Why doesn't a big publisher pick this guy up? Oh wait..

[Heather]

Awesome! I'll place my preorder soon! :-)

[Michael]

Pre-order page has also gone up for

Heir of Novron: $14.99 $10.19 (save 4.80 - 32%) by preordering.

For those that don't know how "big publishing" works - preorders help to determine how much publicity and marketing $'s your book will get. So, while I'll not ask you to buy the books if you don't want to. I will say if you ARE going to be buying - doing so by pre-ordering will help get a little more attraction from the new publisher.

[Heather]

Preorders all made! :-) This is so exciting!

[Michael]

Thanks!

[Amelia]

Preodered it too! Will this one have your artwork that matches the others already out or will there be different artwork?

[Jason]

Michael,

I am a recent reader of your books and proud to say a new fan. Your writing was like a breath of fresh. I love everything in these books. The writing style is superb, the characters are awesome and the plot keeps me wanting more! Keep up the great work!
Also your book is the sole reason for me finding this site and joining. That says a lot because I never join anything.

Orbit Books have unveiled the cover art for The Riyria Revelations. The cover art is by Larry Rostant.

I like the covers. Very different from what Michael did originally, but they look like books that would garner attention, especially with the current trends in cover art. (I'm glad I have the orignals, but these give me another reason to want to buy the ones coming from Orbit.)

[Heather]

My thoughts are similar to Amelia's. Although, I must admit, that's not quite how I visualized Hadrian.

[Jessie Leigh]

I like them. I pictured Hadrian a tad different, but Royce seems dead on.

[Bear]

Very nice!

[Michael]

hey guys....I was coming to post the covers - but you beat me too it! Glad people are liking them. I've said all along that i don't like "people" on covers as I want each person to get their own idea of what the y should look like. That being said...Orbit knows its audience best and they feel this was the way to go. All in all I think the books look very professional.

[Heather]

Oh, yes, that was my thought. Orbit knows what sells their books. I do like them. And, honestly, if I hadn't read the books yet, I wouldn't mind the guys on the cover at all! ;-) They are very nice covers!
