Something Like Autumn cover art!
I love revealing cover art. When it comes to my books, I’m a pretty humble guy. I like them, but I don’t really expect anyone else to. So while the big sales pitch is a necessity, I don’t honestly feel like screaming: “Look! I made the best thing ever!” When it comes to Andreas’s art, I feel the exact opposite. So with that in mind… *clears throat* Holy shit! Check it out! Andreas created the best thing ever!
Take a moment. Ignore the text and my clumsily worded blurb on the back. Just take in the art and feel.
Are you feeling stuff? I’m feeling stuff.
Okay, now let’s talk. This cover is a slight departure from the previous two. Summer and Winter were a pair. Summer has Ben looking at Tim. Winter has Tim looking at Ben. For this cover, I told Andreas he didn’t need to stick to that pattern and he didn’t. We have a mysterious new character in the forefront—Victor. You haven’t met him yet. He’s looking across the lake at the guy in the green shirt. That’s Jace, and yes, he has long hair. It was the nineties. You’ll have to forgive him. On what will be the back of the book, we have another look at our punky new friend as he leans up against a tree and slowly inhales cancer.
Of course once the story is released, you’ll see this art in a new context, but for now let your imagination run wild. At least until May 31st when Something Like Autumn hits the virtual shelves. I hope to see you back here then!

Looks awesome! Can't wait til 31st:)
Beautiful! As usual Andreas did a bang up job. You're so lucky to have him (in many ways, I'm sure). Ah, it's so exciting... just one more week, huh? Can't wait :o)

I'm ridiculously lucky, yes. I've tried explaining that to Andreas, but he just doesn't get it. :D
It beautiful. I cant wait to find out who Victor is :)
Looks awesome! Anxiously awaiting what is one of my favorite book series of all time. Is Spring next? :-)

But it was not a cerebral aneurism that provoked Jace's death in the first book? Since my father died for an aneurism also, this was marked in my memory, because it's unusual this illness be mentioned in novels.

Are you asking how there can be a book about Jace if he died in the first? If so, the majority of this book takes place before the events of Something Like Summer.
No, it's because your comment above. I 'm a bite confuse here. Is Victor or Jace who leans up against a tree and slowly inhales cancer?
Mlygia wrote: "No, it's because your comment above. I 'm a bite confuse here. Is Victor or Jace who leans up against a tree and slowly inhales cancer?"Ah, okay. That's Victor smoking. In the US we often call cigarettes "cancer sticks," and I was playing off of that term. It isn't meant to imply Victor gets cancer in the book. I'm sorry to hear you lost your father!
Wow! Andreas did a smashing job, the colors are spectacular, very special. He really captured the dog days of Autumn, I can feel that baked heat that my New England autumn gives off. Yay you, you lucky man!
Just wanted to say, I really like the art too! It's a wonderful piece! :) Totally works with the other two covers. And the yellow is just so Autumn-y!
