Kat Cover!!!!!

Sep. 30th, 2009 at 8:05 PM

Yayyyy!!!! I just got the final cover image for A Most Improper Magick, by the wonderful artist Barnaby Ward, and I LOVE it! Better yet, I get to share it with you guys right away.

Here's the front cover on its own:

And here's the full jacket, including flaps:

I am soooooo happy about this! :)

Congratulaions!

(And I note the young blond woman on the back is a dead ringer for Gwyneth Paltrow in Emma!)

What fun!

Oh, this is so good! I love the contrast between Kat and her sisters, love the colors, love the lettering. Love the "UN" up at the top.

Oh my goodness! Not what I had expected, but I love it! And what a contrast between Kat on the front and her sisters on the back! That's definitely going to catch eyes on the shelf! :-D

Wow, awesome--very cool. I love the little insertion of the "un" in the series title (and the way the spine of the book is designed)

You, my friend, have been blessed. This cover is going to POP off the shelves. I just showed it to a few friends and they are all flipping their shizz over it. Just. Like. Me. I also love its kind of late 60s illustration feel!
