According to an official statement issued today da independent publisher AV Paranormal, the talisman image currently being used as the cover art for the novel Russet Noon will be the same one featured on the book cover when it is released as a paperback this Fall of 2009.
Numerous allegations of "theft" and "copyright infringement" have been made against autore Lady Sybilla for using the talisman image "without permission" from its creator, artist Stephanie Lostimolo.
On May 11, 2009, Lady Sybilla responded to these accusations with the following statement: "I have every intention of giving credit to the copyright owner of the talisman. I made a reasonable attempt to track down the artist da Scrivere an email to Michael Delahunt, the webmaster of link, but I never got a reply to my email. On his website, Delahunt refers to this image as a "talisman of unidentified origin and meaning," so obviously he doesn't know who the copyright owner is."
On June 1, 2009, a fandomwanker made the following claim on Journalfen.net: "Sybilla's still using an image cribbed from artist Stephanie Lostimolo, who created the talisman in 1999 for a Michael Whelan fan Art Contest (for which she got an honorable mention - scroll down and look in the right column). te can't find the talisman image on the current incarnation of her site, but she has reused it since (worn da a character). Lady Sybilla is using this image as the new cover of Russet Noon on her website and in press releases, despite not knowing the image's origin (and therefore neither crediting Lostimolo, nor obtaining permission to use it)."
Upon learning about this post, Lady Sybilla immediately contacted Stephanie Lostimolo da email, requesting permission to use the image as the official cover art for Russet Noon.
On June 19, 2009, Ms. Lostimolo replied to Sybilla's request. Her email is as follows:

Russet Noon is a tribute sequel to the last installment in the Twilight Saga book series da bestselling autore Stephenie Meyer. Lady Sybilla has also written a letter to Stephenie Meyer's publisher Little, Brown, requesting permission to pubblica Russet Noon officially, but, so far, there has been no response.
According to laymen interpretations of copyright laws postato on various forum around the web, Lady Sybilla and her independent publishing company, AV Paranormal, should be sued for copyright infringement. However, no legal action has been taken against the novel as of yet. Furthermore, there has been no attempt whatsoever on the part of Stephenie Meyer o her publisher, Little, Brown, to stop the publication of Russet Noon.
As of today, all attempts to ban the publication of Russet Noon have failed. It appears that the much defamed fan-fiction piece is destined to go down in history as "the little novel that could."

God and His priests and His kings
All were waiting
All will wait
As they go over
Mmm, held between heaven and hell
As they're dancing
As they dance over and over
Over
Cold
Cold
Crimson and bare as I stand
Yours completely
Yours as we go over
Sing for the lion and agnello
Their hearts are hunting
Still hearts hold ever and ever
Ever
Cold
Cold
God and His priests and His kings
Turn their faces
Even they feel the cold
Ooooooh, ooooooh
What te are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What te are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What te are given
Can't be forgotten
Cold
All were waiting
All will wait
As they go over
Mmm, held between heaven and hell
As they're dancing
As they dance over and over
Over
Cold
Cold
Crimson and bare as I stand
Yours completely
Yours as we go over
Sing for the lion and agnello
Their hearts are hunting
Still hearts hold ever and ever
Ever
Cold
Cold
God and His priests and His kings
Turn their faces
Even they feel the cold
Ooooooh, ooooooh
What te are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What te are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What te are given
Can't be forgotten
Cold
