Sweet Misfortune Cover

To me, one of the best parts about writing books is getting to see what the amazing design folks come up with for cover-art. Usually, when I'm first seeing one of my covers for the first time, I just and stare at it for like 2 hours, familiarizing myself with every square millimeter. So I just finished another two-hour stare session, and I'm happy to report that I love every square millimeter of the Sweet Misfortune cover! The book is not due out until June 2010 (which, by the way, is already a 2 month pull-in from the original planned date), and yet the cover is already set. Gotta love the planning/scheduling that goes into getting a book to market! It really is an amazing process, and the Hachette team seems to have it down to a science.
