Psst. C'mere. Wanna see something really pretty? I mean, really pretty? I'll give you a hint: if you're a Toby fan, it's something you've been waiting for ever since the cover to An Artificial Night was released. I think you'll be pleased. I know I'm pleased.

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Behold the pretty:




OH MY GOD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD IT'S THE COVER TO LATE ECLIPSES AND IT'S GORGEOUS!

I really think this is the best one—and the most Toby one—yet.

What do you think?

Wow.

This is an amazing cover. And I particularly like the Campbell tag on the front.

I ADORE Toby's outfit!

Duuuude, Toby looks awesome! She's rocking the dress. And probably hating it.

Love the Campbell tag!

I can haz a Toby plz? *g*

That is srsly cool, and with the Campbell credit as well (are they going to reprint the others with that now, so our pre-Campbell ones will become collectors' copies?). So I've lost track, how many of the Toby books are bought now? I take it this means that Late Eclipses is welll in the pipeline, since it has a cover.

The last I remember, DAW had bought five.

I think that the number is going to go up at some time in the next six months. I don't have any inside knowledge; I'm just assuming that between "best new writer" and continued good sales, DAW isn't going to let go.

Can NOT wait! *bounces and squees* Gimme, gimme, gimme! Toby just gets Toby-er, on every cover, but that doesn't surprise me, because the illustrator is getting to know her better and better, just as we are. *g*

And I think the Campbell Award tag is just awesome. Way to remind EVERYONE that YOU are the Princess of the Tiara. ;)

OMIGODS OMIGODS THIS IS SO EXCITING! That is truly one of the prettiest book covers I have ever seen.

(Also, Toby looks like some of my cousins on my father's side, which is interesting to me.)

I think this may be the best-lit cover yet. Not that there's any reason that the previous covers should have had more light, just that I like covers with enough light for good contrast.

Toby looks very much herself, with the dress giving the impression of Court formal, the leather jacket as a symbol of her human side, and her knife and whatever-that-is in her right hand representing her heroic nature.

For a change of pace, she doesn't look like somebody magically decaffeinated all the coffee in the house.

I love the dress plus leather jacket thing. How very Toby. I assume the title will wind up some sort of OMG NEON like the other ones. It is a VERY awesome cover. Plus SQUEEEEE!!!! on the Campbell award note :-)

took 5 mins to load on son's little netbook, but worth the wait, As soon as I saw half the face I was thinking Toby is looking very Toby. I feel I'd recognise her in the street. I know you won't tell me what's with the orb she's holding, whether it's a receptacle, or belongs to a monarch's jewels. Lovely cover.

Is it an orb? I thought it was a goblet.

That cover is gorgeous. Toby's expression clearly says "Yes, I'm wearing a skirt and bodice, and if you make any sort of comment about it I will CUT YOU." Can't wait!

Also, "Yes, I'm still wearing Tybalt's jacket, and if you attempt to make any sort of comment about it I will cut you before the sound escapes your throat."

Love it.
