Y’all. Y’ALL. Check out PC Cast’s new cover for her next book.
Seriously – she won the cover lottery? She made a deal with a powerful deity regarding her book art? Wow!
I asked Ms. Cast who the artist was, so we could give him squeeful mad props, and she told me his name is Matt Mahurin. I googled him but found several references to photography, but not to cover illustrations, so I’m hestiant to bust out with the linkage.
But I am not hesitant to give a peek at Mr. Mahurin’s latest PC Cast cover – with a special note: Sir! Thank you for lush covers that evoke romance that insult neither our sensibilities nor our intelligence!
Oh wow. That is a gorgeous cover!!!!!!
MAN. That is beautiful.
This kind of luck just ain’t natural.
So when does your contract with The Debbil end, PC?
I want her publisher! Her covers are always so cool, ethereal and lovely.
I love all of PC’s covers. I should have stuck with my plan to put gum in her hair and toss all her clothes out the window while we were in Reno. Stupid missed opportunity!
Y’all need to squee about her cover for Elphame’s Choice: absolutely gorgeous stuff.
But that one’s fab too. 😉
The new cover made me squeel outloud! And, yes, they’ve all be PHREAKISHLY PHABULOUS. Wait till you see the special effects – glitter in the headdress of stars, foil on the letters. (Ah, crap, I’m drooling on myself.) Again. Berkley went darker with this one because it’s a retelling of Beauty and the Beast…blood rituals…and my beast, uh, well, stays a beast. Talk about some kinky sex. YEA!
God, I love this book!

ONE LUCKY BITCH
p.s. I’m watching you Gena.
Great cover!
Don’t be jealous, Gena, you got a great cover with Awaken Me Darkly. The cover of the new book looks pretty good, too.
I just did some Googling of Matt’s name myself, adding “cover” to the search. It appears that he is a photographer and photoillustrator who has done illustrations and cover art for Time magazine as well as for books. Even though the illustration styles are very different (one of the Time illustrations I saw looks hand-drawn and airbrushed, while the rest are straight or manipulated photos), I have no doubt that it’s the same person.
Thanks for sharing the artist’s name. I now have someone to look up to—I’d LOVE to illustrate for Time, wow!
Beautiful cover PC! Absolutely stunning. I think it’s my favorite Goddess cover.
Gena, your Awaken Me Darkly cover is very gritty and sexy. Defintely one of my favorite images.
