When will you rise?

To begin with, here is today's exciting press release of awesome exciting awesomeness:

The cover graphic for Feed has been officially released by my publisher (Orbit).

Click for the artist's commentary, and then come back to join me in squealing, flailing excitement. Feed is the first of three volumes in the Newsflesh trilogy, all of them being released under my pseudonym, Mira Grant. Feed will be on shelves in May 2010 (yes, the same month as my appearance at MarCon in Columbus, Ohio—when they invited me, they got two guests for the price of one). Which brings us to...

...my page proofs for Feed arrived today, and they are intense. Thank the Great Pumpkin that I have some long stints on airplanes coming up, because otherwise I'd worry about my capacity to finish reviewing a manuscript of this length in the time allotted. As it stands, the folks at OVFF may see a lot less of my smiling face than they were expecting, because I have got a lot of work to do. But it will all be worth it, and it will all be completely awesome when it's done.

The end of the world was just the beginning.

When will you rise?

I absolutely cannot watch zombie movies, but I love them in print form. And that cover is epic win. The bloody RSS feed symbol, when I saw it on the Orbit blog, made me go 'hey, that's cool, what is it about?'. Definitely the definition of success for a cover.

(and reading the description made me think Cory Doctorow's 'When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth' with zombies, which is totally cool in itself)

That is a fantastic short story, and a "this made me think of" that I'm thrilled to take. The cover just couldn't be more awesome.
