Path of Beasts – the ARC!
April 14th, 2012
I received a very exciting parcel in the post the other day – half a dozen copies of the US edition of Path of Beasts. These weren’t the final book, of course, but Advance Readers Copies, or ARCs. And they look terrific!
Here’s a sneak peek of the cover.
Isn’t Jon Foster an extraordinary artist? I think this is so beautiful, and yes, that’s Goldie in the middle, wielding a sword. A far cry from the girl who didn’t even know how to run.
The ARCs go out to various reviewers three months before the book is published, which means in early July. And seeing I’ve got six of them, I thought I might do a giveaway on Goodreads. And maybe one here as well. So some lucky readers will find out what finally happens to Goldie and Toadspit three months early.
Keep your eyes on this website or on my facebook page, and I’ll let you know when the giveaway is about to start.
(I’m very excited!)
WOW! This would be amazing!
You mean the Goodreads giveaway? Keep your eyes open, Romi, and you might have a chance of getting one. π
By the way, the cover looks amazing! I’m so excited for you and for it!
Thanks Romi. Foster is certainly a brilliant artist. I love the way he paints action scenes like this one.
Wow!! That looks amazing!! Cannot wait to read the book, it looks so exciting!!!
It does, doesn’t it, Hannah! I’m very pleased with it. And now of course I’m keen to see what the Australian cover looks like.
The cover is so interesting, i Love it! i cant wait to try in the givaway, and i will be checking the facebook page everyday! Yay!
Hi Mia, glad you’re going to try for one of the giveaways. Good luck!
Wow . . . Lian Tanner i cannot imagine a better author. Path of Beasts . . . . golly i’m stuck on the meaning. Soooooooo excited. You cannot image how much my heart races when I think, I I’m so lucky, I get to go to Lian Tanners launch and she invited me herself! I feel like screaming (with joy) at the thought.
And it is going to be very nice to see you there, Lily. I wonder if I’ll know who you are, without being told. I suspect I will. π
By the way, my mum will be checking out the facebook page every three seconds.
Awww, only every THREE seconds? Can’t she do better than that? π π
I think it’s quite amusing that you were talking to me, above, about your book cover artist. Romi. Foster. Hmm… coincidence.
Yes- the competition on goodreads, and the possibly one here!

I’m sure you will make beautiful book covers when you’re older, Maeve. And I hope you win one of the ARCs for your birthday! What a good present that would be.
