Great news guys! Nightshade and Wolfsbane have been nominated for the 2010 Urban Fantasy Cover Art Awards. I love the covers that Suza Scalora and the designers at Penguin created so much and I would be so, so grateful if you'd stop by All Things Urban Fantasy and vote for them!
Nightshade has been nominated for:
Best YA Paranormal Cover
Best Debut Cover
and (drumroll!) Cover of the Year!!
Wolfsbane has been nominated for:
Best Sneak Peek Cover for 2011
I'm so thrilled about these nominations. I'd be even more thrilled if you'd vote for Calla :) Plus - if you vote you'll have the chance to win some fantastic prizes!
Thank you so much for the nominations and all the cover love!
I read the review of your book by Julia Keller in the Chicago Tribune. I'm a school librarian and thought it sounded great. I am the librarian at an all boys high school and they are always looking for a new fantasy series. Having a strong female character was an extra added bonus. I went to Amazon to purchase the book but as soon as I saw the cover I backed off. It would be very tough to get a teenage boy to check out this book based on the cover, as beautiful as it may be. If you could release it with another cover that would be more appealing to both sexes I would buy it. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteAndrea, your covers are gorgeous! They definitely deserve to win. Fingers crossed for you! (Regardless, you know you were blessed with FABULOUS covers for your work. YAY!)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteHi MJ,
Thanks for your comment (and for being a librarian!!) I'm sorry to hear your think that boys wouldn't pick up the book - especially since I already have lots of boy readers writing to me that they've read and loved the book. As to a different cover release that seems unlikely given how popular the current cover is. I'm sorry if that's disappointing. I do appreciate your taking the time to check out the book!
Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I voted for you, your covers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the nominations! I'm a huge fan of the book and both covers. Really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the nominations! You totally deserve them, I'm such a huge fan! You have my votes! :)
