A Teaspoonful Of Excitement …
Following on from Wednesday’s Teaspoonful of Luck, today we have a Teaspoonful of Excitement — because next Monday, dear readers, both the US and UK COVERS for Daughter Of Blood shall be REVEALED!
And I have to say, I am REALLY looking forward to it!
Because although I have been telling you all that there is a book and it’s going to be published in January, having covers makes it all seem so much more Real. (Even if logic asserts that it will, in fact, be no more or less real after Monday than it was before. ๐ )
And, just to add to our teaspoonful of excitement, because the Wall of Night series is being re-released (and re-jacketed) in the US, that means this cover will be breaking step with what’s gone before. A wee bit of extra excitement indeed!
So if I don’t see you before then, do drop by on Monday — or otherwise rock on over to either the Orbit (UK) or Voyager (US) sites and check out the goodness there.
I will!
Yay!
Whoop whoop.. more than a teaspoon of excitement I’d have said.

I am emulating the love song of J. Alfred Prufrock this week, only rather than coffee spoons, I am using teaspoons to “measure out my life.” ๐
Have you had any say over cocer design, Helen? Very exciting!
While overall oversight remains with the publisher and in particular the art department, I do get input and in fact had quite a lot of involvement with the new US covers. This does not mean that I didn’t have input with the UK covers, but because Orbit are sticking with the current series’ style, a lot of the creative decisions were pre-established from discussions for the HEIR & GATHERING covers.
Cover, sorry
Something to look forward to on Monday.
I feel that way, too, June. ๐
