List of stuff that’s happened in my career lately in lieu of a full blog post:
Just got Bantam’s cover art for Lilly’s Song, and it kicks ass (will post as soon as they confirm I can post it to the web). I got an equally kick-ass blurb from George R. R. Martin for it:
S.A. Swann has written a spellbinding fantasy of the Teutonic Knights and the great Northern Crusade, set in a little-known period of history amidst the gloomy forests of Prussia and Lithuania. Vivid and visceral, dark and delicious, this one kept me turning pages from start to finish.
This comes on the heels of the one from Mary Balogh:
A mesmerizing story that entertained me thoroughly and moved me deeply. Lilly’s Song is an exciting, non-stop action adventure involving the supernatural. More than that, though, it demonstrates how the human spirit, even when in a not-entirely-human body, can be transformed and redeemed by the power of love. I adored this book.
Add to this, the fact that I’ve sold the French rights to it already, I have a good feeling about this book.
