\"\"<\/a>So, here’s a nice surprise in my In-box: prototype cover for next year’s Finnish translation of Blindsight<\/em> from Gummerus<\/a>. The artist is Jussi Kaakinen<\/a>, and I think he’s done a terrific job.<\/p>\n

Oooh, and just after I finished posting this the first time, a courier showed up at my door with a box of these:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fleuve Noir’s release of \u03b2ehemoth<\/em>, over in France. A clean, simple, evocative<\/em> cover, and now that I look at it I’m surprised that nobody’s gone with the nanobe theme before. It seems really obvious in hindsight. (And notice the lack of Volume #? One story, one book, one price. That’s how you do it.)<\/p>\n

And on my way out the door to the next con, here’s a picture from the last one: Maria Nyg\u00e5rd’s candid shot of me and a sentient vacuum cleaner during the post-Kontrast wind-down (I’m on the right). I think I may like this one best of all, since it’s the first picture in recent memory that doesn’t<\/em> make me look like a stoop-shouldered scarecrow.\u00a0 I like the WW2 propaganda eyes-to-the-horizon vibe. I may make this my new official author photo. At the very least, I’m going to make sure I’m never seen in public again without Henry by my side.<\/p>\n

See (some of) you this weekend.<\/p>\n
