Gorgeous covers:




These are the Bibliopolis editions.


The Year's Best Fantasy #7, with "The Potter's Daughter," looks like it's going to be nice, but so far I've just seen the tiny version:

Just noticed this: Bibliopolis has the cover up for the Spanish edition of The Element of Fire, and it's really gorgeous. Click on the smaller version to see the full size.

In email Laura asked: Is there any likelihood that Martha will collect and publish together her Il-Rien short stories? I generally don't like short stories, but I like her Il-Rien work so much, I would be interested in such a collection. What about another novel featuring Il-Rien?

It's probably not very likely, as short story collections don't generally sell very well, so most publishers aren't interested in publishing them, unless they're from very popular authors. Also, the Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy didn't sell very well, so the publisher isn't interested in any more Ile-Rien books. I do have an Ile-Rien short story in the anthology Elemental, and there will be at least two trilogy prequel stories about Giliead and Ilias in the magazine Black Gate. Anyway, thanks, and I'm glad you like Ile-Rien.

My dog's surgery went well, and I'm picking him up later this afternoon. That's a huge relief.

I can't remember if I posted about this or not, but Bibliopolis is publishing the Spanish edition of The Death of the Necromancer and the cover is absolutely gorgeous and the whole package is beautiful. When I have a chance I'll scan it and post it on the web site. It's a complete contrast to Rachel Caine's latest foreign cover.


ETA: Hah, just found it on their web site. You can click on the smaller version to get a larger image.
