It's been a long while since I've reared my head here, but I used to dream of being able to post this, sooo...

I have a novel out!

The Prey of Gods, by Nicky Drayden

A quick blurb:

“Nicky Drayden’s debut novel “The Prey of Gods” (Harper Voyager) is delightfully unlike most science fiction out there. Drayden mixes folklore, urban fantasy and science fiction in her futuristic South Africa to dazzling effect.”

-Washington Post

And this cover!

I spent many (many) hours here honing my craft, so if there's anyone here who still remembers me, thanks a million!

Nicky

Congratulations! Some day I hope to get there too. Your amazon page looks great as well. Here's to success. And as a newbie, this means I need to go and check your posts to see how you got to where you got and learn from that :)

In the Castle, of course.
That cover is definitely going to catch someone's attention. If I picked the book up, the pic would cause me to peek inside at the writing.

Congratulations on your book being published! That is so wonderful. Best of luck to you!

I've totally seen this amazing-looking cover out there on the book-blogosphere and I was really excited to read it! Had no idea it was by an AWer, that definitely rockets it up the to-read list. :)

Super excited! And there was a bit in the Life&Arts section of the Wall Street Journal too! I'm beside myself!
