THE NAME OF THE BLADE: AMERICAN EDITION
Hello, Dear Readers! Happy Tuesday to all.
People have been asking me for a while about the cover for the U.S. edition of
However, yesterday I recieved a lovely package from Candlewick, containing advanced reader's copies (or ARCs) of THE NAME OF THE BLADE with the US cover in place. So I decided it was probably OK to share the cover artwork now. This is based on the fact that the last time I had a book coming out in the US, I held off from sharing the cover for a very long time, waiting to get official permission, even after the image had turned up on the publisher website, NetGalley, and Amazon, and people started sending it me asking me what it was. I ended up feeling like a bit of a twit. This time I'd like to get in first.
So without further ado, I present to you:
On the physical version, I'm told that the yellow and metallic bits you see - the lettering, and the sword - will be in silver and gold foil, with the rest of the cover in a matt finish. As far as I'm aware this will be a hardcover release.
It's very different from any other urban fantasy covers, isn't it? What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments!
I have a couple of ARCs of THE NAME OF THE BLADE going spare, so I'm thinking about maybe combining these with other bits and pieces I have to hand and doing a giveaway next week - more on that when I've worked it out.
Oh, and heads-up that I'm posting on the Author Allsorts about how I write this Friday, so tune in for that. I'll probably post a link here just as a reminder :)

So I'm going to end up with one set with those gorgeous UK covers, and another set with hardcovers and dust jackets! Pretty exciting. (Plus one lonely pink first printing of The Night Itself :-)

I've just pre-ordered the new Book One plus Book Two from Book Depository. Now I will be impatiently tapping my fingers until July. Tap ... tap ... tap. It doesn't help that I know I have to wait for Book Three to see how you work out Jackaru. Perhaps I'll stop tapping and start pacing.
