Here's
the cover to my first novel, Spellbent,
which will be out the end of December from Del Rey (an imprint of Random House). The artist is Dan Dos Santos. The novel is an urban fantasy featuring
wizard's apprentice Jessie Shimmer, portrayed here with Mossberg shotgun, ferret familiar, demonic wyrm, and great big huevos.
If you can't really read the blurb at the top, here it is, plus a few more:
"Spellbent is a total blast! A fun, unique, and constantly surprising contender for the urban fantasy crown. In her thrilling trial-by-fire debut, Snyder's heroine - Jessie Shimmer - is transformed from young apprentice to first-class magical butt-kicker. I can't wait for book two!"
- Christopher Golden, author of The Myth Hunters
"Lucy Snyder's Spellbent marks the debut of a real talent. It's a gripping ride of a story - I couldn't put it down!"
- Sarah Langan, author of Audrey's Door
"(Spellbent features) a cast of unforgettable characters and relentless action and suspense. Snyder masterfully weaves a fantastical plot into a real-world setting, never once breaking stride."
- Deborah LeBlanc, author of Water Witch
"Lucy Snyder hooks you from the beginning, delivering a strong protagonist and a fresh, engaging world of magic. I can't wait to see what she does next."
- Alice Henderson, author of Voracious
ETA: If anyone wants to read the first chapter, you can find that over on my website.
