Last week got off to an exciting start for me when Scott Evans, aka The Reader Teacher, unveiled the cover of my new book, Glassheart. I’d seen the artwork taking shape for a while and felt so happy to finally be able to share it with everyone else. As with Nevertell, Sandra Dieckman’s cover art continues to bewitch.
Glassheart is now up on Netgalley for all those with access, and available to pre order from Waterstones, Hive Books, Amazon, Foyles and more - probably your local independent bookshop too if you’d prefer (I’d just pop in and ask, or drop them a message).
This stage of the process - with a cover and a proof out there - can feel strange. It’s a bit like throwing the doors open to invite everyone in to your home, but not really knowing what they’ll make of it. Will they think it’s odd? Will they agree with your choices? Will they love it? Of course I always hope for the best, and Glassheart has already had some wonderful comments and reviews, which honestly fills me with joy.
So tell me, what’s your favourite part (or parts) of the cover? Mine without a doubt are the suggestion of little eyes when you look closely at the dark shapes on the ground, and most definitely the toadstools. I loved the toadstools so much in fact I even worked in a couple of mentions of them throughout the book!
