Okay, I’m mildly nervous that the intensity of my last post scared everyone off. So today I will not be discussing in-depth craft issues or POV or whatever. Today we will be oohing and ahhing over people’s new book covers.
Gena appears to be a little obsessed with this cover at present, with good reason. It’s gorgeous… a real departure for a paranormal romance cover, but one I’m sure is going to leap off the shelves (and over tall buildings) and right into readers’ hands. Course, her name should be bigger. Right, Julie? 😉
Gena, is this book taking place in the near-future? There’s this kind of X Men/Aeon Flux element to the cover. Either way, it’s totally awesome. I love the look on the heroine’s face. She’s so kickass. Oooh. Ahhh.
And here we have the cover for the next Scott Westerfeld book, the conclusion of his “Uglies” Trilogy. This one’s coming out in hardback folks. I adore it. How gorgeous! Of course, if you have read UGLIES and especially if you have read PRETTIES, you realize how appropriate this is. Oooh. Ahhhh.
The series must be doing very well for Simon and Schuster to make the leap into hardcover halfway through. Go, Scott! Also, he was quoted in the New York Times last week in an interview about that face-transplant woman. I love it, novelists being consulted as experts in plastic surgery. I am ready for my Secret Society articles any time, New York Times…
Speaking of, in case we haven’t got enough of it… look at my cover! Ooooh. Ahhhh. Hey, did you hear that this book is available for pre-order on Amazon? Ooooh. Ahhhh.
