MAGIC FOR NOTHING cover reveal!: seanan

MAGIC FOR NOTHING cover reveal!

Here we go again.

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, the artist who does the art for the InCryptid books, has been hugely involved in setting the look of the series, and he just keeps on getting better. Want proof?

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Behold the pretty:

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD IT'S THE COVER TO MAGIC FOR NOTHING AND IT'S GORGEOUS!

One of the best things about working with Aly is the way he always brings his artistic sensibilities to the table (and they are, after all, why we chose him), while still making the characters look different, vibrant, and alive. I am so excited to see Antimony like this. I can't wait for you to meet her.

Magic for Nothing will be released by DAW Books on March 7th, 2017. I could not be happier right now. What do you think?

(As always, I claim full comment amnesty, although I love it when you comment, because I can show my cover artists and make them happy.)

My previous comment inspired me.

Please enjoy this parody of the Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing", which of course is called "Magic For Nothing" after your book, Ms. McGuire. It's about the Price family, and all standard disclaimers apply.

I want my tricks for free-
I want my,
I want my tricks for free....
I want my,
I want my tricks for free-
I want my,
I want my tricks for free....)

Now look at these lindworms, that’s the way you do it;
They have dens underground so folks can’t see.
If Sarah’s workin', here’s the way she’ll do it:
Magic for nothin', and your tricks for free.
If that ain’t workin', there’s how the Prices do it;
Lemme tell ya, they sure ain’t dumb.
Workin' ’til there’s blisters on their little fingers,
Workin' ‘til there’s blisters on their thumbs.

We gotta save these folks from the Coven*,
We’re not in it for the fame or prai-ai-ai-ai-aise!
We’ve got to move these Pliny’s Gorgons
Far away from that cockatrice’s gaaaaaaze!

See the Sasquatch with the earring and the shave job?
Yeah buddy, that’s his own hair.
That Sasquatch’s got his own jet airplane,
That Sasquatch sure is a millionaire.

We gotta save these folks from the Coven,
We’re not in it for the fame or prai-ai-ai-ai-aise!
We gotta move the wadjet and Aeslin
Far away from the dire boar’s raaaaage!

I should’ve run so long and far;
Responsibility’s so darn dumb.
Look at my partner, stickin’ with the cameras;
Aw man, we really had some fun.
If that ain’t workin', here’s the way you do it:
Get your magic for nothin', your tricks for free.

We gotta save these folks from the Coven,
We’re not in it for the fame or prai-ai-ai-ai-aise!
We got to keep these yowies and frickins
Far away from the border imps’ raaaaaage!

If that ain’t workin', here’s the way you do it;
Try some explosives and manic glee.
That ain’t workin', here’s the way you do it:
Magic for nothin', and tricks for free.
(I want my, I want my, I want my tricks for free!)
Magic for nothin', tricks for free!
(I want my, I want my, I want my tricks for free!)
Magic for nothin', tricks for free!

(*I apologize for butchering the Covenant’s name. I had to make it rhyme with “oven” somehow.)
