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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow!! Congrats to the both of you!!!!!!!! It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteYippee!!! Oh, it came out BEAUTIFUL.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow! 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?
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.

ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! I love the beautiful long luscious faerie-hair. I need new books so I better get a copy!

ReplyDeleteThat 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!

ReplyDeleteHey everybody! I just wanted to pipe in and give a HUGE heartfelt "THANK YOU!!" for the wonderfully kind words -- it means so much!
ReplyDeleteAnd 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
