VELVETEEN VS. THE MULTIVERSE cover reveal and update.

So I know you've all been waiting anxiously to see the cover of Velveteen vs. The Multiverse, and I am delighted to finally be able to oblige you. But! Nothing beautiful comes without a cost, and so I must regretfully inform you all that, due to production issues, Velveteen vs. The Multiverse has been delayed slightly, and will not be available at Musecon. Believe me, no one is more disappointed than I am.

Pre-orders are available now, and you can find the information here:

http://isficpress.com/multiverse.php

You may notice that the cover price has increased, from $25 for the first volume to $30. Well, that's because this volume is literally twice as long, and thus cost more to print. You are getting so much extra bang for your buck, I can't even begin to express my joy.

And now, behold the pretty:

vel_lj


OH MY GOD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD IT'S THE COVER TO VELVETEEN VS. THE MULTIVERSE AND IT'S GORGEOUS!

All the versions of Velveteen are there, Marionette and Roadkill and everybody! I could not be happier.

What do you think?

I noticed the price increase and assumed the book was longer, but TWICE as long? AWESOME!!

Yay cover!! I hope I get it before I leave for Texas so I can read it on the plane and get you to sign it in San Antonioooooooo.

Yeah, I opened the .ms files to confirm, and it's 114,000 words vs. 57,000 words. Like, literally twice as long.

Douglas Klauba. Bob Garcia, who has been doing our layouts, has worked with him for some time and recommended him. And he did a lovely job...

That is amazing!
Though Vel fills out her costume a bit more than I imagined. o.0

seanan_mcguire

July 29 2013, 14:52:27 UTC 3 years ago

She's always described as a pretty curvy girl. It's Jackie who's really quite thin.

You were so happy about this at comic con and YOU DID NOT OVERSELL.

Ooooo, I really like how Velveteen looks more severe in this one. Shit is coming to a head and our playful mistress of the toybox is ready for it! =D

seanan_mcguire

July 29 2013, 14:52:37 UTC 3 years ago

VICTORY!

Yay!

It's a must have! Between this & a backup copy of RR&DT you're getting all my.money and I'm at peace with that.

seanan_mcguire

July 29 2013, 14:53:08 UTC 3 years ago

I'm cool with this arrangement.

WOOO SHINY!!!!!!!

(I will be getting it in an e-edition, assuming there is one like there was for Vs the Multiverse, but I still appreciate the shiny cover art)

That looks fabulous! Not exactly how I pictured her in my head, but totally within the same general area, so yay, me, lol.

I really love this cover.

dillen_dagen

July 29 2013, 01:57:42 UTC 3 years ago

Love this! Will absolutely and happily pay more for this longer dine on the Velveteen world. Can't wait for the ebook edition so I can haul it to Dragoncon. Will the Ebook edition also be coming out mid August? It doesn't seem to be in the Barnes and Noble or Amazon lists yet.

dewline

July 29 2013, 02:03:19 UTC 3 years ago

I note that the first volume is available in Kobo e-book format from Chapters/Indigo in Canada.

Just gorgeous, i love the way the "other" Vel's are split out by mirrors.

Cant wait to get this one - preordering means i get a surprise when i get home from work one day!

seanan_mcguire

July 29 2013, 14:55:15 UTC 3 years ago

I'm so thrilled with the whole design.

mathnerd

July 29 2013, 07:31:22 UTC 3 years ago

Awesome! Does this include ALL the Vel stories to-date?

seanan_mcguire

July 29 2013, 14:55:34 UTC 3 years ago

Yes! Between the two volumes, all current stories will now be in print.

dewline

July 29 2013, 12:10:08 UTC 3 years ago

Between the two volumes, the answer would be "yes", if memory serves re: Seanan's plans.

seanan_mcguire

July 29 2013, 14:55:43 UTC 3 years ago

Yup.

groblek

July 29 2013, 12:14:01 UTC 3 years ago

That's a lovely cover! I just put in our preorder and look forward to the book when it's ready.

seanan_mcguire

July 29 2013, 14:55:50 UTC 3 years ago

Yay!

anne_d

July 29 2013, 13:08:19 UTC 3 years ago

Yay, book! Just let me know when and where to order my copy.

Might as well get my book-buying in before the Husband's company moves to Mojave or Burbank or Wisconsin or Outer Mongolia (or wherever the latest rumors take them)and he has to take early retirement...

anne_d

July 29 2013, 13:09:38 UTC 3 years ago

Oh. Oops. I can preorder a copy. *iz dumb* In my defense, it's 6AM here and I haven't even finished my first cup of tea.

Yay, more Velveteen! Two copies ordered. ^_^ (Yay, combined shipping! A perk of having local friends who also want all of your books.)

seanan_mcguire

July 29 2013, 14:56:23 UTC 3 years ago

Hooray!

Velveteeen vs. Worldcon

amberley

July 29 2013, 15:21:51 UTC 3 years ago

Awesome! Very nice cover. Ordered (twice). Is it likely to be at Worldcon?

seanan_mcguire

July 29 2013, 15:29:18 UTC 3 years ago

Hopefully, yes, although that depends on the publisher.
