CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT cover release!

[seanan_mcguire]

Psst. C'mere.

So it's no secret that I love the covers DAW gives me, and that showing them off is one of my true pure joys in life. Chris McGrath has been designing Toby covers for seven books now, and he's amazing. Like, seriously amazing. Want proof?

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Behold the pretty:



OH MY GOD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD IT'S THE COVER TO CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT AND IT'S GORGEOUS!

When I grow up, Chris McGrath is going to design the covers for my books. He doesn't know this yet. But he will.

This is seriously beautiful. *hearts* So much attitude in one cover!

Hee!

Toby, a knife, and a mysterious library. It's everything I ever wanted!

[maverick-weirdo.livejournal.com]

Actually she is duel wielding.
I seem to remember her having a matched pair of knives one silver one iron, or something like that.

I think this is my favourite one yet.

thank you, I kept trying to figure out what was in her other hand, and could only make out the dark handle, so I couldn't figure out if it was a flashlight, or an oddly-shaped bell (chimes?), or some object we'd find out about when we read the tale, or what.

Fantastic cover... but I think I squee'd louder at the blurb from Ms Day :)

Eeeee. Absolutely stunning. Love Toby's expression!

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

In the worldwide lottery of cover artists, you really did come up a winner. Gorgeous as always!

[dimestore-romeo.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh! Practical clothes! Books! Having a fabulous expression and a battle stance! And mostly importantly, sweet little pointy ears peeping out of her hair. :P

I love how Toby looks progressively more elven. Err, fae.

Which is the silver blade and which is the iron? Or are those a Completely Different Set of Daggers then the ones that killed Blind Michael?

[beasting-quest.livejournal.com]

It's awesome! Though it was a tad more awesome the two seconds I thought Toby was holding a fish in her right hand...

Oh no! Library of Dooom!

Can I travel ahead in time and buy a copy now?

Nah, better read Midnight Blue Light Special first. Got to be fair to Verity.

Purdy! I want the library she's in. Is this a photomanip, or art so brilliantly done it only looks like a photo?

Just a comment: it seems like Toby's face is drawn differently on the cover of each book.

[jimhines.livejournal.com]

Love it!!!

[hoppytoad79.livejournal.com]

I was thinking that, too. The blade is hard to see.

[emerald-ibis.livejournal.com]

YES!!!!!!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I am so lucky.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

She is in a book place!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Me, too!
