Covers and Blurbs

The blurb and rough version of the cover for Night of the Long Shadows has been posted on the Wizards of the Coast product catalog.

Nights of the Long Shadows: the three nights of the year when the darkest powers of the world gain strength and rise to prey upon the unwary. When one of Sharn’s most famed Inquisitives is hired to investigate a brutal murder at Morgrave University, his brilliance may be his damnation, as he uncovers a trail of blood leading from the seediest neighborhoods of the City of Towers to the highest reaches of power.

It's a great blurb. I tried my hand at writing one but it kept coming out too long. If I had any criticism (and it's a tiny moan, really) it's that I would have liked it to mention the other main character. The book is shared about 50-50 between the character mentioned above and another one from the "seediest neighborhoods of the City of Towers". But like I said, that's a tiny nitpick.


See that? That's a book cover. With my name on it. Consider me chuffed.

Isn't it cool? I can't wait to see the finished version. The artist really puts a lot of detail into his work.

That's for certain.

Also, you need to get yourself an IM program of some sort, man.

I can't wait to see the final version, too, nice and up close!
