Hah. 3/5, because I included Jones and McHugh instead of Nix and Ford. I'm frankly surprised that Jones didn't make the cover; my perception of her is that she's a big enough name for that to be standard (though I may be entirely wrong). Nix, on the other hand - I like him a lot more than I do Jones, but he's an Australian YA fantasy author; I wouldn't have thought that would make him an obvious selling point for a non-Australian adult anthology with an SF-looking cover...
I nearly included Ford, but I decided that McHugh was more interesting *g*. I wish she'd publish another novel! For the record, my personal five "ooh!" choices are McHugh, Lanagan, Nix, Beagle and Sterling, in that order - with the last two more because I know they're popular among my acquaintance rather than because I am myself a massive fan.
