Kick-ass cover-art for Cory's next novel


My next novel is called "Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town, and Tor Books will publish it next spring (here's an
excerpt). It's a bit of a departure for me: it's a fantasy novel -- well, more of a magic realist thing, actually -- about community wireless networking. I'm really happy with how it's come out. Really, really happy.

Happy as I am with it, I'm unbelievably ecstatic over the cover-art. Tor Books commissioned superstar Dave McKean (whom you may know from the covers of Neil Gaiman's Sandman books), and then the genius art-director Irene Gallo applied her skill and turned it into this wonderful work of art (my editor's strapline, "A miraculous novel of secrets, lies, magic -- and Internet connectivity" doesn't hurt either!).

Colour me ecstatic. 336K JPEG Link
