Vote on a Personal Demons cover!!

We've decided it was fun being royal yesterday, so we're not quite ready to give it up. Plus we're still reading Mockingjay (Blame Luc. He demanded I write this whole really warped scene in Hellbent yesterday that lead to writing a few chapters then going back and tweaking Original Sin to tie it all in.) so we're still on radio silence while we finish.

But...

YA Addict is running a oh-so-very cool Re-create a Cover Contest for Personal Demons and the first round of voting starts today! I'm posting a smattering of the entries below to whet your appetite. And can I just say, WOW! All of the entries are amazing. Get thee over to her blog and vote for your favorites!

This one is drool worthy in more ways than I can describe. I mean, scorch my eyes out of their sockets hot:

There are a few with the "split cover" design with Heaven on one side and Hell on the other. This one is seriously amazing. I would totally pick this book up off the shelf. Check out her hands:

This one, I love. The devils tail and the feathers...way cool:

And the sky in this one is perfect, plus the guys are totally hot:

A couple of people when for Graceling thing with the eyes. This first one blows me away:

And this one is really cool with the contrasting colors (and the eyes):

And some are simple and sweet:

These are just a few of the fabulous entries, so go over and check them out. Feel free to leave comments here, but vote on YA Addict's blog. Votes left here won't count. And a huge THANKS and good luck to everyone who entered!

Personal Demons Cover and a peek at the first 48 pages on Amazon

First, I want to mention that Amazon has added the "LOOK INSIDE" feature to the Personal Demons listing, so when you go over there to *blushes and shuffles feet* buy the book, you can read through the first 48 pages. (There are actually a few pages missing, but it's essentially the first 2&1/2 chapters)

While you're there, however, you'll probably notice that the cover I have posted here and on my website is not the same as the one on Amazon (or B&N for that matter). There has been a TON of confusion over the Personal Demons cover (even amongst industry professionals), so I'm hoping to clear that up.

Here is the official Personal Demons cover:

This is the one on the sidebar to the right and on my website. If you'd like a countdown ticker for your blog, you can find the code here.
Many of you have seen the ARC cover:

This was up on my blog before we had the finished cover. It was created solely for the ARC because we were late getting the finished cover done. My Tor Art guy, Seth, put this one together for the ARC, and I love it.

This is the one that's currently up on Amazon and Barnes&Noble. It was an early attempt that was rejected for several reasons, including that my MC is blond/blue. It was apparently uploaded by the Tor Art Dept. in error a few months back and even though the new cover was uploaded by Tor a month ago, it's taking the stores a while to catch on.

Some of you are running contests for Personal Demons. (See contest links at the top of the page if you want to enter.) If you linked the cover pic on your blog to Amazon's website, you would have noticed some shenanigans yesterday. For the last few weeks, Amazon had the new cover up, but when they added the "look inside" feature night before last, the cover reverted to the old one. You would have seen the picture on your blog change as well if you're linked to Amazon. O_O

Sorry for all the craziness and thanks for your patience. Hope that clears up the confusion.
