This has just come in, hot off the press, or hot off Clint Langley’s hard drive at any rate. I’m trying to be cool and casual about it, you know, it’s a nice piece of artwork, does its job well, fits the brief perfectly…
But I can’t.
BECAUSE IT’S TOTALLY FREAKIN’ AWESOME!!!
Yes, I have turned into an American teenager. And I’m not ready to turn back into a 40-something Englishman just yet.
DUDE, IT’S TOTALLY FREAKIN’ AWESOME!!!
There’s the snow. The American cityscape. The creepy- ugly vampire face. The badass mofos in military gear. And Redlaw looking even more badass than those badasses. Like he could whup those badasses’ asses badly.
I share this with you all so that you may bathe in its bleak, radiant brilliance.
And now all I have to do, as ever, is make the book as good as I can, in order to match the cover. And I haven’t even started writing it yet.
No pressure, then.

Dude, it is totally freakin’ awesome! As is the Redlaw cover. I’d buy these for the covers alone. I can’t wait to see it with the titles laid in.
We did have a version with the title and author name a couple of months back, but for one reason and another it wasn’t right. I think there’s still some tweaking to be done to the image, and once that’s sorted then the designer can work out how to fit in everything that needs to be fitted in. It will, then, be even more totally freakin’ awesome than before. In the meantime, I need to keep working on the stuff that actually goes in between the covers…!
