Meet Hirik and Whisper! Soon you will have a chance to get to know them, and of course to see Magpie and Talon again too. And the crows. Perhaps even a certain unpleasant imp will make an appearance . . .The Silksinger ARC (Advance Reader's Copy) is going to the printer tomorrow! Yay!!! Stay tuned here in the coming month or two. There just might be a giveaway. (Actual pub date is September.)
Beautiful art by the fabulous Jim Di Bartolo, of course!

Squee! A cover! I like it a lot.
Beautiful! Can't wait to read it.
Oh, wow!! Congrats to the both of you!!!!!!!! It's lovely!
Yippee!!! Oh, it came out BEAUTIFUL.
Tomorrow! Eek!
Gorgeous! I love how both Magpie and Whisper are blindingly beautiful in a grown up sort of way, or at least not a childish way, without any pushy sexiness. And I like the cutlass. Is is a cutlass? Or a saber?
And what are they bracing for? It must be somtehing bad.. I love it when a cover poses questions. Well done, Jim! And well done you, for seeing your 'baby' off to print.
Now for some cake, since you can't have wine.
Oh I love the cover and can't wait to be able to read it. September seems such a long wait but I know it will be worth it.

The cover looks FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Congrats to both of you. I have already sold my advanced copy to Miriam in exchange for her allowance for the rest of the year. She has to send it to me every single Monday or else! good luck today!
Awesome!!! I love the beautiful long luscious faerie-hair. I need new books so I better get a copy!

So gorgeous--and so exciting that pub date approaches! First ARCs, then the real thing. Kudos to the fabulous Jim!
Very cool! Don't forget that Natalie is ready and willing if you need any 14 year-old reader-ly feedback!
ooh, ahh! lovely.
So much love for this gorgeous cover! And I can't WAIT to read the book! I'm going to blog about this on my LiveJournal today, as soon as I've been a good little author and worked on my revisions for a couple of hours first...
I love it - you're having 2 babies this year! woot woot!
Oh Laini and Jim, it is just so lovely!!! I can't wait to read it! I love the names Whisper and Hirik, too.
How exciting - squeeeee!!
If I hadn't been in a (quite) public computer lab, I probably would have "squeed." So exciting!
The cover looks AMAZING.
Gorgeous!!!!!
Ooooohhh I can't wait to read it!!
*drool*
Jim strikes again - it is gorgeous!
Psst, I blogged about Silksinger over here: http://rj-anderson.livejournal.com/582380.html

The cover looks FAB!!! Congratulations!!
Jim did a beautiful job! Fantastic cover! Can't wait to read your book.
How beautiful! I love her hair! It looks so strong.
GORGEOUS! I cannot wait! Ooh, there's going to be some awesome fight scenes, I can just see it. And that Whisper...she looks powerful, even though she's huddled and has teeny wings. I smell a secret!
Lovely!
Well, move over Brett Helquest!
That cover is gorgeous, beautiful, awe-imspiring, eye grabbing, absolutely wonderful and mystical! Jim SO rocks and when my first novel is accepted for publishing I'm giving him a call right away to do my cover!
This is a fabulous cover! And I can not wait for the book - I am so happy to find out that there will be a sequel to BLACKBRINGER because I loved that book so much!
Looking forward to September now. ;)
So pretty and dangerous looking! It totally captures the essence of the book!
Oooooh! How beautiful! Whisper looks like such a different faerie from Magpie. Congratulations to both (all three!!!) of you! xo
Hey everybody! I just wanted to pipe in and give a HUGE heartfelt "THANK YOU!!" for the wonderfully kind words -- it means so much!
And rest assured that the story in SILKSINGER is every bit as good as BLACKBRINGER -- and possibly (it's tough to say!) even better. I freaking LOVE IT! (Great job Sweetie!)
Warmly,
Jim
WOW!!! I love the cover. I can't wait to read it!
-Senfaye :)
Very exciting - Congratulations - Cool cover!!
Is this the proper place to admit I have a crush on Hirik?
@Amber Lough: Oh, good, I'm not alone!
Ooh, so pretty! Gorgeous job, Jim!

Awesome! I love the color of the background. Kinda spooooky...
:)
Hi everybody! Thanks so much for the kinds words :-) RJ, thanks for the shout-out!
That cova is gawgeous!!!! I am lovin' her bad-to-the-bone HAIR!!
(I am speaking with my southern accent tonight :-)
I should have said "haya" instead of "hair."
Amazing artwork. I cannot wait to read it Laini! How exciting. I remember scouring the city for the arc of Blackbringer...has it really been two years?
What a beautiful cover! Can't wait to see the real thing in person!
Ohh, it's gorgeous! I'm so excited to read it!
Whoa, Whisper is a scamperer? I didn't notice that 'till just now... love it.
