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?

I guess it's partly because I know it's German, but there is something that says "German fantasy novel" about that cover. I guess there is a "house style" of sorts for each nation's publishers. The way that the old UK Discworld covers would have never, ever been used in the US.

Exactly. Every region has their own indicators of genre and content.
