Does he have FTW tattooed on himself there? Like, “This book cover FOR THE WIN!”? Not so much?
In addition to wondering why he’s staring down his pants with such a puzzled look, I’m also trying to figure out what she’s got on her eyes. I guess those are goggles?
Ok—I have thoughts. First, this book is dedicated to me (it is, I promise—go look at the dedication page, I’ll wait), so you understand I’m invested. Second, FTW stands for “F*ck the World.” Third, it’s a really good book. Fourth, Kati Wilde designed that cover. Fifth, the cover model is my alternate universe boyfriend, Zack Salaun, “King of the soulful-sexy-scruffy-hot look” (copyright: DiscoDollyDeb), and I believe that pose is generally known in the cover model world as the “oiled up look down.” Finally, I apparently know waaaay too much about covers.
For bikers, FTW means Forever Two Wheels, which fits since it’s a motorcycle club book. However, I’ve never seen a biker with that font for a tat.
Curiously, I had thought that the letters were reversed from the more usual WTF! Thanks for sharing the info about ‘your book’, @DDD.
