The cover for my new book, DELICATE MONSTERS, was revealed yesterday on the Barnes and Noble blog, along with some of my thoughts on the cover and its significance.
Bottom line: I love it.
This was also the first time I had the opportunity to put into words some of what this book means to me. What it’s about. That’s always an interesting exercise. My understanding of meaning tends to work in reverse and therefore gets gummed up by the result more than it represents the process. My process, however, is not a purposeful thing. It’s driven by a blend of my own temperament. I’m filled with more curiosity than altruism, more shame than sympathy, and far more empathy than I know what to do with.
That, I suppose, is what this book is about.

woo! that’s a FANTASTIC cover. I mean, how can you go wrong when a bird’s involved?
Thank you so much, Evan! Bird covers are pretty wonderful, aren’t they?
I already congratulated you on the beautiful cover on Twitter, but thought I’d do so here, too. It’s fantastic and I can’t wait to read your next book (and recommend it for our HS library!) Congrats, Stephanie!!
Oh, thank you, Lori! That is so kind of you. I really appreciate it.
