THINGS I'LL NEVER SAY
Hello, and Happy Holiday Season, my honeybunches! I hope everyone's fully prepared to either celebtrate or else hunker down and comfortably ignore all the winter festivities, whichever is your preference. Today's the last blog post you'll be getting from me for the next couple of weeks, as I'm taking a little bit of time off for Christmas and the New Year, so I thought I would share some new cover art.
This is for the anthology I've mentioned a few times before; produced by Candlewick Press and due out in hardcover in the US in March 2015, it's entitled THINGS I'LL NEVER SAY and is full of short stories on the theme of secrets and secret selves. I was told that my UK publisher Walker Books would be releasing this anthology here in Britain at some point, too, but I don't know any details about that yet, sadly. I'll update you when I do! In the meantime, I'll probably look at getting hold of some copies of this so I can do a giveaway for British and European Dear Readers in March.
My story - my first ever published short story, in fact - is called 'Storm Clouds Fleeing From the Wind' and is set in the universe of Shadows on the Moon, casting light on the young Akira's famous (and scandalous) dance at the Shadow Ball that changed her life forever. I'm really proud of this piece of work. I hope that others will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Now, without any further delay, here's the cover:
I don't technically have permission to post this here, but it's already up on Goodreads and Amazon, so... whatevs. What do you think of it? Let me know in the comments :) Read you later, lovelies!

It's a little young for *my* story, I think - but I'm not sure if the other stories are young adult or teen or what (although that's a fine line anyway). I'm impressed that they commissioned a physical piece of art, though. It's certainly unusual and eye-catching.
It is super-nice to see commissioned art on a cover. And this one is definitely eye-catching. I was just grumbling this week about too-similar stock photo covers, as the book I just finished and the book I just started have not-identical, but still too-similar covers, neither of which really seem to fit the story they're on.
The cover looks a little on the young side to me. But I really like the idea of stories about our secret selves, so I'll get a copy when it comes out. Thanks for the reminder!
