Man, more than four weeks without a post. I know, that was pretty derelict of me–but I have excuses, I swear! The trouble all started at work, when a brand new server (whose maker shall remain nameless, but I’ll give you a hint: it rhymes with “hell”) went belly up after only six weeks in operation.

Looks like Stephen Youll, sci-fi artist extraordinaire, has been working overtime. So without further ado, please allow me to present his cover art for PRODIGAL!

It’s amazing what you can find out when surfing Amazon’s website. Take Hammerjack, for instance–I had absolutely no idea that Bantam was doing a mass market paperback release until my wife checked the listings there and said, “Hey, hon–what’s this?”
Ah, the speed of information in the digital age!
Anyway, it’s official: the li’l paperback edition goes on sale August 29. The cover art isn’t posted yet, but I imagine it’ll be a smaller version of the trade ...
