After overwhelming fan response and surveys, Tor Books has decided to adapt the UK version of the WINDS OF DUNE cover for the US release.  Most of the feedback I’ve received from readers who compared the two was that they found the UK version much more striking.

Stephen Youll has done an incredible job for us on the past ten DUNE covers, and his painting for WINDS was up to his usual excellence.  However, after more than a decade of using the same cover design, with the small-format painting in a foil window, the publisher wanted to try a fresh approach this time.  I am sure we’ll see Stephen back for the next cover.

Two new interviews have also just gone up:
