Hey, nice cover. Got a mix of science and scare. Looking forward to reading it.

Neat,

Reminds me of those old world maps, sort of that whole mechanical-science vs. oh computer/new tech science. I know there's an actual word for it. I should ask my artist friend (because everyone should have an artist friend).

and has it stopped snowing yet?

The background is a drawing of the constellation Draco from a medieval astronomy text. Somewhere, I hope, I still have the name of the book.

The constellation Draco plays a minor role in the novel, so I wanted that for the background, and I wanted an illustration that had something both archaic and threatening to it.

It snowed again yesterday. Got bitterly cold - minus 18 officially, last night. But today it's sunny and in the twenties, and it's supposed to keep warming up, reaching around 50 by Wednesday.
