BACK IN BLACK, BABY!
Yeah, the Black Monster (aka, the laptop) is back in business, thanks to Geek Squad and replacement of the screen, frame, and hinges. :headslap: While I was at it, though, I loaded it up with all the RAM it could eat, so yay. Back in business!

NEWS! ... I'm very pleased to announce that LINE OF SIGHT, the Athena Force novel that I wrote for 2007, has been recognized with an RT Reviewer's Choice Award for Best Continuity Novel! WOOOOOOOT! I belive this is the first professional award I've ever won, and I'm pretty darned excited.

In case you're saying, "Darn it, I should have picked that up!" ... well, you can get it here on Amazon's used book listings, or on their Kindle page, if you're into that kind of swanky stuff.

Next ... well, I know that I posted the new British Morganville covers, which were amazing (and GLOW IN THE DARK! Fer serious.)



Ahhhh, you took the bait. Silly you! But okay, I promised, so here they are, and they really are HAWT. Well, the first two are. The second two are confuzzling.

First, the Brit cover of ILL WIND (I think I might have posted it before, but if so, this is a refresher ...)


Mmm, tasty! Next: the British cover of HEAT STROKE ...


Awesome, eh?

.... And now, the big finish. The Russian covers. First, ILL WIND/HEAT STROKE:


I'll give you a moment. Now. Better? Okay. Here's CHILL FACTOR:


No. I don't have any idea. Do you? Mr. Cat says it's the Silver Surfer, in which case, COOL.



Aren't you glad you clicked that? I knew you would be.

Okay. Tomorrow, it's back to work, I swear! Look, my computer even opens and closes without cracking into pieces. It's auspicious, and suchly.

Cheers,

Rachel

The Russian covers are, um, special. It makes me wish I read Russian to find out if it really is the same book!

Those covers are so gorgeous. Well the UK ones. The others do look like the Silver Surfer.

Glad your laptop got fixed up too. Are you coming out for Comic Con?

The Russian covers look like recycled art from something else.

As far as I can tell from my very limited Russian, the titles are right...now let's just hope they're not over-translated. I can't picture Joanne desperately racing across the steppes in an '83 Lada.

LOL, the CHILL FACTOR cover looks like the Silver Surfer to me as well!

Congrats on the RT Reviewer's Choice Award! I think you're insanely under-appreciated. I love everything you write, so I think it's about time 'official' people start noticing, too!

And hooray for your laptop working again. :)

The Russian covers are a tad odd. But tentacle free.

I agree with Cat on the Russian ones, but despite the lack of anything to do with the story, they look cool, LOL!

British covers = sexxxy!

Russian covers = buh-wha??? Okay, the first one ... maybe, MAYBE I could see that being someone's idea of a d'jinn. And the second one, Silver Surfer? Catching a snitch?

It's the Silver Surfer playing quidditch minus a broom!

Ask him if he's got Snape's addy.

Here's how Muggles play according to CBS:

The UK covers are gorgeous but on the Ill Wind one... since when was Jo a brunette? xD I KNOW she has black hair. The Heat Stroke one is beautiful too.

The Russian covers are strange, Jo's not even on the cover xD Did the person who made the Russian ones even read them? xDDD
