Honourkeeper gets a cover!
First of all a little fanfare - this is the 100th post on NickKyme.com.
Woo-hoo!
Ahem... okay, so on to business. My apologies for leaving it so long until this post, but I have been neck-deep in Salamanders. More on that subject in a subsequent post (number 101, no less...).
Sorry to short change you a little again (especially after such a long absence), but this post is going to be quite short. Suffice it to say, I recently received the cover flat for my forthcoming dwarf novel, Honourkeeper, and thought I'd share it with you...
For those not in the know, cover flats are basically the front and back cover of a novel that's used for marketing and promotional purposes. I'm actually quite lucky with the cover flats I get, as I get to see and approve the text on the back of the them (the 'blurb' as it's known), before they go out to print. And, as my esteemed friend Mr Parker pointed out in a similar post to this one a few months ago, not all authors are afforded that luxury.
Anyway, enjoy an advance look at this. Hopefully, next time you see it it'll be wrapped around a book.
Honourkeeper is released in April 2009, by the way. Fans of Oathbreaker and Grudgelore (and even Grudgebearer, Gav Thorpe's dwarf novel), should check it out.
Woo-hoo!

Well i'll be first to pass on the love for fantasy then!
Looking good Nick, can't wait. It'll fit seamlessly on my shelf next to Oathbreaker - provided it's signed, of course! ;)
And congratulations on your 100th blog post, long may it continue.
Thanks, Andy. Yeah, I'm looking forward to this one, too. And I'd be delighted to sign it, of course. :-)
I've been a bit slack with posting of late, so that's something I need to rectify. Mainly, it's been due to a bit of overseas travel and finishing off the Salamanders short for Heroes of the Space Marines. But that's all in the bag now, so expect something today or tomorrow on the blog.
