Hurrah!

T4 has a cover! Clicky on the tumbnails as usual.

This was the initial cover concept:






And the final image (though they spelled Ann's name wrong, they're fixing that):






There are some things she's not crazy about, like the fact that the Black Forest in winter now looks like a corn field or a tropical jungle with those leaves surrounding Paula. Also that it doesn't say, 'A Novel in Verse' anymore. Darkening the color on the hands (which were initially Ann's idea!) seemed a bad choice but I think it'll look different when printed out.

I absolutely adore the logo drawn as a swastika; we were worried at first because, well, you can't really tell the title, but someone in a meeting said they didn't know what "T4" was anyway and that was the end of that! XD

Peace, Ghani

Oh, that is beautiful, very atmospheric. When is the book coming out?

Isn't it lovely? :-D

It's being published in the fall; we don't have an exact date yet but I was told that's really quick from when they accepted the manuscript to when it'll actually be released, and that they have a lot of faith in it to rush it out into a prime time of the year for kids' books! Yay! :-D
