Many folks have asked when the cover of Chain of Thorns will be released. Friends, that is not up to me but my publisher! I am very excited for you to see it so I’ll reveal one cool thing about it here: It’s double-sided, meaning there are in essence “two covers” — you will be able to flip over the cover and use the inside art as the cover if you want to. The inside art is also gorgeous. (This of course applies to the hardcover, since paperbacks don’t have jackets!)
Mostly right now I’m finishing up Sword Catcher — not that it will be done after it’s handed in; because it’s a totally invented new world, I’m going to be working with conlangers to invent new languages for the different countries that make up the world, and with mapmakers to create a map of Castellane, the city in which Sword Catcher takes place, and Dannemore, the continent that contains Castellane. (Castellane is a city-state, so is it’s own country and city at the same time.) I’m also working with a very cool artist to start debuting pictures of the characters, so you can start to get to know them a bit. March’s newsletter is going to be entirely devoted to Sword Catcher, so keep an eye out for that.
Meanwhile, here’s a tiny snippet:
