New Covers WOW!
As I believe I mentioned on here before, Macmillan have decided to produce new covers for the first four of my books. I guess they thought it about time what with, for example, Gridlinked now in its twelfth print run. Here are two of them. Please let me know what you think!

I would be lying if i said I wasn't extremely excited about this... (is that a bit sad?) I just need to see the next two images now. And then they need to get the rest of the series done as well...
Who is the artist?
That serves me right for commenting straight from the rss feed... I have just spotted the not about the artist...
Since I've read "The Skinner", I can certainly appreciate the new cover. However, if I was not familar with your work and I saw that in the bookstore...I would pass, because I would have thought it was a straight horror novel, which is not my thing. Although, I have to admit, I passed on TS a few times because of the original (American) cover. (I thought it was cheesy.) The new covers are good but incredibly creepy.
Holy cow, they are AMAZING!
Seriously, seriously good. That Skinner cover has moved very quickly up to the top of my favourite covers of your books, narrowly beating the French Skinner cover.
WOW.
Skinner is amazing, although i didn't image its head to be like that ( thought it should look more distorted-human. I may be tempted to buy them again!
Are these paperback reprints or HB (do they do HB reprints?)
Not half as excited about them as I am, David. Two more will be coming up soon.
Yup, teatime, the Skinner is definitely him. On the larger image you can also see where Ambel shot him with his blunderbuss.
Just maybe, Sean, the change will work to the good too and drag in a new market of readers.
Yup, you're right Mark, that French cover has been topped.
Anthony, I presume paperback, but it would be great if they did to a hardback one. There isn't really a decent one available.
Oh wow oh wow oh wow!
Ahah, Mr Sullivan will be selling prints of the cover pictures from his website, but presently being snowed under with work (is that any surprise?) will not have it all updated for a month or so.
Seriously, you get the coolest covers.
looking thru his website this Skinner is prob the most amazing accomplishment outta his whole lot. he tossed out the cliches for this sweet little doll.
head, and torso; so happy together.
"WOW" is just the word!!! Can't wait for Gridlinked...
Fantastic, love them!
Both are definitely great pieces of work. The Skinner picture has replaced the image in my head forever.
I'd love HB versions to replace the PB I have...the prints are tempting too
Cool covers. I'm trying to grasp where that particular imagery comes from in Cowl and I can't find it in my memory. I always felt the iconic imagery from that book would/should include Polly being pulled through time. Perhaps, in the next, next reprint.
Regardless, the covers have always been very good.
He's definitely read 'The Skinner'. He's got all the detail in there.
Love the skinner one.. Cowl not so much.. Would love to see what they did for the other two, esp Gridlinked..
Book of imagies... nuff said.
ttfn :-)
