A lot of people have complimented me on the cover art for The Alchemist of Souls; indeed I liked it so much myself that I made the draft artwork into a desktop wallpaper so that I would feel inspired whenever I sat down to write. It seemed a shame to keep it to myself, though, so I got permission from Angry Robot to create an official version for wider consumption.
So, now you too can have mean’n'moody Mal Catlyn on your desktop to drool over, ahem, I mean admire! I’ve created two versions, one widescreen (8:5) and one standard proportion (4:3), both in sizes large enough for all but the biggest monitors.
Enjoy!

What a cracking idea!
Mal is very striking and one feels it wouldn’t be a bad thing to meet him down some dark alley…
Thanks Anne!
Sadly, I cannot open either on my computer. Any suggestions?
I’m seeing the same – there’s something wrong…
Sorry – seems the download manager I’m using doesn’t like JPG files. I’ve replaced the corrupted packages with direct links to the image files – just right-click and save as normal. Thanks for flagging this up!
Cheers Anne.
Very cool. But I need 2560 x 1440 :p
Ha, men! Always boasting about the size of their equipment
Thank you Anne for an amazing desktop wallpaper that has taken pride of place on my laptop, thank you so much! I look forward to reading the book Xx
