Cover Reveal: The Secrets of Strangers by Jess Kitching

Today I am excited to help in the cover reveal for Jess Kitching’s upcoming novel The Secrets of Strangers!
Please note that there are different publication dates depending where in the world you live:
Australia Paperback: April 28th
Global E-book and Audiobook release: April 28th
UK Paperback: July 16th
The author is from Australia, it makes sense it is released physically there first! Those of us in the USA will have to wait a bit longer for the physical version, but you can still read it on April 28th. And being my birthday is April 29th, maybe I will give myself an early birthday gift!
Book Description:
After suffering a loss, Janine and her husband Kamal need a fresh start. They leave their family and everything they know in Manchester and move to Bamblethorpe, a picturesque Lancashire village where they expect nothing but peace and quiet. It’ll be just what Janine, a thriller writer, needs to work on her next manuscript.
But the peace of their new village life is disrupted when longtime local Alexa Clarke goes missing out of the blue. Did she leave her husband like some people suspect? Or is there credibility to the rumours that something more nefarious has happened to Alexa?
Frozen by writer’s block, Janine stumbles into investigating Alexa’s disappearance, and the more she discovers about Alexa’s life, the more complicated things become. Nothing is as it seems, and Janine begins to realise that there are disturbing parallels between Alexa’s life and her own.
What starts as curious procrastination quickly spirals into a tangled web of secrets, lies and a truth Janine may not be ready to face … if she survives.
A propulsive thriller about a writer who gets caught up in the case of a missing woman, for fans of Lisa Jewell, Paula Hawkins and Ruth Ware.

Cover Reveal: Don’t Forget the Crazy by Lucy Kaufman

Today I am helping in the cover reveal for Don’t Forget the Crazy by Lucy Kaufman. This is a short story at just 57 pages and is a dark psychological suspense short story about obsession, perfection, and the dangerous pressure of always being “the good girl.” I am intrigued by this one and if you are as well you will be able to read it on November 30th!

Short Story Description:
Her lists are life or death.
“If it’s on the list, I have to do it.”
Milli Morgan lives by her lists. Groceries, goals, organising her boss – nothing escapes being ticked off her ever-growing to-do lists. Order brings her comfort; control keeps the chaos at bay. Everyone can rely on Milli.
Until the day new items start appearing on her list in red ink.
At first, she blames stress. A prank. Someone playing mind-games. But one instruction on the list refuses to be erased and demands to be completed.
A command so terrible she would have to be crazy to tick it off.
