Are you guys ready? This is a squee-worthy moment…I just want you to be prepared. Here is the cover that Atom (Little, Brown) U.K. is using for DIE FOR ME:
Except instead of “Strapline Running Just Here” the actual ARC says “Available May 2011”. Now keep in mind, this is the ARC cover – they’re still going to tweak it. (As if it isn’t already too beautiful to be tweaked??!!)
And here (swoon) is the blurb on the back cover. *Amy passes out on her kitchen floor*
I am so in awe of the artwork – and will let you know as soon as I find out on Monday WHO DID IT! (Because they NEED to be mentioned!) UPDATE: THE DESIGNER IS MARK ECOB AND THE ILLUSTRATOR WHO DID THE SWIRLS IS JOHANNA BASFORD. Google them to see how amazing they are.
What do you think?

That is one gorgeous book cover! I love the pattern swirling around the title and down toward the middle. I can’t wait to read it!

I LOVE it! It’s gorgeous! I can hardly wait to read the book! You’re going to be my inspiration to finish my own book, Amy. Way to go! Way to go! (I meant that twice!)

Ooo much saucier than the US cover. Likin’ it. And “the romance of Twilight”, um you are so hitting best-seller lists with a blurb like that. Congrats, Amy!

It’s beautiful! I have a feeling Die For Me is going to be one of the rare books I collect multiple editions of, because of its amazing covers. They can join the beautiful Koren editions of Vampire Academy (which um, I can’t even read!) on my bookshelf. : )

I adore how the flourishing scrolls weave their way around Kate and onto her gown. Stunning indeed!!

Oooh, lovely. Now we just need a tantalising excerpt, maybe a first chapter. 🙂

Thanks, everyone! I’m glad you agree. And Beth – the blurb is AMAZING – especially coming from Atom, who are the UK’s publishers for Twilight. And Anna – I will put some special things here on the blog in a couple of months – promise!

My Atom editor told me she was so pleased by these comments. Thanks for letting us know. (p.s. am I allowed to be in my own book cover’s fan club?)

Hi everyone
Johanna just passed me a link to these lovely comments about our work on the UK cover for Die for Me. Thankyou so much for the kind words, it really makes your day when an author is so happy with their cover.
Best of luck Amy.
