Really like the cover art on the new trade paperbacks particularly ‘Killshot’ and ‘Glitz’.

Does anyone know if these covers will be available in the UK? Or are they USA only?

Except for Bandits. Pea-green background a washout, no contrast. The others work. I think a rich yellow for Killshot would work, or blood red. Put an orange background on Bandits for a real pop. Red works too.

Had to post this pic .  So sad, such a great book, but such an disappointing cover.  That’ll land you in the clearance bin, apparently.

Being in the discount bin means nothing. Print publishers do overprints for attention, know their bottom-line, sales projections. These bins are also great for enticing new readers. Hardback for below paperback price, heard of this guy, I’ll try him out, the book’ll look good on my shelf and make people think I’m hip. That was me in LA 29 years ago discovering Mr. L’s ‘Stick,’ snapped up everything I could find by him and then had to have my crack-fix on every new release after. Cant tell a book by its cover…so I hear.
