Midcity, the fantastical Midwestern city in the Justine Jones: disillusionist trilogy, now has a fantastical online newspaper! There is actually a video interview there, conducted by a "Midcity Newscaster" played by a certain debut novelist. As you will see, this debut novelist will never make a living as an actress. 
Also, what did I discover on Amazon The cover to Double Cross, Book #2 in the Justine Jones: Disillusionist trilogy, which comes out this September. Look at Justine atop the Tangle, Midcity's mysterious and hated highway interchange. I actually don't think this is a final version, but rather a placeholder. But what the heck! It's up on Amazon!

ReplyDeleteDiogenes Teufelsdrockh rules!!
I really must try to get hold of the book once it comes out, but sofar I haven't found a dutch online bokstore where I can pre-order it :-(
Wow, love that cover, I hope it is the final one :D
ReplyDeleteSullivan: Oh, no! Does the Book Depository ship to the Netherlands? That would be really frustrating to not have books available when you want them.
ReplyDeleteBldd: Thanks!
Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteIt does ship to the Netherlands and I can pay with Paypal!!! (that's my one big problem with most foreign sites: usually you need a creditcard.)
This is going to be sooooo bad for my bankaccount, but gives so many new possibilities!
Will wait till after the weekend to see if maybe I'm lucky enough to have won your book but if I didn't I will be ordering it right away!
Oh, no! I will feel responsible if you wind up in the poorhouse, Sullivan! Good luck on the contests.
ReplyDeleteOh, NICE hair... when you said you got your hair cut, that wasn't quite what I was expecting. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the hair! ;) The newspaper site is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think you need a gossip columnist like the NY Post's Page 6. Mho always needs a job!
I like that cover. Looking at the newspaper site now (so cool!).
ReplyDeleteCarolyn:
ReplyDeleteYou are brilliant! I love the vid and newspaper site, I was ROFL. The new cover art is fabulous!!
I can't wait for book 2. Thank you so much for mentioning the contest!
Best
Chris: Surprise! I'm a natural blond.
ReplyDeleteKB: I bet Mho would know a lot of gossip!
Janicu: THanks!!
Lea: Hey, thanks for holding the contest, dude!!
Oh what fun! WORK THAT HAT, LADIES!
ReplyDeleteYour professor did a sterling job.
How did the lady journalist get her hair so shiny? Did she wash it in the river?
What an awesome cover for Double Cross! Lucky you! I have to say I like this one much more than that Little CJ or Miss Doreen versions. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat cover for Double Cross. I'll bet you were really surprised to find that on Amazon -- and excited! I would be!
ReplyDeleteOK, it may be a placeholder cover, but it's a great cover IMO!
ReplyDeleteAm so looking forward to reading Mind Games CJ! My library has purchased four copies and I'm at the top of the hold list *happy dance*
Hi Carolyn! Congrats on your book!!! And best of luck!! I'm sooooo grabbing a copy when it comes out.

Yet ANOTHER fantastic book cover, Carolyn! I love the way the city scape is so prominent... just awesome!!!! Congrats! :)
ReplyDeleteOff to check out the interview and newspaper. How clever!
Hi Carolyn - I don't remember if I already sent you an e-mail, but I just received Mind Games on Thursday. I started reading it Friday night and I am halfway through it already. I might have read it faster, but I also had my granddaughter for the weekend. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteone more thing, I'm passing along a blog award to you. (Beautiful Blogger) come over to my site to see the picture and a little more information. http://mardel-rabidreader.blogspot.com/2010/03/awards.html
Again, Great book!
What hair products does the reporter use? I want my hair that shiny!!
ReplyDeleteI like the Double Cross cover too - but not as much as that awesome hair!!
