The Final Final Cover of Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate)

And here it is, the absolute final for the US edition of Heartless. Note the changes from the last one?

Had a lovely tome at the Nova Albion Steampunk convention, swanking about in corsets and steampunk garb, gabbing on panels, and drinking champagne and tea (separately, mind you). I’ve lost most of my voice (terribly careless of me), but Cherie Priest and I managed to continue to rumor in the steampunk community that we are, in fact, the same person by switching name tags at every opportunity. Confusion and hilarity reigned. I was asked to sign two of her books, she was asked to sign one of mine. World domination ensues.

Your moment of parasol . . .

Your Infusion of Cute:
I love Jason Wu’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection. Black trousers with white print blouse and black ribbon tied about the neck. White dresses with black belts. Leather skirts. All black outfits with a winter white cape over the top. Royal blue with black, lace, and subtle prints. Lunchbox bags. Black dresses with white petticoats. Blood red shoes. Lovely.

Interesting thoughts on international authors.

*Caveat: not 40 year, but 25. A misprint.
