I have a hardcover!

... and one of these days, I will have a digital camera. Even if I'm allergic to cameras.

But I have author's copies of Hidden City in my hall. I have stubbed my toes 4 times on the boxes, which is proof that they're real, the other proof being papercuts. Don't ask.

I expected them to come much later, because they're shipped from Penguin Canada now (for Canadian authors, which does save money), but I think they're shipped directly to the warehouse which just does a straight passthrough.

But it doesn't matter why they're here early -- and I am staring at the book sitting beside my computer like an adolescent in the first throes of love.

ETA: No, I am not actually reading any of it, because it hasn't been long enough since I looked at the galleys. I'm just ... staring at Jody's art & the overall design.

Hardcover AND Jodi Lee cover - yay!!

I think this should work...



I hope your publisher forgives the slight copyright infringement. I nabbed the pic right off the Amazon website, so it's not as if it wasn't already very public.

And there was much rejoicing.

Congratulations! I'll be getting the author's copies of my first ever novel today. I can hardly wait for them to arrive.

Congratu;ations on the stubbed toes!

It really is a lovely cover :) It might replace the Shining City's cover as my second favorite; I still love Broken Crown's the most. <3

NOthing like a brand new bouncing baby book to lighten the heart and scare the wits out of you.

Just so you know, I got an email today from Amazon letting me know that since I've previously ordered books by Michelle West, I might be interested in pre-ordering Hidden City, the first book in "The House War."

Uh, yes I am. Very much so. I've been looking forward to this book for at least a year now. Hopefully I'll have enough money to pre-order it on the next paycheck.

Also, I went out and bought my third copy of The Broken Crown just last week. I keep loaning them out and never getting them back, which is why copies of Hunter's Oath and Hunter's Death aren't allowed out of my sight.

Cheers to one of my favorite writers. I eagerly await this next book.

::still holding breath in anticipation of final publication::
I must agree with whoever said Broken Crown's cover is their favorite.
It drives me mad that I can't possibly hope to imitate that dress in pixel doll form. I'm not an artist; even if I were, I wouldn't copy another artist's work. But fanart, on a pixel doll- ^^
