Normally, having a birthday near Christmas sucks terribly. But THIS year, I got the best present ever. I get to reveal my cover.
So this is the moment that all of…well, me, have been waiting for! My response to the cover was pretty much, “YES. YES YES YES.” And then a few minutes later, “Oh, I see what you did there.” Flux did an AMAZING job – it’s everything I could have asked for in a cover and more.
Look right there. That’s my name!
Tell me what you think? Don’t you love it?

I literally just rolled out of bed, turned on the computer, and yours was the first link I saw on twitter, bringing me here.
Amazing.
Chilling.
Intriguing.
Awesome way to start the day. Seriously cannot wait to read the book. 😀
Thanks! And that’s exactly why I’ve been staring at it all weekend instead of being a productive member of society. 😉
WOW!!! That is ONE AMAZING cover dude!
Thank you so much!
So cool! I love the spooky mansion above your name. Looks creeeeeeepy.
Congrats! 🙂
The spooky mansion with the one room lit is super creepy. Always. So it worked out really good for the cover, I think. 🙂
Awesome cover, and happy birthday! I’d say you scored big time with this present!
Thank you so much. I completely agree!
Love the cover! And can’t wait for this to come out.
Also, glad to read that you’re now repped by Ginger! (I’m repped by her too) She’s awesome 🙂
Ginger has been nothing short of amazing so far. Very excited to get to work with her. Thank you so much!
OMG Scott, it’s awesome!!!! Seriously spectacular cover 😀 Best Christmas/birthday present ever, huh 😀 Congrats!!!!
Right? I was beyond thrilled to not only GET my cover, but to be able to share it. I love it so much.

Woot.
Love the lightning-eye. You can see the storm brewing . . . .
(Hi! I’ve been following the blog for a bit now, but this is the first time I’ve commented. Congratulations on the excellent cover and happy birthday, too!)
The lightning eye is one of my FAVE parts.
And thank you so much for the comment!
LOVE. IT.

I’m definitely VERY lucky. Flux gives good cover.
Happy Birthday! 😀 Have a great day.
The cover is super gorgeous.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
LOVE it! Can’t wait to read this one…
Ack. Now I’m going to panic about people actually READING it. 😉
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! Oh my heck, Scott! I love it. The sweet, creepy font on the title, your name all along the bottom!! The lightning–everything is just gorgeous!
Congrats!!
My name at the bottom never stops being amazing. I keep looking down and going “that’s my name!”
Thank you so much, Elana!
Great cover, Scott. Very intense. It’ll staring down people in bookstores everywhere!! Congrats!! And, happy birthday 🙂
Thank you so much! I love love love the intensity and the darkness of it. Flux did a fantastic job.
That creeeeepy house at the bottom! Congrats, and happy birthday!
I know, right? I love the creepy house. And thank you!
Happy birthday Scott! And what a birthday present. I love the cover for Witch Eyes. The eyes, the font, the colors, and the mansion at the moment – they all lend to this spectacularly creepy, but intriguing cover. I can’t wait for the book to be released.
Do you have any idea when the release date is yet?
Early estimate is September, but I won’t know for sure yet for a little bit longer.
Thank you!
Love the cover! I can’t wait to read it!
Thank you so much, Malinda!
I. Love. It!
Very cool.
S.P.
Haha, thank you! That was kinda like my reaction when I first saw it. I couldn’t speak in complete sentences. It was all like
That’s. My. Cover. OMG.
That’s hot.
Way hot.
Wow. Seriously cool. I would definitely take a look at this if I saw it on a shelf.
Thank you, that’s awesome!
*shakes fist at blog* Why did you eat my comment? Scott is going to question my commitment to sparkle motion!
*stares at precious cover* I love it! Especially the tint on the house and the house itself. It’s very Haunting of Hill House.
I was half tempted to dig up that quote on Youtube, but I am very full from lunch right now, and that sounds like a lot of work.
I LOVE the house. IT’S SO CREEPY.
Aren’t I worth the work? Seriously… :p
(and in case you really don’t know, it’s Donnie Darko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouFnQTq6gNQ)
This is seriously a gorgeous, intriguing cover. Congrats, it’s going to fly off the shelves!!
Thank you so much! I just hope people like the book as much as they liked the cover lol.
OMG IT’S AWESOME!!! I can’t wait to read it! So glad you pointed me to the bigger version, lol.
Just trust me on this one, try to take breaks in between staring at it obsessively for hours. Your eyes start to burn after awhile. 😉
So cool, Scott! Congrats on the awesome cover! 😀
Thank you! I kinda love it. 🙂
LOVE love love this cover!
Thanks! I do, too!
V cool! Love everything about it! The typography totally makes it! :p
Thank you! I love the font, it’s so fun.
It’s beautiful, Scott! Congratulations!
Thank you! I can’t stop staring at it, it’s kind of becoming a problem. 😉
Your cover is awesome!
Thank you! I’m so glad you like it.
LOVE it! So perfect for the book! Can’t wait to get it for myself!
It’s SO perfect. Just wait till you read the book, you’ll love it even more. 🙂
Fabulous cover, Scott! w00t!
Aww, thank you! I really love it.
Happy birthday to you! Your cover rocks and so do you!!!!! Just so you know, I specifically waited until the very last minute so I could be THE LAST person to wish you happy birthday.
You are so full of it. But thank you! 🙂
Whoa, that is fabulously scary! Yay for awesome covers!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your blog before, Scott, but I’ve been waiting for ages to see what the cover of Witch Eyes looks like, so I wanted to chime in and say that I think it’s great. Really startling, and different to much of what is out there on the shelves at the moment. And I think it will definitely appeal to boys, which is a rare quality in YA urban fantasy right now. Congratulations!
Also: Happy belated birthday.
Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how much I love the cover!
And thank you for the birthday wishes. 🙂
Holy Toledo batman that seriously rocks my socks off!!! I know nothing of the book, thanks to the fabulous Lisa & Laura apology on their blog today I was made aware of this amazing cover. Now I must go and add to goodreads and pre-order (if it’s even available yet) because by the cover alone I want to tweet about it!
Thank you so much! It’s not available for pre-order yet, but I’ll definitely post about it when it is. 🙂
Wow, those eyes hold me captive. So gripping, I must must read this book.
I love what they did with the eyes. Thank you so much!
A truly awesome cover!!! Love the font too. CONGRATS! And happy belated birthday 🙂
Thank you for the birthday wishes! And thank you so much for the cover love. I simply adore it. It’s exactly what I would have wanted.
A belated Happy B Day, Scott (via Laura and Lisa who are extremely apologetic, lol!)
And. That. Cover! I can see myself holding it up to a library teen or two and saying “Perhaps THIS would interest you?” Mad scramble ensues. Fortunately I work at a book store, too…congrats! You’re right, they did an amazing job.
Haha, thank you so much!
Wow, that is one awesome cover! Happy belated birthday! I too came over because of the apologetic L&L.
Thank you so much! And thank you for the B-day wishes!
Gorgeous cover. Coming over from LiLa’s blog to add my congrats. Two of my sons have December birthdays, so I get your point about the suckishness of that. Also, my first novel comes out from Viking next year and I can only imagine the thrill of having your publisher produce a cover that cool. HAPPY HOLIDAYS (and happy birthday)!
Thanks so much!
Scott, your cover rocks! ❤
Aww, thanks Jen!
Wow the cover looks amazing!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Gorgeous! I can’t wait to read the book behind the cover. 🙂
Knowing people are going to be reading it in less than a year sends me into a blind panic. 😉
But thank you so much!
Stunning! Truly–LOVE the lightning-eye and the mysteriously red house. Truly beautiful.
Aww, thank you! I knew there was a reason I liked you, Beth. 😉
