New cover art by the talented--well, really MULTI-talented Reese Dante. I love that she kept the original cover model and that she shows a gradual, subtle aging of Adrien throughout the course of the series. And you know what I particularly love? He looks younger and happier again by SO THIS IS CHRISTMAS.
YOU GET ME, REESE, YOU REALLY GET ME. ;-D
But seriously, my plans for the 20th Anniversary have kind of gone KAAAA-BLOOEY with everything that has happened, including the cancellation of this year's GRL. NO CAKE???? HOW CAN WE HAVE AN ANNIVERSARY WITHOUT CAKE!!!???
But I'm going to do what I can--and maybe we'll get together and have cake at NEXT year's GRL!? God willing and we don't all die of the plague.
Here is my official invitation to fans of the series to contribute art and fiction or even non-fiction to our virtual celebration, which I will feature here on the blog. I'd like to do at least one AE-related post a month, starting in August. (Obviously, I'll come up with some things as well.)
But meantime, enjoy a glimpse of the new cover art!
SO,so awesome!! Amazing covers! I hope you're proud that a series you began 20 years ago still brings in passionate fans now. I can't remember how many times I've read it but it always lifts my mood. Thank you 💙
ReplyDeleteI never get tired of hearing that. It is surprising though! <3
DeleteThese are wonderful! And yes, the age progression is so neat.
ReplyDeleteI was so nervous about changing those covers. They were like my security blanket. :-D But these are everything I hoped for.
DeleteAbsolutely love the covers! Adrien is such a memorable character. Strong and vulnerable at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThose coves, OMG. So so beautiful! Can't wait for what's coming!
ReplyDeleteGoge
I hope we will get the Chris Patton version of So This is Christmas!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely! I just finished re-reading the entire series for the sheer pleasure of it.
ReplyDeleteI'll dictate my story to Miss Butterwith post haste and send it off in the shake of a cats tail.
ReplyDeleteWow! - I can't believe it's been 20 years.
ReplyDelete*** CONGRATULATIONS *** Truly awesome writing to stand the test of time like they have.
I have the audio's for these and they are always on one device or another ... 20 years on and I still want to smack Jake upside the head and tell him to get his act together ��.
... love the new covers.
I love the new covers and glad they are what you wanted. You just might see a contribution from me this time. Congratulations on the Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteLove the new covers. When they are re-released, will it be on Amazon only or other places like Smashwords, Kobo etc?
ReplyDeleteLove the new covers. When they are re-released will it be to Amazon only or will Smashwords, Kobo get them as well? Thanks and congrats on the 20th anniversary.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I think I will re-re-re-read the series! Stay safe and here's a toast to next year!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for the Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI've had a chance to find Japanese translated AE series a few weeks ago, and I'm now reading "So this is Christmas".
I love your books, and hope to challenge reading in English too!
And,, and if possible, it would be so pleased if new short episode of Adrien and Jake could be read for the Anniversary.
Love the new covers. I just finished the series again after the umpteenth time! I can't get enough of these wonderful stories of Adrien and Jake. Thank you and congratulations.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary. Fatal shadows was my first m\m fiction and I loved it and proceeded to buy all your other books..cost a fortune! The only trouble is that little did I realise that your books are absolutely in the top quality range and a lot of other m\m books are shallow in comparison. Now I impatiently await new books from you (currently I have 7 on pre-order) you have spoiled me for others! Lol.
