That's some cover art, do you have a say in the art?

And will it have a different cover for the UK?

kyektulu · 7th March 2006, 10:28 PM

Kelpie I love that picture!

I can gaurentee im purchasing your next book too, I would love to read the writings of a fellow chronicler.

Teresa Edgerton · 7th March 2006, 11:12 PM

My editor asked me for ideas, nixie, without promising that they would use one of them. As it happened, they did. But the artist had some issues with the way the art director described the scene, and called me up to get a better idea. This was a sufficiently unusual state of affairs (for a New York publisher anyway) that I was as suprised as I was pleased.

But as for a different cover for the UK, that would imply a UK publisher, which I don't have. So it will definitely be the same cover if/when they export it.

kyektulu, I always appreciate the support of the members here!

Amazing! Nuff said.

That is an amazing picture, Kelpie! I'm so looking forward to reading the next installment for this adventure.

Is there a website where I can buy your book from Kelpie?

Paradox 99 · 8th March 2006, 01:19 AM

Incredible! I'd probably buy the book just from seeing that cover (I'm like that

). And I've always thought that the Manticore is a fascinating creature - something I was intending to use in some of my own work at some point.

Might seem like a stupid qestion Kelpie, but does this mean that one will feature in the book? (Though I've bought the Hidden Stars I haven't read it yet, so I don't know if you've already introduced these into your world).

Teresa Edgerton · 8th March 2006, 01:24 AM

You mean the one that's out now, kyektulu? They sell it at amazon and other places online. Here's the link for the UK:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...097118-0543907

But they're selling the trade paperback at a bargain price in the US, and the price difference may be enough to make it cheaper even with the cost of overseas shipping, if you want to comparison shop:

I really like the cover

Teresa Edgerton · 8th March 2006, 03:47 AM

You're 8 hours ahead of me in the British Isles; it's still early evening here.

Paradox, yes, it's an actual scene from the new book, manticore and all. One thing that happened during the course of The Hidden Stars was that boundaries and bindings were beginning to fray, and creatures not seen for hundreds of years were starting to turn up.

That manticores had existed at one time in that world was, I believe, mentioned in passing, but this will be the first time any of the characters meet a live one.

But I'm glad that you all like the artwork so well. I'm quite pleased with it myself.

dwndrgn · 8th March 2006, 04:03 PM

Oh yes, I definitely like it. However, now you've just teased us. Any idea when the book will be published?

Mark Robson · 8th March 2006, 04:40 PM

Wow! You have no need to be jealous of Imperial Assassin, Kelpie. That's a fantastic cover. For some reason I had overlooked this thread until now. I've not seen many covers on US editions of fantasy books that I've actually liked, but that picture is stunning. You must be very pleased with this one.

Well, they keep moving it around. I have hopes it will stay put this time at Jan-Feb 07.

Mark, I'm not jealous of your Imperial Spy cover art vs. the wonderful work Stephen Youll is doing for me now. It was a more general sort of envy.
