Ooh... Pretty

We have a lot of fun at Spencer Hill, and one of the best bits is the back-and-forth as we design cover art. We finalized this one yesterday:


What do you think? It's the cover of the short story prequel for Half-Blood, and it'll be given away as a free e-book sometime this summer. There will also be a print version. I'll have the links up when it's available, and you can also add it to your "to read" list on Goodreads now. We're also kinda proud of the  other covers for the series:



Speaking of free, we still have the Graceling giveaway here: http://thedisgruntledbear.blogspot.com/2011/03/giveawaygraceling.html 
Comment for the chance to win a free book! BTW, I'm now planning to have at least one book giveaway each month, so keep checking back.

Happy Weekend!

It's beautiful! You guys did a great job! :)

BTW, this is a beautiful font (Zapfino), but it swoops so far above and below the other letters that it's torturous to work with in layouts.

Thanks, Emily!

Oooo! Pretty!! Very ethereal. I know you're not supposed to 'judge a book by its cover,' but I totally do anyway. If the cover art makes me cringe, I'm not likely to pick it up and read the back cover. But I'm instantly intrigued by these ones! :D

Ooh, maybe we should give away posters of these or something...

I saw the cover over on Jennifer's blog and thought it was gorgeous! Seeing all three of these covers together though makes this post overwhelmingly pretty. Spencer Hill is doing a fantastic job with the covers!

I am so speechless by the awesomeness of these book covers! Can I have a tote of all these on them? PRETTY PLEASE????

We'll see what we can do, Mindy! Right now we're considering posters.
