War of Loyalties Cover Reveal

A Friday post! Because my Fridays have freed up and that makes me happy :) And because the cover reveal  is today only.

First up, I have an absolutely GORGEOUS cover for you. No, it's not one of mine, so I'm completely unprejudiced in saying that!!

This cover is for Schuyler McConkey's War of Loyalties which is being published this fall!! You guys, I am SO excited for this book! Like ... more than I get excited about famous people's books.

I first learned about it through Schuyler's blog and immediately liked the concept. There are so many unique characters. And it's historical fiction, which is obviously the best ever. (Do not fight me on this one.) But I'm getting ahead of myself! First the cover, then the blurb.


April, 1917. A ring of German spies threatens the coastal town of Folkestone, England. Newly-recruited agent Ben Dorroll must uncover which British citizens are traitors to their country. When his first attempt at espionage falls prey to a trap laid by German sympathizers, the security of the British Secret Service is threatened. Feeling lost in a strange country and aching for a steady place to call home, he wants to resign and go back to his American medical work. But when he learns that his family identity holds the key to capturing the spy ring, Ben has no choice but to unite with the mysterious Jaeryn Graham so that the truth can be discovered. 

 In the aftermath of the Irish Rebellion, Jaeryn Graham's British colleagues look warily on his Irish background. Always up for a challenge, he thinks his a new mission in the Secret Service should be an opportunity to prove his prowess. But after an encounter with death and alienating two agents, he finds the road to victory isn't as easy as he thought. Unless he can win the loyalties of his newest assistant, Ben Dorroll, his secret ambitions and his perfect success record will be destroyed.

That should excite you, no matter what you enjoy reading! ;) I'm so glad that Schuyler is going to be able to publish her novel this year, the centennial of WWI, during which the book is set. More specifically: November 30th!

Until then:

      Aw, I'm so glad, Megs!! I love the "feel" of it--I think it really fit some of the inner journey of the main character. :D

    A good cover for me is usually one that makes me ask questions or just thoroughly intrigues me. That's basically the most subjective answer I could've given, but here are a few examples of my favorite covers:

    -If I Run by Terri Blackstock (yes I read it and it's only like MY FAVORITE BOOK COVER EVER.)
    -Four by Veronica Roth (IT'S A NIGHT SKY AND THERE'S THE FARRIS WHEEL AND UGH IT'S JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL.)
    -Martin Hospitality by Abigayle Claire. (Oh my goodness, this book cover is so simple, yet entirely complex. It's really an amazing book and it's listed on my google account because it's so good. (Just click on my name and it should take you to my google account page if you wanna know more about my favorite things.) You should check it out. I've talked with the author a few times via her blog and she's super cool and has so many amazing writing tips.)
