, "sure, go for it! Have a ball!"
I had a story on Lara's book last week and a review of Marie Wallace's book last Fall.
My very first piece for them, 3 1/2 years ago, was on dear Craig Hamrick's book Big Lou.
I raise my glass and tip my hat to Bay Area Reporter!
