Courtesy of the good folks at Roc, allow me to present the mass market paperback edition of Idlewild. You can find it in bookstores now. The complete trilogy goes mass market this year, with Edenborn out in the spring and Everfree hitting stores in the summer.
I loved the original covers but there's something powerful about what they're doing with the reprints. Coming of age can feel like the end of the world was a phrase that played in my head while writing Idlewild, and it's a thrill to see it rendered here so hauntingly.
Congratulations. Nice to have a thumbs up from Neil Gaiman on the cover as well!
I've read the trilogy. Enjoyed it--particularly Idlewild. :)
Anything new in the works?

Hi Nick,
While at the library recently, I stumbled upon the audio book versions of your novels Idlewild and Edenborn. I'm so glad I picked them up; tonight I finished listening to Idlewild, and I'm currently converting the Edenborn CDs to iPod's Audiobook format so I can begin listening to the book tonight. (I'll delete the iPod files after I listen to them.) Idlewild was fantastic and I can't wait to listen to Edenborn.
(By the way, they picked a wonderful reader, that Clayton Barclay Jones. Great voice for Halloween.)

BTW I've heard that recording on the Voyager craft! That's your voice? Radical...I have a 'Net radio station called VoyagerRadio (at VoyagerRadio.com), and it was inspired by -- what else? -- the Voyager mission, which I'm somewhat fascinated with. To think that they are farther out there than any other human-made objects...
