This is the proposed cover for the first Daisy mystery, Death at Wentwater Court, in Polish translation.

What do you think of it?

Calling her Daisy D. gets around the difficulty of pronouncing Dalrymple in Polish, which I was wondering about.



Below, you can see the various incarnations of Death at Wentwater Court, for comparison.

Great cover: the UK edition of the next Daisy mystery. Coming in April 2011 in US and UK. You can see a larger version here.

Not so great news: Trillian came in from the garden absolutely covered in tiny burrs--forget-me-not, I think. Imagine trying to get them out of that tail! Brushing won't do it. I've been picking them out by hand at intervals all day.

Cornish village?

In my peregrinations up and down the West Coast, talking about and signing A Colourful Death, a number of people have commented on the charming picture of a Cornish village on the cover. I have to tell them it looks nothing like any Cornish village I've ever seen. Most of the building appear to be built of brick, a material seldom used in Cornwall, with its wealth of granite and slate. As you can see in this pic of Boscastle, natural stone, sometimes whitewashed, is the building material of choice.

Assuming the cover art is intended to represent one of Nick's slashed paintings, I have to conclude he must have been visiting another part of the country--Dorset perhaps--when he painted it!
