Two extremely cool covers I didn't know existed

It's always nice to see new editions of the books, but I stumbled across the American large print covers on Amazon recently. I hadn't seen either of these, and they're both absolutely beautiful.

I also love the way American covers always point out it's A NOVEL just in case you're confused.

Just thought I would share.

Winterlong - US cover

As I mentioned recently The Time to Kill, the third Carter Blake book, is being published in America under its original name: Winterlong.

I had a sneak preview from my publishers a few weeks ago, but as it's now live on Amazon US, I can proudly reveal the US cover for Winterlong: 

What do you think? I love it! Can't wait to see a physical copy.

Winterlong is published in the United States on February 7, 2017, and you can pre-order the hardcover right now.

Killing Season - book club edition

I've just seen the new American cover for The Killing Season for Harlequin's Worldwide Mystery book club, and it's pretty damn cool.

Subscription book clubs of this kind seem to be pretty much extinct in the UK, but I'm pleased to see they're alive and well across the pond. It's a great way to reach a lot of new readers.

If you haven't read Killing Season yet, this is a great opportunity to jump on board with the first Carter Blake book - you can order the new version in paperback here.

American publication day - The Samaritan

The Samaritan is finally released in America today, published by Pegasus Books.

The cover is quite different from the UK version this time around, but it's great. I received a box full of author copies last week and, although pictures don't do it justice, the hardcover is a thing of beauty.

I had lots of great emails and messages from American readers about The Killing Season, so I can't wait to see how people react to the new book. It's already had great US reviews in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus.

Email me, Tweet me, Facebook me or just comment here at the blog to let me know what you think about Carter Blake's latest case.

You can order The Samaritan now from all good bookshops:

The US edition

The cover of the US edition is now showing on Amazon.com, where readers in the US can now pre-order the hardcover edition from Pegasus Books, which has a publication date of February 15 2015.

Obviously it's not a radical departure from the Orion cover, but I'm pretty happy with that - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I can't wait to hold the physical copy in my hands. Orion has world rights so I'm not sure whether publishers in other English-speaking territories make their own edits, but I'm looking forward to finding out more about the process, and I can't wait to be officially published in the States.
