My US publisher, Soho Teen, have come up with an amazing cover for My Sister Rosa. Feast your eyes:
What do you think? I love it. I love the echoes of the famous Silence of the Lambs poster. It also reminds me of the cover of my parents’ edition of John Fowles’ The Collector, which I read as a kid, which I can’t find online. Boo! Which also had a pinned butterfly. It’s a wonderful evocation of psychopathy. Well done!
I honestly can’t decide which cover I like best: the Australian one or the US one.
My Sister Rosa will be out in the US in November. You can read the first chapter here and more about where I got the idea here.
Meanwhile it will be out in Australia and New Zealand in two weeks. SO SOON!
Update: I forgot to say who the cover designer is. Vanessa Han. Doesn’t she do fab work?
Will this book be released as an ebook ?
Yes, it will. All my most recent books are available as ebooks. Ebooks are standard now.
I’m asking because I couldn’t find a kindle version of Razorhurst on amazon.
Where are you? Because there’s definitely a kindle edition: http://www.amazon.com/Razorhurst-Justine-Larbalestier-ebook/dp/B00N6PCHWU/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
I’m in France. The link tells me that “this title is not currently available for purchase”. And it’s not showing at all on french amazon. Anyway I bought it in paperback so it doesn’t really matter but I really hope I’ll be able to buy My sister Rosa as a kindle.
The rights to Razorhurst have only sold in North America and ANZ. So those are the only territories where you can buy an electronic version. It’s a rights thing. Though if it had sold in France it would be a French-language ebook that would be available. Sorry.
Thanks for buying it in the paper form!
