SPARROW HILL ROAD cover reveal.

Psst. C'mere.

So it's no secret around here that I love, love, love my DAW covers, or that showing them off is one of my true pure joys in life. Aly Fell, who designs the covers for the InCryptid books, has been everything I could have hoped for in a cover artist. He's incredible. Want proof?

Go ahead. Take a peek.

You cover artists continue capture the characters. I am in awe in how good your covers are.

Appreciative sigh. That is one dead gal who is more alive that far too many live girls in far too many cover illos. I'd love to take her Blues dancing. She's probably better at it than I am.

Yeah, I'm...mildly distressed by the fact that Rose, who is ACTUALLY DEAD, looks more alive than half the living characters on YA book covers.

What a perfect, lovely cover!

Wow. That...is incredibly cool!

Wow, that perfectly captures the mood! I've pre-ordered the book, but I still have to wait until next May to actually hold it in my sweaty little hands. (*pout*)

I will breathe. In time, I will have a copy of this for my very own, which I may loan to others, but mostly I will read it and make sure it always comes back to me.

I will be patient.

I really need to practice being patient.

I shrieked with glee when it turned up on my Tumblr dash and freaked out my roommate! Rose! And Gary!

I gasped. :-) So pretty, and so perfect.

Rose Marshall is maybe my favorite thing of yours, and the book is coming out right around my birthday, and this cover is lovely and perfect! I'm so excited and MUST OWN IT FOREVER!!!!! <3<3<3

Ooooooo. :D Well, I'll be buying THAT, then.

Hooray! I shall get to encounter Rose Marshall instead of just hearing of how cool she is!

And I concur, that is a most excellent cover artist.

Best cover artist is best. =) Delighted to see how well Aly Fell does by you and your characters.

The woman (not Jude, someone I hadn't talked to before) who answered the phone at Borderlands Books in SF last week hadn't heard "Indexing" was due out in book form in a few months. So I set her straight with the info. :) Fortunately, she did know about the upcoming Sparrow Hill collection and the new Incryptid novel!

...Does that Sparrow Hill cover download into a size big enough to be nice wallpaper on my laptop? Because I'm about to find out.

Also, I haven't seen or heard any mention of a book release party, and I know you just had one for _Parasite_,
so it was too soon for preorders with Borderlands, she said. But I feel fairly confident that official book party or not, copies of lovely new novels bought at Borderlands will eventually get signed by you at some point. I'm happy to wait. :)

P.S. I love the stylized chain saw that Mira drew on my copy of _Parasite_, along with the book quote you so graciously came back later and added. Awesome, awesome, awesome. It's the little things, you know?
(Big thing: I must get up at 7 p.m. to drive with my father to Montgomery for a continuing legal education class. I am not a morning person...Argh.)

I would expect not, given that it's very small? Official wallpapers, sized for use on most laptops/desktops, will be released around late April.
