The cover for Cast in Fury, which is due in October of 2008. Which, by normal calendar, is generally called September of 2008.
This is the cover flat that is used in sales kits, rather than the cover that will be bound; it's also called a cover proof. The front is what I've posted, and the back -- which I should have had scanned, and will if anyone wants to see it -- has the marketing tips and information that are in theory more relevant to selling the book to bookstores.
One of the points listed in my Luna publishing history is that Cast in Secret had a 6 week Sales Velocity of 57%. I still haven't remembered to ask a rep what "Sales Velocity" means, but I am assuming that a Six Week Sales Velocity of 57% means that the book in question (the previous volume in the series) sold 57% of the total number to date at that time in the first six on-sale weeks.
ETA: Because I never upload images, I didn't realize that this one would be smaller than the actual .jpeg; if you want to see a larger version (with slightly more legible text, it's here.

YAY cover!
Date: 2008-04-26 05:46 am (UTC)Oh well, I preordered it and broke down and ordered Hidden City in hardcover... this will really mess with my bookshelf devoted to your works, as I have all the other DAW releases in paperback only (at the time I didn't have a full time job yet, so I patiently waited for paperbacks). Oh well, all in a good cause: you and Sherwood Smith and C.J. Cherryh and Lois McMaster Bujold get the hardcover treatment these days ^^.
