I am experiencing some technical issues (and a bout of bad health), so I’m not doing much these days. I’m falling behind with my writing and with my post, and everything else. But I was browsing some old paperback art and I happened to spot this picture…
… and I thought, wow, that’s a story I’d like to write.
Turns out this is a Robert Maguire cover for a novel called The Deadly Lady of Madagascar, bt Frank G. Slaughter (nice name for someone writing about deadly ladies) that I will try and find somehow.
If I can’t write it, I can certainly read it.
But as I was at it I found a selection of beautiful Robert Maguire art, and so here’s a gallery (you can click on the images to see the full-size picture)…

If you like Maguire, you should also check out Roger McGinnis. Back in the day, I would get them confused due to similarities of name and style.

I have a true veneration for McGinnis, and indeed his covers were one of the things that started me writing. I wanted to write the sort of book that could have a McGinnis cover.

Oops! Not only did I get McGinnis’ given name wrong, I just noticed in “Related Posts” that you did a McGinnis post awhile back.
In my defense, I see “Roger McGinnis” on the net all the time. It’s corrupting my memory. Just like how I now occassionally catch myself typing an apostrophe for a plural, something I never did 10-20 years ago.
And so we spiral downwards…

Wow, I just got this paperback a couple of weeks ago and stumbled upon this by random. I really liked the art, so glad to know who this is now, thanks!

Well, it was through a library sale, so I ended up with quite a haul (123!!!) and haven’t read yet. But I’ll be sure to report back here when I do!
