<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>Here\u2019s a look at the full wraparound jacket for Michael Moorcock\u2019s forthcoming THE METATEMPORAL DETECTIVE<\/a> from Pyr<\/a>. Front cover illustration and design by me, as well as spine art, and the overall jacket design is by Nicole Lecht. Pyr\u2019s latest newsletter features a few words from me about the book. It\u2019s available to anyone who registers at their site. However, here\u2019s a brief excerpt: \u201cI originally wanted to paint [Seaton Begg\u2019s companion] Taffy Sinclair on the cover too, but I designed the cover type as well, and I realized there was a balance between the picture and the words, and Taffy was upsetting that. I was refining the illustration and designing the type simultaneously, and I realized that Taffy was gonna get lost in the type so regretfully, he had to go. Even better, Mike was at my wedding in March and he was with me in the green room about ten minutes before I was gonna be married. So we\u2019re talking about the progress rough of the cover, and he said that he really dug it, but wished it had a female presence somewhere. It sure seemed like a sensible request since Rose Von Bek appears, but I couldn\u2019t figure out how to work her in without destroying the composition. I think Lou Anders was the one that said, \u2018What if she shows up on the spine?\u2019 So that sparked my solution for the spine and that separate piece of art wraps around partially to the back cover. So Rose is staring at the audience when the book sits spine-out on the shelf, which I think is very nice. If you\u2019re a fan of Moorcock and the Multiverse, you\u2019re gonna love this. Can\u2019t wait until Halloween when this hits the shelves.\u201d\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
