Man, I LOVE checking my email and getting that one from my editor that says, “You can share your cover now!” And then I LOVE sending one back to her that basically says, “EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” And then I LOVE getting one back minutes later that says, “I thought that would make you happy!”
People I may have bugged unrelenetlessly about showing my cover to the world: my awesome editor.
But! It’s so wonderful, you guys! I couldn’t help myself. My editor and the cover designer worked really hard to make the face of the book perfectly reflect the text on the inside and they did it. They just totally did it. And they went through many rejected covers to do it.
I don’t even know what else to say. I’m EXCITED! I REALLY love this cover.
THANK YOU, St. Martin’s Press!
Okay, enough segue! Here it is:
That’s Regina, you guys. That is totally how she is described. And the red locker! Aaah! It has some significance that I will not spoil for you, but I’m so glad that red locker found its way onto the book cover, because it REALLY pops in person. That red locker is 99% of the reason I’ve been making out with my ARCs non-stop since I got them.
AND because I can show you what the cover looks like, I can now show you the ARCs, which are even prettier in person–the colour of the sweater, the locker are so vivid. Except I kind of washed them out with the flash, which is a biproduct of the environmentally friendly lighting system in our house. But trust me: VIVID. And totally sexy.
!!!
By the way, have YOU entered my contest for your chance to win this cover? I mean, ARC?

It’s gorgeous! I love the red. Why is January so far away!?
I think it’s cool that you love your cover and didn’t have to go through the whole controversy that Justine did. That’s my biggest fear when it comes to publishing traditionally and then it came to life…
Thank you everyone, so much, for all the cover love! I’m glad to see it so well received, and I know my editor is too. :)
Brian, it was neat to see that. :)
Celise, my cover experience was indeed, controversy free. I’m glad Justine’s experience eventually saw a positive resolution. I think the new cover of Liar is wonderful.
OMGGGGGGGGGG love it!!! YAY! =D
I love the cover. It’s even better than I expected it to be. Red lockers? Hmm so cool.
Seriously, I wish I could dash to your house and steal one of the ARCs away!
I love it! Beautiful! If I were in High School, I’d be tempted to paint my locker red and take a black sharpie and write “A Novel” on it, in honor of you.
How awesome. I feel like I’ve done that pose a million times – just leaning up against my locker with friends around, probably looking pissed since it’s morning. Just one more reason to pick it up! Excitement :) <3
That is an awesome, eye-catching cover!!! Hooray! St. Martin’s design team rules.
p.s. Trying to remember the teaser cover you showed, but it has been overshadowed by the brilliance of the real cover, so I cannot.
Aaah, you guys, you rock! Thank you.
(Sandmore: LULZ!!!!)
That is a really great, eye-catching cover. Love it.
i want one!
Thank you, guys!!!
