I believe the title, Il Graffio della pantera, translates as something like "The Scratch of the Panther." (Many thanks to all the Twitter followers who helped me out with that this morning!)And...you can read the first chapter in Italian here. This really makes me wish I spoke Italian. Or had some pasta.
And, as always, I'm fascinated by how different the covers are for different foreign versions of my books. So here's a comparison:
(US, UK, Australian, French, Italian)
*The US and Canadian covers are the same
The French and Italian covers both focus on Faythe's cat eyes (which I love!) and they've changed the titles to "The Claws of the Night" and "The Scratch of the Panther" respectively. While Australia keeps the same title and cover art, but uses different fonts (my name on the Aussie cover is exactly the same as my name on the US and Aussie versions of my Soul Screamers series) and a stark black background. And so far, the Aussies are the only ones to add the official series title.
So, what do you think? Have a favorite?

I like the Australian and the French. The black background is cool because it makes Faythe stand out more and the French one is just so different! Of course now the Italian one is too! All very fabulous!
Congrats on the new country! Can't wait for Alpha!
Congratulations! I love all of the different covers.
Hello, I'm italian and tomorrow I'll buy your book!!! I'm very excited!
The Italian one is very pretty!! But my favoruite is either the US/UK (too similar to seperate) or French versions. They're all very cool though! I love seeing the differences between different countries.
Wow, that is an awesome cover! Congrats! :) It kind of makes me want pasta too....
I love them all, they are all fantastic, each a little different...but why do they do different covers anyway?
While I like the US one just fine I do like the high contrast the black background offers on the AUS cover. :)
I gotta say, personal opinion, that while I like the contrast and color and all of the Aussie, and in some ways prefer, I can't get over how it looks like they are staring straight as her... tail... instead of the starches at the hip. And I like the theme of the scratches through out the US/Canada/UK cover art, so I think those really would be my personal favorites.
