Hello Abomination backers and readers! It's still nine days until the book officially starts showing up in bookstores, but many of you already have your copies from Inkshares and Amazon is now shipping it too!
So far reader reaction looks terrific with 96% of people on Goodreads liking the book and 83% 5-star reviews on Amazon! Again, please do leave a review/rating on those sites if you liked the book, it really helps get the word out and increases the chance of me being able to write another one!
ALSO! Abomination is up for Best Debut Cover in an online contest! No surprise there as the art by Jason Gurley is phenomenal, and since many backers had a hand in selecting the final cover during the development process this is an honor we share with all of you. If you have a moment please hit the link below and give Abomination your vote!

OMG COVERS
Readers, backers, countrymen! I promised you updates and I intend to deliver like a crazy person! Let's talk covers! As we mentioned during funding, the amazing Jason Gurley is designing the final cover for the published hardcover edition of Abomination. Jason is the brilliant designer of many beautiful books, not least of which Hugh Howey's best-sellers Wool and Sand. Jason has officially retired from the world of book design but agreed to come out of retirement for one last mission. He has already dived right in, working up some preliminary concepts, which I'm thrilled to share with you here. These are just early roughs with a lot of work still to do, but the intention is to narrow these five candidates down to a final winner and then finesse the hell out of it. I certainly have my favorites among this bunch but I want to hear yours as well! Don't be shy about posting in the comments with your thoughts on the preliminary designs below...
