This is the original cover for the hardcover from Tor.
May you have a merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday for however you celebrate this season. Wishing you the best of New Years as well. The two cats here are myself and my daughter. 🙂
My eBook publisher likes some of the covers I designed, so they asked if I might do the cover for The City of Cries. I’ve put up all six covers from books that illustrate “The City of Cries” on my Patreon page, and we’re discussing what people like, don’t like, what works, what doesn’t work, and so on. If you are on Patreon, or feel inclined to become one of my patrons, I’d really appreciate your input! Here is the link.
The picture here shows the cover my publisher designed (which I think looks fine). That’s the one they asked if I could consider doing something new.
