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.

Behold the pretty:

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD IT'S THE COVER TO THE WINTER LONG AND IT'S GORGEOUS!

Toby is badass and there's blood everywhere and she's painting the roses red with bleeding and she looks like she's about to cut somebody and and and I'M SO HAPPY!!!!

What do you think?

Wow. I love all the covers to Toby's books (only slightly less than I love their contents), but this one definitely has an impact I haven't seen yet. Looking from the top down, I was just like: Winter, check, nice arch, Toby looking dangerous/needing coffee, check, red shirt, rose, wait HOLD UP - scratch that, bloody white shirt, blood dripping on white roses - oh. Oh. OH. Dang. Something serious is going down here (par for the course for Toby, right?). I didn't even notice the knife until I saw a comment about it, but it looks like a fang. Anyway, very cool!

Also, I cannot express how excited I am that this comes out on my birthday. BEST. BIRTHDAY. PRESENT. EVER. And a fitting tribute to the birthday unending, I think!
