Check it out! The cover for NEBELBANN!

I am absolutely delighted to announce the cover release for Nebelbann, the German edition of A Local Habitation. ("Nebelbann" means, roughly, "mist-spell" or "mist-ban." It's a really spiffy compound word, and I'm thrilled.) This is being released by Egmont, my German publisher, and the cover design was done by the artist who designed the cover of Winterfluch.

Behold the pretty:



It's so different from my US covers, and so pretty, that I honestly couldn't be happier. I'm really happy.

What do you think?

That's not Toby on the cover though, is it? (On the other hand, there are plenty of pretty-pretty people it can be, and that is a very nice cover.)

Congrats on the foreign language sales!

Yes, that is Toby.

She's not ugly. She doesn't wear much makeup, as a rule, but she's not unfortunate-looking, and the coloring of that model is completely accurate.

I remember her eyes were light (the word 'colorless' comes to mind) and sufficiently exotic that normal looking human eyes were part of her glamor.

They're a colorless sort of gray when she isn't wearing a human disguise. When she is, she usually turns them blue.

I missed the blue eyes as well! Doh! Thought she was brown-eyed for some reason... (Maybe because the US covers don't really show eye color much?) And tending to look more grouchy. >_> It's the lack of snark in the expression that got me! *grin*
