So my ARCs (Advanced Review Copies) of Dead Sky Morn­ing came in yes­ter­day. Oh dear. They are so pretty, I squealed the minute I saw them.

Now I’m not sure if Cre­ate Space has changed their cover con­sis­tency, but now the cov­ers seem to be semi-matte (or cer­tainly less glossy) which I think is a major bonus. I also love the black and red together, the thick­ness of the font on the spine, the blurb on the back (and inside) and just the way it all works together. It’s a pretty sexy book, I must say, and I’m really proud of it. It’s always an anx­ious moment wait­ing to see what your book looks like in your hand. But it looks great — feels great too. A nice, thick heavy book.

Dead Sky Morn­ing will be avail­able in paper­back and e-versions on Octo­ber 13th. Till then, there will be plenty of give­aways (includ­ing the one run­ning at GoodReads till Sept 13th).

If you’re a reviewer want­ing a copy of DSM to review for your­self, just drop me a line (see con­tact tab). Cheers!
