Hello, 2007

Again, Happy New Year to all! Off to a good start — woke up this morning to find that SFSignal just released their 2006 Year-In-Review. Pleased to discover that COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO is amongst their top 10 books of 2006. Nice company there, with standouts like John Scalzi‘s THE GHOST BRIGADES…

Goodbye, 2006

Right now I’m working on a lot of covers for a lot of great books and I’ll unveil them here as I’m able. The holidays have flown by. Everyone in the blogosphere is doing their Year-In-Review thing right now. It’s the end of 2006 and I’m swamped, but I’d like to step back and offer…

Andy Wolverton’s Best of 2006

Busy month over here, so I’m just now getting to post about this. It’s fun reading people’s Best-of-2006 book selections. It’s even more fun when you see your own work listed.

THE HOLLOW EARTH

MonkeyBrain Books has just released a fresh new edition of the Rudy Rucker adventure classic THE HOLLOW EARTH, with cover illustration and design by me. Note that on Amazon.com and other online venues, you may see a placeholder cover that differs (radically) from the one you see here. Safe to say, I’m glad the final…

COVER STORY: Flying like hotcakes

‘Tis the season….according to Amazon.com, they currently have only five copies left of COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO, but they promise more are on the way. However, when their next batch arrives is anybody’s guess. So if you’re thinking about ordering the book from Amazon in time for the holiday season, you might…

This one is CRUCIBLE: SPOCK — THE FIRE AND THE ROSE, and it’s a mass market paperback from Pocket Books.
