Rose Under Fire paperback cover reveal!

[ewein2412]

Rose Under Fire has been given a makeover for the U.S. paperback edition and I've been given the go-ahead to show it off! What do you think?



I love how it echoes the look of the Code Name Verity paperback without being too heavyhanded about the imagery.



It's due out 10 September 2014.

I love it. More than the hardcover, which I thought was gorgeous. But I love the ambiguity of the petals (I can think of so many other things they look almost like), and the plane, and the SKY.

[ewein2412]

yes, I love it too. I was never really a fan of the gate on the hardback, which I happen to know is the gate at Dachau, though the sky on both covers is FANTASTIC. I love how the sky is foregrounded (so to speak) here. They wanted a bi-plane so we tried to get it to look like a Soviet Po2, such as the Night Witches flew!

Oh, YES. I only have Rose on my kindle, but she'll be on the shelf next to Verity come September.

lovely! sorry about the LJ login - I know how that feels (yes, I have 4 LJ accounts... ??!)

Ooh, look! Chrome remembered my password! I still don't know what it is, of course.

hah!

Lovely cover. Just very nice.

I keep meaning to ask if you have any plans for any more books in this continuity, because I do so love Rose and Jamie and Maddie and all of their friends, relations and general everyone in their lives. I would love to see a story ten years down the road, or twenty. (Does Rose ever go home ever again? What happens to the other rabbits down the line? Etc. Etc. Etc.)

I do kind of know in my head what happens to them. I have an idea for a story that takes place in the early 70s and features the next generation, as it were. But I don't know if I'll ever write it!

Those are gorgeous. I bought the British paperbacks in Stirling last fall, but now I want the American ones!

[ewein2412]

one of the things that always amazes me about readers is their desires for multiple copies! Also nice to know that the books were available in Stirling, which is practically local. :D

Wow, it's gorgeous. I finally got a hardcover of Rose (it's sitting right here by my bed, actually); I read it when it was first released on Kindle and I really want to read it again on paper - it's such a different reading experience for me. But I'm having trouble making up my mind to actually *start reading* because I want to, badly, but I know it's going to be all FEELS and TEARS again. How you managed to actually write the thing without drowning in emotion, I'll never know.

[ewein2412]

It was hard to write, for sure. Part of the reason for the Paris hotel context was to allow me a little distance when I put my head into Rose's headspace!

Gorgeous Cover

You get the best covers. It took me a moment to see the plane, and when I did, it made me smile. The two paperbacks go together very well. I'm looking forward to the third one. It's nice to see you posting more regularly too.

I wish I was better at posting - I am feeling kind of overwhelmed. Whenever I have a great day out I take loads of pictures but never get around to posting them! I love reading your blog and envy your dedication (as well as your location :D ).

Ah, looks lovely!

thanks!
