There’s a cool profile of me in Publisher’s Weekly this week. Much is revealed about Leviathan, but in a non-spoilery way.
You can’t see this on the online version, but they use this awesome steampunk portrait of me by Theo Black.

As you can see, my website has had its first makeover in many years. This is to celebrate the fact that my first new series in years, Leviathan, comes out this autumn. (October 6, to be exact.)
Things may be wonky for a while as we play around under the hood. But I hope you enjoy the new look. Let me know what you think!

Those are fantastic!
July 20th, 2009 23:01
ZOMG, 3! OMG, AMAZING Steampunkery!
July 20th, 2009 23:02
seriously. I wish I was famous enough to have a themed portrait of me.
Does anyone know how to do intaglio/banknote style portraits? :3
July 20th, 2009 23:14
Cool goggles!
July 20th, 2009 23:19
So cool!
By the way, anything new about the movie, Scott- Senei?
July 20th, 2009 23:21
I really want goggles like that…that was a cool article, too. You’ve NEVER spoken to the artist? That’s pretty entertaining. Do you plan on, um, actually speaking with him by the time the book comes out?
Also, are you coming to San Diego during the tour?
July 20th, 2009 23:24
The goggles are awesome, but where’s the Victorian waistcoat? Or the pocket watch?

I ♥ steampunk! It’s so awesome! Love the goggles (I wish I had steampunky goggles)!
That article makes me want to read Leviathan even more!!! I didn’t even think it was possible to want it more than I already did, but I guess I was wrong.
July 21st, 2009 01:16

i totally had a dream the other night, starring you and justine!
We were in a book store and I didn’t like the books you guys were trying to make me read….
hehe

That’s a pretty awesome overview, except for one little factual error: Keith Thompson illustrated Kenneth Oppel’s novel Darkwing (although I’m not sure if that was just for the softcover release). Either way, it was something I immediately recognised when you posted the first piece of art.
Great portrait!
July 21st, 2009 15:49
Well spotted, Ally-wa! Keith said told the interviewer that, but she missed it. (And maybe I forgot about it when I talked to her.)
July 21st, 2009 17:54
AHHHHH i’m commenting after scott!!!!! i just read the article and almost fell out of my chair with joy. every time hear even the slightest bit more news of Leviathan i go crazy!!!! i’m soooo extremely excited. And Scott that picture is pretty snappy.
July 21st, 2009 21:30

July 21st, 2009 23:16
October 6 is looking better and better…
July 22nd, 2009 01:06
I gotta say, I’m pretty envious of your German goggles.
So glad to hear more about the plot/ideas behind Leviathan! I can’t wait for it. I started snooping around on Keith Thompson’s website and I’m amazed by his work.
July 22nd, 2009 01:22
WOW! I can’t wait for this book now. There’s just one thing bugging me, how excatly do you pronounce the name of your book(s)?
Love all the books of yours I’ve read so far. You just can’t disappoint.
July 22nd, 2009 01:36
Yay the book actually sounds interesting now!!!
July 22nd, 2009 01:37
Ping to Amy-la: OMG! You sound exactally like me! LOL!
July 22nd, 2009 05:07

Okay, I REALLY hope he didn’t mean it when he said that this might be his last big series. First Harry Potter books go, then possibly Scott Westerfeld’s–I’m going to run out of things to read! (Well, probably not, but still….)
I think I’m speaking for a lot of wanna-be authors out there when I say that I really, REALLY hope that I don’t have to start out with editing those dreaded cinderblocks called “textbooks.”
On a random note that should probably be put on the last discussion board, because I realised it from that video: am I the only one who was totally pronouncing “Leviathan” wrong? I thought it was pronounced ‘Lee-vee-uh-than,’ not ‘Leh-vi-uh-than’!
July 22nd, 2009 11:44
Ping to Name-la: As I’m a fast reader, I suffer from the dreaded disease of n o t actually looking at the words I read. So when I look at Leviathun, I pronounce it:
Leh-vee-thee-un!
Why?
Because I am the MASTER of mispronounciation.
July 22nd, 2009 19:03
ping to Name-La: well if you run out of books to read you should read the luxe series by Anna Godbersen. they are really good.
ping to Holly-Wa: i am a fast reader to and i like to wait till an entire siries comes out so i don’t have to wait for the next one to come out, i just finished the first 3 books in the luxe series, and i recently discovered that there was a new one coming out! 8( and now i have to wait 3 months for the next one 2 come out! *tear* 8(
ping to every1: i won’t be able to blog for a week because i am going to my grandparents house in North Carolina and they have no internet service! 8( *aaaaaaggggggghhhhhhhhh* goodbye my blogging buddies! til next time!
July 22nd, 2009 19:04

July 23rd, 2009 19:50
Do the comments work again yet? If you’re reading this, then they do . . .
July 24th, 2009 08:04
First of all I’d like to say I approve of the upgraded site. Much better. Secondly, I’d like to say I’m very very very excited to read this, and for the tour in Washington state. LOL I’m not usually into military fantasy stuff like this, but you wrote it so I’ll give it a try =)

idk why, but just glancing at that w/ a glimpse using my peripheral (sp?) vision made me see Mike Rowe when he used to host Dirty Jobs…hmmm
September 7th, 2009 18:43
