A new cover for the new book. We are going in another direction for our covers. Something a little less literal and more what they call "urban fantasy." The model for Crispin is quite good. Sexy! He can use his skills on me anytime!
Veil of Lies will get the same makeover when the paperback comes out in October so they will all have the same look to them. I'm excited about this direction because not only does it show a bit of confidence on the part of St. Martin's to go the extra mile (and spend the extra money) but it's absolutely fresh for a medieval mystery and was what I was looking for in the first place!
So I'm hoping that my current readers and new readers will like it, too.
Very Orlando Bloom in Kingdom of Heaven. Definitely gives the book more of a sexy/action vibe. Great cover, Jeri!

I really like the way his sword or knife or whatever it is,is sort of sticking into the cobblestones. I wouldn't exactly call it "urban fantasy", but it's very effective,and a good choice. Can't wait to read it,either.

What is at the end of the street? It leads your eye into the story.

Great cover! If I buy the book does the model come with it?

Wow! Love that cover. Can I use that same model for my next Mahu book?

Great cover! Please send me a book--along with the model.
Thanks,
June

Hmm, yes, that's a good looking, huh, book :) Can't wait to read it !

Excellent in every way!

The model makes a great "face of Crispin." That's a very odd feeling to see my creation so, well, three-dimensional?
How about we include a centerfold in the book? :)

Wow...that is a great cover! I also like the centerfold idea!

Unlocked Word Hoard--a very interesting blog of medieval matters--asks why Crispin is mindlessly stabbing the ground. I say Crispin is just pin-pointing the problem. He's a pretty sharp guy, after all. At least he's taking a stab at it. :)
