New Releases, a visit to various author sites, from the reader and a bunch of other great information. At least I think so.

Check out what Tez Says has found. It’s the newest Anita Blake cover, this time for Bullet. I’m still not totally sold on these new covers, but at least this time around, the item on the cover has something to do with the title and perhaps the contents. She also has the cover for Jessica Verday’s The Haunted.

I hope everyone is having a great start to the New Year. To start off the first Escapist Newsletter of the new year, we have the cover for King Maker by Maurice Broaddus, the first book in his Knights of Breton Court trilogy, which will be released March 4, 2010. Make sure you click on the image and enlarge it because it has some spectacular detail on it. I’m in love with the dragon on the building.

There are days I really do feel like this. Isn’t this illustration awesome. It’s the cover for the story A Memory of Wind by Rachel Swirsky that is currently up at Tor.com. The image itself is from Sam Weber, but I am seriously digging this. There have been too many days where it has felt like my brain was flying away and this just so depicts that.

Jennifer Estep has unveiled the cover for her upcoming novel, Spider Bite, which is the first book in her new Elemental Assassin series. Spider Bite will be released January 26, 2010.

There’s been quite a few additions to the New Release page, which I posted a couple days ago, but here are some that have popped up since then…

I’m not sure if I’m digging the colors or not, but SciFiGuy has found a new cover. Ghosts & Echoes is the second book in Lyn Benedict’s Shadow Inquiries series, which releases April 27, 2010. The first book in the series is Sins and Shadows.
