Woooot! I can finally share my new American title and cover for Kat book 1 (known in the UK as A Most Improper Magick). Here's the front cover, illustrated by the amazing French artist Annette Marnat:
and the full jacket:
of Kat, Incorrigible! (Click to see a larger version on Flickr.)
The stars will be foiled in silvery-green. Eeee!
Kat, Incorrigible is the full title of Book 1 in the US, and it'll become the series title, too, so that Book 2 will be Kat, Incorrigible: A Tangle of Magics in the US (whereas it'll be A Tangle of Magicks (Book Two of The Unladylike Adventures of Kat Stephenson) in the UK).
The two titles and covers are SO different, but I really do love them both, and I'm feeling very lucky right now.
And just for fun, here's the full jacket artwork without the text, because it makes me happy:

The new US publication date is April 5, 2011 - but if you want to read an advance copy of the book long, long before that, you can enter now to win a British ARC at the book blog I Was a Teenage Book Geek! Lauren posted a really lovely review of the book yesterday, and now she's giving away her ARC, with the giveaway open to international contestants.
What do you guys think of the new American title and look?
