Sorry about yesterday. No. . .no I’m not. ;-)
It’s rare that I try to prank anyone, so thank you for all your good humor yesterday when I put up the never used, original step-back art for the mass market of White Witch, Black Curse with a fake title on it as an April Fool prank. And if it helps, my mom tricked me quite soundly later. Suppose I deserved it. . . (laugh) It was nice that the artwork was even available, clearly Hollows, and with the rights already secured, just sitting there. You can thank one of the big discount stores for this, as they flat out said they wouldn’t stock it if it had “that” cover. So at the last moment, WWBC went to mass market with the hard cover art, which was just fine with me. I liked the new art, but all the different covers were getting confusing.
I will be releasing the new cover later this month, tying it in with the ten year anniversary of Dead Witch Walking. Harper and I have a week long set of give-aways that I’ll be running from the blog as FB gets funny about stuff like that. I’m thinking that most will be U.S. only, but the final blow out where Guy and I offer up a stash of hard covers–that will be open to International. Look for it all starting the week of the 21st. Oh! and there will be a mass market Manic Monday next Monday, so do come back for that. They go fast, which is why we wait until noon and the East Coast has time to find their coffee.
