Well, it’s kinda true. I was looking for a suitable, inexpensive premade cover for Cloudy With a Chance of Dropbears so I could finally publish that novellette.
And as often happens when I do that, I first found a suitable cover for another book. Luckily for me, it was Playing Hearts for which I found a suitable new cover.
It’s lucky for you guys, too, since the previous cover was the dreadful product of my own endeavours (hey, I’m a writer, not an artist).
And the blog post title says “bound” because the paperback is finally redone and prettied up with the new cover!
If you guys are new to the blog and/or new to me, Playing Hearts is my Alice in Wonderland novella riff featuring Australian girl Mabel, who grows up slipping between the “real” world and “Underland”.
Blurb is below the new cover for your perusal, along with all the links should you wish to purchase! Enjoy!
It begins the way it has always begun: with a card on Mabel’s pillow. But Mabel has been in Underland before, and she’s not so anxious to go back. No matter what name it takes, Underland is always bizarre, always mad, always dangerous.
There’s the Queen of Hearts, terrifying, powerful, and possibly insane. There’s Hatter, purple-eyed and undoubtedly mad. March Hare has always been one sandwich short of a picnic, and Sir Blanc is missing his wits.
And then there’s Jack. Jack the aristocratic son of the Queen. Not quite mad, but not far off. Disinclined to help anyone but himself. A liar. And, thanks to an ancient ceremony performed by the Queen, Mabel’s fiancé.
Fall into the rabbit hole with Mabel as she climbs through tea-pots, battles the Jabberwock, and attempts to overthrow the Queen of Hearts herself.
Don’t lose your head.
And whatever you do, don’t be late…

Loving the facelift! This was one of your first books I read and I enjoyed it so much!
It’s about time the poor thing got a facelift…
Woah this is gorgeous! I loved this when I read it a couple years ago, so glad to see it get a cover to match how good it is inside! Are there any other books you’re planning to get new covers for?
Wolfskin will EVENTUALLY get a new cover, but not for a little while yet =) I’m so delighted to finally have put a decent cover on it 😀
