covers to die for

[adelaidesean]

Below is the cover* of my first kids' novel, The Changeling, which will be published by HarperCollins March 2008.

Below the cut are the covers to the sequels, The Dust Devils and The Scarecrow.

They couldn't be more different to the wonderful cover and illustrations by David Cornish, which I posted here a while back. It doesn't matter. I love them both. What do you think?

Soon I'll post an excerpt for your reading pleasure, and I'll link to that here.

I am quite immodestly proud of these books. They may be the best things I've written, so far.

Given that "The Changeling" has already been used many, many times as a title, I wouldn't think so. Isn't yours "The Changeling Child" anyway?

No conflict at all. Maybe if the titles were identical and the books were coming out in the same month, maybe then one of us would have to put on our thinking caps, but given that's not the case we have nothing to worry about.

Great to see that blue line going up and up, btw. I rely on charts like that to keep me motivated.
