Cover Art for DRINK, SLAY, LOVE!!!
Got an email from my editor with the most gorgeous present ever -- the cover art for my next YA novel, DRINK, SLAY, LOVE! I am deliriously in love with it, and I can't wait to share it with you. So without further ado...
(Please pat your hands on your lap so we have drum roll sound effects. Also, imagine a red velvet curtain raising up. And maybe a few trumpets.)
... the cover art for DRINK, SLAY, LOVE!
*swoon*
I love, love, love it! It fits the novel so perfectly! That's Pearl with her never-seen-the-sun skin and beautiful black hair and sardonic smile. You see, this is how the book opens:
"One hour until dawn," Pearl said. She leapt off the roof and landed catlike on the pavement. "Oodles of time, if we steal a car."
This cover is totally her.
DRINK, SLAY, LOVE is about Pearl, a vampire girl who develops a conscience after she is stabbed through the heart by a unicorn's horn. It's coming out September 13, 2011 from Simon & Schuster / McElderry Books.
I don't know the names of the cover artists/designers yet, but whoever you are... I think you are brilliant!!! Thank you (and everyone at Simon & Schuster) for this gorgeousness.
So... what do you guys think??? Do you like it?

I like this very much. It reminds me a touch of the cover of Heist Society--but I think that's just the smile. I also LOVE the title.
I'm now even more excited to read it!
Q: So glad you like it (and the title)! Heist Society was excellent. Also love the Gallagher Girls books.
You always have some of the best covers on the shelves. This one is definitely intriguing!
Jay: Thanks so much! I feel immensely lucky. The cover folks are BRILLIANT.
Ha I love it! Can't wait to read it. :D
That is one of the most gorgeous covers I've seen revealed recently! I would go straight for that book if I saw it on a store's shelf!
Oh my gosh, it's SPECTACULAR, and I love the title even more! Can't wait to read it. :)
WOW. I normally dislike Vampire books but, this cover and the fact that Unicorns are in it, i'll LOVE it when i read it, if its out in the UK.
I'm so happy for you Sarah!
RichLayers: Thanks! It makes me smile every time I look at it.
KatieDoll: Great to hear! I think the S&S cover folk did such a fantastic job.
Lauren: Thanks! I can't wait for people to read it. It was soooo much fun to write. One of my best writing experiences ever.
Laura: They're kick-butt unicorns too. Those horns aren't just for show. :)
Oh, wow! Of the covers I thought would go on your book, it never occurred to me that a picture like that would do it! Good grief, who are these cover designers, and where do they get their creativity? I want to pick their brains!
Very very cool. A little sexy and a lot tantalizing! Can't wait to read it!
Lauren B: I don't know the designers' names, but I totally worship them. The balance of colors, the font choice... So glad you like the cover too!
Chelsea: Thanks!! Now I need to go shopping. I don't own any clothes that are cool enough to wear while signing a book that looks like this.
I really want to come to a signing when your signing this one. =)
Really like it!!! Best of luck.
I like it! :o)
Yeah, I think it's a great cover!
Pen, Tarie, and Lisa: So happy you like it! Thank you!!
Three words: Oh. My. Gosh
It looks soooooo amazing! I love it!!!
I'm excited to hear about your new book and look forward to reading every new book of yours...just one question: Is "Out of the Wild" EVER going to have a paperback release!?
Welcome to Cover Crazy. You should really post your cover link on the "linky tool" so more peeps will check it out.
I really enjoy this one. The spin off the Eat, Pray, Love title fits perfectly with the theme of this book.
Great choice!
Gorgeous!
