International Cover Designs, and An International Book Giveaway

This week I thought I'd show you some of the international cover designs for The House at the Edge of Night. Here are the ones that have arrived with me so far!

Recently I've been sorting through them and marvelling at the many different and beautiful ways the cover designers have imagined the island of Castellamare. But there are a few to spare, and this got me thinking that I would like to share some of them with readers. As some of you already know, I'm currently on Day 332 of 365 in my 'Year in the Life of a Writer' project on Instagram. That project is all about sharing my daily view with readers, and recently its picked up quite an international community of followers. So I got thinking that since I'm going to be at my desk this month, working on my next book, I'd love to see pictures from wherever my readers are in the world.

To enter, follow me on Instagram at www.instagram.com/catherinebanner, and post a photo of your favourite view from where you live (it can be any view, no matter how 'picturesque' or untraditional, so long as it means something to you!). So I can see your entries, tag me or @ me in the Instagram comments, using the hashtag #thehouseattheedgeofnight. If you want to tell me a little bit about your view, in English or your own language, I would love that, but you don't have to. At the end of July, I'll pick a few of my favourites and mail the winners a book as a gift (you can pick the language!). I thought this would also be a nice way for me to get to meet some of the readers who are following my Instagram. I look forward to seeing your posts...
