I am curious as to how much input you have in selecting a cover or a title for your books? I have read several and really enjoyed them.
Joseph Finder
Choosing a title is usually one of the last things I do before I submit my manuscript to my publishers, although the manuscript file always has a working title while I'm writing. On a couple of occasions, the title I wanted was too close to another, similar book being released around the same time, so I had to come up with an alternative, but the title is still my own choice.
Covers are designed by the publishers' artists, but my US publishers always ask me for feedback, and sometimes give me choices about color schemes, key images, etc. I don't usually see the foreign covers before those books are published. I always love seeing what different artists and designers come up with.

As you do such incredible in-depth research into technology and corporate law and government insider info....have you kept a log of how much time spent on research overall? Having read all your books so far, I would guess it to be thousands of hours, including travel time.
