I'm highly offended that you would put such an obvious tribute to Microsoft on the front of your book.

Let's face it:

That's a woman pounding a way on a horse shoe. Horse shoes go on horses to protect their hooves. We know that many girls and women love horses. Shoeing your own horse is a powerful expression of that love, taking time and sweat to take care of your horse. You really can't have a horse worth shoeing unless that horse has a hindquarters. And when you're talking horses' rears...

Not to mention laptops, cell phones, and an Audi R6.

Your hilarious Dino!

BTW Carla, your book is available in my country, and only 35 Euro's! A good reason to give myself a Christmas-present (Santa 'leaves' 5 December in my country, so that's too late).
