ONE SALT SEA cover debut!

Psst. C'mere. Wanna see something really pretty? I mean, really pretty? I'll give you a hint: if you're a Toby fan, it's something you've been waiting for ever since the cover to Late Eclipses was released. I think you'll be pleased. I know I'm pleased.

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Behold the pretty:



Here's the original art, without the text:



OH MY GOD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD IT'S THE COVER TO ONE SALT SEA AND IT'S GORGEOUS!

I really think this is the best one—and the most Toby one—yet.

What do you think?

Holy god, that is gorgeous. Wow.

Toby looks like Amy Pond. Wait, did she become a mermaid?

Great quote. Will they be able to put NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR on there?

She does, a bit.

I don't know yet whether they can put that on the cover; it may be print list only. So we'll find out.

AWESOME POSSUM!

Yes!

She's a redhead! <3

And...a mermaid..?

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:05:23 UTC 6 years ago

It's a lighting thing, really. On LE, she looked like she had faintly purple hair; now it's red-cast from all the blood and spray.

Yah! Looks great, and can't wait for the book! I've also gotten three more people reading your books.

Thank you! I really appreciate that.

Wow, never would have noticed the pattern of the scales. A-fish-ionado of scale patterns?

majestic!

time to see if I can pre-order yet.

April 11 2011, 20:25:31 UTC 6 years ago

Amazon has it up for pre-order... unless you hate amazon, in which case ignore this!

Mermaid what? Is she changing her blood again? Bwah? :-D

Also: PRETTY!!! :-D

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:27:42 UTC 6 years ago

Her powers don't work that way. Toby can only change what's already there, not introduce new things.

For some reason that makes me think of this (and there's a strong resemblence between the model in the video and Toby in the pic...)

Gorgeous indeed! Can't wait to see it on the shelves ... and specifically *my* shelf.

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:29:20 UTC 6 years ago

Hee. Yes.

oneminutemonkey

April 11 2011, 20:19:43 UTC 6 years ago

That's one purty cover.

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:33:39 UTC 6 years ago

Yeah. :)

apocalypticbob

April 11 2011, 20:21:25 UTC 6 years ago

So beautiful!!!

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:33:52 UTC 6 years ago

So pleased.

soberloki

April 11 2011, 20:21:38 UTC 6 years ago

Oooh, that's absolutely lovely! Also, is Toby now a mermaid? I'm dying to see what we get in this book...

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:34:09 UTC 6 years ago

I really love my artist. He's done such a fantastic job.

Awesome, just awesome.

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:34:19 UTC 6 years ago

Yeah. :)

ducktape74

April 11 2011, 20:24:33 UTC 6 years ago

I could be mis-remembering, but wasn't the mermaid thing alluded to in the preview at the end of LE?

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:34:39 UTC 6 years ago

There was some wheelchair racing in the preview.

I have to admit my first thought was "Ahh! Salt water on leather jacket!" then I saw the tail. Ooh I can't wait to read this! :D

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:35:01 UTC 6 years ago

Toby's not happy about the leather jacket thing, either.

Oh so lovely. I saw the leetle bitty thumbnail on Amazon when I was ordered to pre-order this morning but this is much better big and in person! So lovely. I am just dying for this book. Specially since I'm in a bit of a book funk.

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:35:16 UTC 6 years ago

Aww.

I hope this will help.

notalwaysweak

April 11 2011, 20:33:54 UTC 6 years ago

Oh my word, that's wonderful.

I adore how she's been (IMHO) getting more fae-looking as the series progresses.

seanan_mcguire

April 11 2011, 20:35:31 UTC 6 years ago

I think so, too.

ladymondegreen

April 11 2011, 20:38:14 UTC 6 years ago

Holy cow! It looks great and her features look just right.

seanan_mcguire

April 12 2011, 00:11:09 UTC 6 years ago

I'm really delighted.

swevene

April 11 2011, 20:41:18 UTC 6 years ago

Wow, that's beautiful. I think it's the best one yet and they've all been amazing. It has a simplicity about it that's very compelling.

seanan_mcguire

April 12 2011, 00:18:12 UTC 6 years ago

Exactly!

geojlc

April 11 2011, 20:42:27 UTC 6 years ago

This cover, is, indeed, love! I can't wait to see it in person!

seanan_mcguire

April 12 2011, 00:18:29 UTC 6 years ago

Neither can I. :)

faithfulcynic

April 11 2011, 20:51:47 UTC 6 years ago

Love it!

seanan_mcguire

April 12 2011, 00:18:55 UTC 6 years ago
