Introducing House of Diamonds, and I hope people will love this cover as much as I do!
But wait, that's not all. You must see the full shot to see what brilliant treatment the designer gave the back of the book.
The summary is written on the sheet of paper, because in House of Diamonds Marcie McGill dreams of becoming a published author and writing her first book. I doubt if you can read it on this thumbnail but here's what it says:

The summary is written on the sheet of paper, because in House of Diamonds Marcie McGill dreams of becoming a published author and writing her first book. I doubt if you can read it on this thumbnail but here's what it says:
In this sequel to Gowen’s debut novel, Uncut Diamonds, she follows sisters Cindy and Marcie as they reach a crossroads in their lives. House of Diamonds tells the stories of two women, one facing opportunity the other tragedy. Can their bond endure?
Marcie pursues her dream of becoming a published writer while Cindy faces a terrible tragedy. In this gripping story of faith, loss and the transcending nature of sacrifice, Gowen gives voice to a beloved baby who has none. She shows the incredible power that comes to families when they pull together to overcome challenges. It is at these times that a house of pain can become a house of diamonds.

Ha! Congratulations to you! It is gorgeous, and I like the description. You and I are riding the same wave today... I got my cover yesterday and blogged about it today--too funny.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. And I like the summary on the notebook paper. How exciting it must be to see your new book cover for the first time. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that I will add it. All the reviews I have read thus far are fabulous.
ReplyDeletecongrats.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen .. I love the book and the look of it - wonderful news and congratulations ... I must read Farm Girl, which is waiting for me .. The story line sounds fascinating .. I know I'll enjoy it .. it'll be on my TBR - no doubt you'll remind us again! Cheers and enjoy the weekend .. Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely cover, and I would certainly take note of it on a shelf of new releases.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely cover, Karen, the deisgner did a great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cover! Congratulations on the newest addition to your book family. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks a lot like the earlier one, of course, but it also has its own nice twist. I love the rear cover.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I do love the back.
ReplyDeleteCompletely lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you to everyone for your positive and welcoming comments! I love the back, too. The designer wanted to use the flower with the diamond to have continuity with the two books, but also to give it a different tone and feel, that would be specific to this story, and I think he succeeded.
ReplyDeleteThe background even looks kind of wintry and snowy, and if you were an ARC reviewer who remembers the final scene, you'll see how perfectly it fits that last scene.
Anyway, I am more than thrilled. I waited a long time for this cover and it's worth the wait!
Fabulous cover. You must be so excited. Congratulations (I think I've said that to you before but... hay!)
ReplyDeleteLovely cover.
ReplyDeleteLove the cover. Isn't it a great feeling when a project comes together?
ReplyDeleteMuch luck with the book.
