Come on up for the Rising...

The finished copies of Feed landed on my doorstep yesterday afternoon, where they were promptly rescued from the rain by my mother, who was over at the house doing basic kitchen maintenance (oh, how the cats hate her and her sloshy, sloshy mop). They are...I mean, they're even prettier than the ARC, which I didn't think was possible. The covers are done in this amazing combination of matte and semi-gloss that makes the blood really pop, and they're eye-catching and utterly bleak at the same time. Orbit did a really incredible job with them. I am awed.

Time between opening the box and my mother stealing a copy: Under five minutes. At least she's consistent...

In honor of the arrival of the finished copies, and the oncoming release of the book itself (the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train, it's a flamethrower), I've been making updates to MiraGrant.com. In addition to moving the Horror Movie FAQ to its new home (it was replaced on my main site by the Fairy Tale Survival FAQ), I've added some very important facts about Mira Grant that you should know. Not convinced of the raw danger that you face when you taunt my evil alter-ego? Take a gander at the full list of warnings. These were taken from your suggestions, and they should hopefully do a little to prepare the public for the danger that's to come.

In slightly less silly news, the first batch of icons and desktop wallpapers has been added to the site for you to use and enjoy! Tara really knocked herself out on these, and was aided by Lauren at Orbit, who was awesome enough to let her work from the original cover graphic source. I couldn't be more pleased. Check it out—I bet you'll be pretty pleased, too.

When will you rise?

It may be nitpicking, but on the Mira Grant homepage it says "For a full list of novel-length and short fiction publications, please see the Bibliography page."

But there is no bibliography page on the site :-)

I do love the lists, though :-D
If I haven't explicitly said a page is done, assume a great big "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" splashed across everything. :P
Website FTW!
Glee. :)
Ooh, demon red-eyed kitty icon *g*. Must be related to Phil Allcock...
Orange-eyed, please!
*bouncebouncebounce*
My, what a stylish icon!
Pretty cunning, don'tcha think?
Absolutely.
At least your mom wants a copy :)
Well, yes, but isn't your mother supposed to be your one guaranteed sale?
Not in my family :(
You can borrow my mom. She's good that way.
I am so excited for Feed, can't wait to read it. I just finished ALH last night and it was awesome! (well actually this morning since i was reading till 2am :D) I hope we see more of Tybalt and Quentin in the next novel.

also did you ever announced the winners for the save a receipt contest?


Have a great day!!
1) Yay! There's a lot more of Quentin in An Artificial Night (he's one of the central characters), and Tybalt definitely has a part to play.

2) Not yet.
