Okay, so GUNMETAL MAGIC is being released in UK in electronic format – we are self-publishing it. Should be up within two weeks, hopefully sooner. This is the cover for it. I made it. I almost didn’t post it, because every time I post one, people come out of the woodwork and make irrational demands about eyes being the wrong color and ears being the wrong shape.
I am on the deadline, I have to work with the stock I can buy, here is the cover, deal with it.
If you moan at me about the hair length or some other silliness, please moan politely. Or I might snap.

I like this cover. Her hair looks less “blow dried to perfection” than the US cover (although I like them both) and she seems more relatable in a I’m Having A Bad Day so I Feel Like Killing You way.
I’m with anatwork on this. I like this cover–I like it lot.

This looks like an Andrea who has had her world torn apart but is dealing. I like it. After all, this is your realm, these are your people, I am just grateful you share them with me.
The cover looks edgy maybe the people in the UK like that!
It Looks similar to the other cover.
Nice version of Andrea. The artist did a good job with this. Lean and obviously strong. A face that could have been sweet and girl-next-door at one time, but now hardened by some serious crap that has happened to her. She looks tough and lethal, but not crazy. That’s a hard balance to pull off.
I’m curious, why all the different covers? I can kind of see the different ones for various countries, but why the differences between the dead tree US versions and the audiobooks? I’ve been wondering about that.
ITA Great description.
I love this cover. Better yet I loved Gunmetal, I couldn’t put it down once I started. You guys rock. Keep em coming please.

I think she looks like a pimp. I like her. Maybe even more than the US cover actually…though I tend to thin the UK covers are better than US covers for books…
I thought a female in that line of work was a ‘madam’.
I like the cover fine, but honestly once a series’ characters have me in their grip it’s not the covers that bring me back.
On the other hand, if you want a pic of a chick with a Sig, I can supply ….

I prefer the US cover. The UK version, I don’t think Andrea lives up to your description. US: HOT UK: NOT
I like this one much better, this looks like a very imperfect woman trying to put herself back together, the other one was a little too cutesy.
Love the cover! She has just a touch of her “inner bouda having a bad day” showing. So cool!
Awesome cover! She looks tough but has that could-be-sweet-if-she-wasn’t-pissed. Good work
Hello – if you’re self-publishing it in ebook, where is it available? Amazon and Barnes only offer the paperback version.
