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.

Not that DAW routinely asks my opinion on these matters...

Hee.

Seriously, though, I think the Penguin house standard may be "print list only," and we're considered Penguin for this specific purpose.

What does "print list only" mean?

It means Late Eclipses made the NYT extended list, which appears online, but not in the actual print edition of the magazine.

She looks like Amy Pond, but with more angles on her face. But still very Pond-ish. It might be the hair?

All cute young redheads look like Amy Pond *g*. It's the hair, and the usual redhead colouring, and something about the face structure. I tend to get very confused when they don't all have Scottish accents...
