In Case You Missed It....

Yesterday, Tor.Com did a reveal for the cover of SILVER ON THE ROAD.

But I know some of you tend not to click through on things. So here. Let me SHOVE THE AMAZING OH MY GOD SO BEAUTIFUL UNDER YOUR NOSE.

This?  Is never the cover I would have asked for.  But it's so incredibly perfect I can't even tell you how perfect it is.  And Isobel didn't get white-washed, or turned into some delicate flower!  (blessings on my editor, the art director, and Mr. Palencar) She's frumpy and grumpy and strong in the way all frontier women (no matter the frontier) have to be, and the bones of her face were perfect, even though I'd never described her to Mr. Palencar beside the fact that she's of Spanish/Mexican descent. And for the first time ever - in over 20 book covers - I RECOGNIZED my character when she looked back at me.
*is a little weepy right now, don't mind me*

Want to know more?  For that, you are going to have to click through....

That really is beautiful. I swear I can feel the dry air and smell the stone.

Where's your preferred place to pre-order? Amazon is Not On, correct?

[lagilman]

Normally I'd say your local indie, if yo're not tied to Amazon but since they don't have pre-order links up yet...

(c'mon, Baker & Taylor, get your act together!)

Don't worry, I'll remind everyone when those links DO go live. ;-)

(Ironically, the ground should be covered in grass, but the artist has A Preferred Color Scheme. *g*)

It's wonderful! I think Tor does the best covers.

Well, except this cover is from Saga Press/S&S. :-)

Tor.com did the cover reveal because they like to do roundups of stuff that happens beyond their walls, as well as publishing really nifty short fiction. (Tor.com is not the same thing as Tor Books, though there is some staff overlap)

Then three cheers for Saga Press. Yes, tor.com's identity can be a bit confusing.

Fabulous!
