The New York Daily News reported that two paintings found in a townhouse apparently used as a love nest by deposed Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein were fantasy book covers by Rowena. According to the report, Rowena found out about the paintings when her sister called to tell her she'd seen them in a news story. They were originally painted as book covers for King Dragon and Shadows Out of Hell, fantasy paperbacks published in the 80s. Both paintings were sold years ago, King Dragon to a Japanese collector for $20,000. Rowena told the reporter she hadn't heard anything about either painting since she sold them, but that she'd like them back now. The paintings belong to the yet-to-be-formed successor government of Iraq.
