i’m very excited to share the indonesia
cover for Silver Phoenix! the publisher let me
know that my book went on sale last week
abroad! so exciting!
do you love the cover?
i think it’s gorgeous in a mysterious
quiet way. i was shown the cover before
the books went into print and i only had
two comments. one was suggesting the
chinese characters (they had stand ins
that actually said “chinese word”,
now it says “silver phoenix”)
and the fact that ai ling didn’t wear a single
braid–as she does throughout most of the novel.
both these changes were incorporated!
i think the dragon hints to the fantasy
elements, but the feel of it is definitely very
different from the american version.
of course, i love both covers! i couldn’t feel
more fortunate–the cover gods smile down
upon me.
*scurries to light more incense* =D

Wow. Just wow. I know I’ve said that I picked your book up solely because of the bright, dramatic cover, but this one works just as well. I would definitely want to read it.
Whoa…Indonesian cover? Looks great.
I’m going to have to tell people about this back home.
Why is the title in English? is it not translated, then?
Congrats. that’s so cool. Please post on FB so i can pimp it. ;b
I think it’s a fantastic cover, and I’m always a sucker for the ’shrouding mist’ look. It must feel great to see your work going global. Congratulations.
Wow. That’s a really cool cover. The font, in particular, gives it a kind of Lemony Snicket vibe, I think (though who knows what kind of vibe it would give to an Indonesian? Well, an Indonesian, I guess).
Ooh… beautiful.
Oh. My. Goodness. It has left me breathless. What a job well done.
oooh, that’s beautiful. It has a really ’serene’ and mysterious feel to it.
Love it!
Love the cover! ^_^ It’s so stylish! I prefer it to the UK one, but I like that too :)
Beautiful, Cindy! Love everything about it!!!!
I adore this cover! Although I think the dragon should have been a phoenix instead! But damn that’s a great looking dragon so it doesn’t matter. The cover is too beautiful!
wow it is so pretty :)
Thx very much to nice posting’s Cindy & all critique, comment. This Publisher let me know that blog. I’m graphic designer this cover, from Indonesia…Check it out :) Success for Cindy!
Oh wow, Cindy, you lucky bugger, that’s one gorgeous cover.
I really like this one a whole lot. :D
whoa, that is gorgeous!
Cindy – it’s beautiful! Very mysterious and haunting! Wow! You really did get two absolutely gorgeous covers! Woot!
Wow, that’s beautiful! You are indeed cover-blessed!
i couldn’t be more delighted!
you are very talented!! thank you!!
I don’t know how, but they actually made a better cover, I think. The U.S. version is perfect. But this one is…more perfect? It’s just GORGEOUS. Congrats!!!!!!
And by the way…I had no idea that “phoenix” literally meant “bird under a table.” Or am I reading that wrong? I’m so rusty with these characters. Need to brush up.
Wow! Just wow. That’s beautiful. I confess I like it a lot better than the US cover.
Gorgeous! I think I like this cover a bit more than the American one :) But you’re both are great and the cover gods defintely smiled upon you!
awesome, Cindy. As one of your readers and a graphic designer myself, I think it really captures the essence of your book magically and perfectly. Congrats!
Hi Cindy,
That cover looks AMAZING! Mysterious and intriguing, yet the red font really sets off the title…and congrats on being on sale in Indonesia!!

That is gorgeous!! Absolutely stunning. Congrats!
CONGRATS, Cindy! This cover is very beautiful and haunting, which fits the book nicely! ;)
Oh, it’s beautiful! I love the misty quality. The whole design just draws you right in.
Love that cover – it’s very mysterious and subtle
Wow, Cindy, that is an absolutely beautiful cover. I have to agree that it is different from the US, and might not have been as attractive there…but I think it is gorgeous in its own way. I also think it is very representative of the book! I love it.
One word: FABULOUS. :)
Very intriguing. I like it a lot. So cool.
thanks, everyone! <3
Not sure if you’re still reading these comments, but I LOVE your cover! A good friend and former roommate of mine is Indonesian. Her father used to be a well-known ambassador. She’s a sweetie.
OK, late to the party, but I love the cover. Its very fun.
@Didi, it is translated but titles in Indonesian do not sell ;-)
