It seems like a big push to me...David Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545973293679502714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403226.post-1133485691535719472005-12-01T20:08:00.000-05:002005-12-01T20:08:00.000-05:00Nice looking book David!

And I've made it worse by coming up with an idea for a FIFTH book while writing the second one! So we'll have to see how this plays out.David Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545973293679502714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403226.post-1132206958527143542005-11-17T00:55:00.000-05:002005-11-17T00:55:00.000-05:00Nice piece of work.

Don't be surprised if they cajole you into turning the 4 into 3. <BR/>Mind you, I can talk - I'm writing book four now, and I'm also sitting on a three book contract ;-)<BR/>In another of those 'me too' moments, I just got the <A HREF="http://www.spacejock.com.au/Hal2.html" REL="nofollow">almost-final cover</A> for the next Spacejock novel. Different artist, different style but it'll look striking on the shelf.<BR/>Anyway, enough of that. Congrats on the artwork, the contract and the continued progress through the publishing maze. And here's hoping for many more novels.Simon Hayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660767551431793439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403226.post-1132081048741966912005-11-15T13:57:00.000-05:002005-11-15T13:57:00.000-05:00Hi David!The cover artist is a guy named Tristan S...Hi David!<BR/><BR/>The cover artist is a guy named Tristan Schane, and you can see more of his work here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.tristanschane.com/<BR/><BR/>As for how book three ends, I know that exactly! But that is not the end of the series. For some reason, even though I sent HarperCollins an outline for FOUR novels, they only gave me a contract for three. (And yes, I do know how book four ends too!)David Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545973293679502714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403226.post-1132077711012499372005-11-15T13:01:00.000-05:002005-11-15T13:01:00.000-05:00Very nice cover art, David!
