Ladies and gentlemen and writers of all ages...






In which the artist takes all the elements of the scene and 'sees' it drastically different than I did...and makes me like it.


(note the vine leaves curling around the bottom corner, as though stroking Jerzy's sleeve. This touch pleases me beyond belief. Enough to make up for the fact that he's shown as blond and pale, not fox-red and tanned. Oh well.)

Wow, that's a strong image. Very character focused.

Is it the same artist for all three books?

And I admit, I love reading on my Kindle, but one advantage to books (especially nice and large HC and TPB, is that sometimes, you want to have that art. Like this. )

The use of light really draws the eye - I think it'll really pop.

As a cover and marketing device (and piece of art), I think it's gorgeous. Question: Based on your comment, I wonder if you feel like he's been whitewashed.

Oh. I'm supposed to be articulate in some form or another?

I rather like it. I want the book behind it... like yesterday. Of course. When do we EVER want stuff "later"? (laugh)

As to the art, I quite like it. As you say, not quite your guy, but it's lovely to look at as IS. And it has your name across it in big letters. So what's not to love, right?

There are very few covers that rekindle my love with fantasy art, but this one definitely does. Congrats!

Very nice!

One of my reviewers has already called dibs on it.
