COVER ART!!!

I had this great post planned. I was going to talking about the sad conclusion of the great Russian mystery and then finally throw up my latest refrigerator poetry, but something happened to trump all my plans. And I'm not complaining. Not one bit.

During the past few weeks, I have been obsessively haunting Amazon.com, waiting for them to post my cover. And they did it! They finally did it! They posted my cover at long last.

So, with a drum roll.....

Come on, drum roll.....

Here is the cover for Nightwalker: The First Dark Days Novel.

Isn't it lovely? This isn't the clearest copy. Here is another version that might be a little clearer.

I love my cover. I love my editor. I love HarperCollins. I think my cover is positively to die for. I've had it since September and it's been killing me that I haven't been able to share it with the world. But now, everyone can see it.

And because I'm in such a good mood, I'm going to run my very first contest. I am going to give away 2 cover flats. If you are interested in getting your hands on one of my few cover flats, please leave a comment. After the contest closes, I'll drop all the names in a hat, close my eyes, and pick out 2 names.
  • You're eligible if you're not related to me
  • One entry per person
  • Please sign your entry
  • Please don't leave your email address in your comment. If you do, you will get spammed. (Not by me. I'm just saying that's a very real risk.)
  • The giveaway closes at 11:59 pm eastern time on Sunday, May 4th. At that time, I will close the comment thread. A winner will be announced the following day.

Thanks to all who have commented and like my cover. I'm so proud of her, even though I had very little to do with the process.

Thanks Rachel for the mention on your blog!
