two anthologies, two covers


I have stories appearing later this year in two anthologies published by [livejournal.com profile] norilanabooks. The first of these is Under the Rose, edited by Dave Hutchinson ([livejournal.com profile] hutch0), and this morning I saw the cover mockup for the book:

under the rose 1st mockup


The other is Sky Whales and Other Wonders, edited by Vera Nazarian ([livejournal.com profile] norilana). I posted the partial cover image a while ago; now the border has been completed, and there's only the lettering to come:

sky whales 2nd mockup


Needless to say, I'm chuffed to be in two such handsome vols!

Congratulations! Twice. They both look very handsome, indeed.

The cover art is stunningly beautiful for each! Congrats!

I need to add that the symbolism in the art is wonderful. Love it.

Excellent news, and great covers, especially the whales.

Congrats :)

they both have wonderful covers.

Wow. If the fiction is even half as good as these covers...

What fabulous covers, particularly Under the Rose!

Love, C.

Well, when you're reading the books you can always just skip my contributions . . .

[identity profile] realthog.livejournal.com 2009-06-25 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)

Yeah, I think I prefer that one too -- but they're both True Fab.

Clever people at work on both covers, I think!

[identity profile] realthog.livejournal.com 2009-06-25 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)

They are, aren't they?

[identity profile] realthog.livejournal.com 2009-06-25 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)

Well, the congrats shouldn't be directed at moi!

[identity profile] realthog.livejournal.com 2009-06-25 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)

It's particularly clever in the Under the Rose piece, although I've yet to spot a ceiling rose in there . . .

Well, the news of the story sales ain't exactly new! The covers are, though.

[identity profile] realthog.livejournal.com 2009-06-25 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)

Yep!

[identity profile] thisplacehere.livejournal.com 2009-06-25 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
As if I'd do that!

Lovely, lovely covers. Norilana always does beautiful work in that area. Their anthologies aren't bad either. ;-) Hugs and cheers, Jean Marie

They do seem to be building up an impressive range of anthos, don't they?

A new icon, I see!

Yaaay! :-) Though just a teeny minor correction, the UNDER THE ROSE you have there is the very first mockup that has since been tweaked, and the final cover is here.
