Authors in general, unless they are megablockbuster authors, have little say over cover art. If an author has cover veto, they are either up there in the GRRMartin levels of sales, or they are self published and had to commission their own art. Even then, the smart vanity publishing authors do their best to ape the current mainstream cover art trends.

As much as I hate current cover art trends, it is one area where publishers do seem to know their market. There was an apocryphal story from the old days of the romance genre where the cover art trend was for a spooky house with one lit window, a curtain in the breeze, and a rose on the cover somewhere, and the artist forgot to put the curtain blowing in the breeze on an otherwise best selling author's new book, and the publisher lost about a huge number of sales. If they think dogawful blob art is selling them books, then I guess we just have to go with that.
