A couple days ago, we were pleased to show you David Mattingly’s painting that would become the cover for The Gathering Edge.
Today, we are pleased to share the comp cover, still smokin’ hot from the Baen Art Department.
Also! If viewing the art above has made you a little peckish, Cedar Sanderson has featured Daav yos’Phelium’s Extra Special Grilled Cheese Sandwiches in today’s Eat This While You Read That column. Here’s your link.
Also, also! Alliance of Equals has 40 reader reviews on Amazon! Only 160 to go! You guys are doing great.
And! (given “also” a rest, you see) Steve and I will be signing Alliance of Equals at Children’s Book Cellar, 52 Main Street, Waterville, Maine (our local indie bookstore) on Saturday, July 16 (that’s this Saturday!) at 2 p.m. If you’re in the area, come on by and say, “hi!”
The weatherbeans are calling for A Warm One, as Maine counts these things. I, of course, will be at the nice, air conditioned, hospital doing the volunteer gig. Steve and the cats will likely need to put the portable A/C unit in to play. Ah, summer. . .And, as Mainers say earnestly to each other, under just these sorts of conditions: “At least it ain’t snowin’.”
Hope you have a good day, wherever you are.
I love the new cover–very dramatic! I hope Theo’s on a rescue mission here, and not in peril herself, but time will tell the tale…
I really love the cover. Salvage job maybe? Time for some thrilling heroics? I found the cat!
This cover makes ME want to read this book even more than I already did. It looks like a tense moment.
Here in Charm City the current temp is 86 degrees with 72% humidity. Our Thursday night small boat racing at Rocky Point will be a hot one, though at least there’s supposed to be some wind. We’ll see.
