THE WINTER LONG cover release!

Psst. C'mere.

So it's no secret that I love the covers DAW gives me, and that showing them off is one of my true pure joys in life. Chris McGrath has been designing Toby covers for eight books now, and he's amazing. Like, seriously amazing. Want proof?

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Both Chris and Aly make your characters look strong, confident and sexy. Which they are, of course, but it's great to see fantasy novels with cover pictures which are as beautiful as this and not falling back on tired sexist clichés.

You do put poor Toby through the wringer a bit though, don't you. :)

iTunes clearly approves of this, because it was playing the middle of Not While I'm Around when I clicked the link.

It's stunning!

Been trying to leave a comment forever, because I was trying not to go AHHHHHHHHH at work over this amazing cover and then.... the symbolism of the cover hit me. It went "Oh dear... what do blood and roses remind me of?" And then I went ".....nothing good." I have a feeling we're going to see Toby's dear dear mother?
