shiny artwork

Tch, i posted this on facespace then forgot to add it here as well. Oh blogging, why are you so difficult?

Anyway, this is the beautiful shiny artwork for my upcoming book, "Home Ground", due to be released in the next month or so (fingers crossed, as always). The artwork is by the wonderful and talented Juan Moore, and i don't think i could be happier with the way it's turned out.

here are some things you probably didn't about Juan:

1. His name is pronounced the Manx way: Joo-ann. Which is a shame because it totally ruins all the "Juan Moore time" jokes we could be making.
2. He's officially designated as a National Treasure, as he's currently running an exhibition in the Manx Museum here in Douglas.
3. We very nearly share a birthday - he is one day younger than me. So as well as being a talented bastard, he's also a young whippersnapper. Dammit.

Also, if you ever do happen to meet him, ask to see the photograph he carries in his wallet. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
