But seriously, I could not be more thrilled and excited with the a-maaaaazing cover art that Tor has produced for me. The creative genius minds of Irene Gallo, my editor Diana Gill and the spectacularly talented artist, Greg Ruth (you should check out his work – especially if you’re a fan of Twin Peaks: Greg Ruth’s amazing art) have come up with this beautiful, beautiful thing:

You know they say never judge a book by its…. puh-lease! This looks INCREDIBLE! I would pick that up in a heartbeat. Face it out on a bookshop or library shelf, and watch it go. It’s bloody gorgeous and much back-slapping of the design team is entirely warranted. And also screaming. Lots of screaming.
