Speaking of covers, I am blessed with some beauties in the coming months. Isn't the collection on the left, Tehani Wessely's Australis Imaginarium, just stunning?

The second one probably needs no explanation beyond red red red! I am very slightly disappointed that the cover doesn't feature my Jedi Padawan character (who is physically modelled on Alexander Skarsgard, aka Eric Northman of True Blood--yum) but, you know, I can't have everything. :-)

The rightmost pair are from the first two of my Fixers books for young readers, the series that has everything. Look closely: yes, that is a cyborg pirate on book two. What do you think? They'll be printed in blue foil, which will probably blind the dear little blighters before they can get their hands on them.

anything printed on blue foil works for me -- more book covers should resemble chocolate wrappers, I say!

I agree! And hey, thanks for the help with the covers. I should've put that in the post, shouldn't I?

nope! Converting pdfs is a free service!

Hurrah! Still, I think you are being generous and I am mentally toting up quite a debt. Next time we are in a bar together, I will cough up.

To quote Heidegger.

Another reason to look forward to World Con... getting Australis Imaginarium!

Hurrah! Indeed! I can't wait.

Red no fooling!

They're all cool, but those masklike things on Fixers 2 look really neat.

Yeah. I like them too. :-)

Red is the new black.

Awesome! I think I see before me a new series for my nephew.

Cool! I hope he likes them. *knees knock in terrify of finicky pre-teen tastes*

Well, this is the kid who took China to task over his 'grammatical errors' in Un Lun Dun :-)

Wow, this is great! And I think my Master 7 can stand having the Fixers books thrust upon him!

I hope so! Fingers crossed. :-)

Awesome!

But how come the cyborgs get a whole planet and the zombies only get a castle?

It's a very special castle...

And if the series does well, I hope the sequel will have monkeys and ninjas.

The monkeys and ninjas will expect more than just a castle. :-)

Indeed. And those are two lobby groups I'd be VERY wary of disappointing.

Swell stuff. The Fatal Alliance cover is very moody...

Matches the title, I guess. :-)
