Just had to share this beauty again after my editor showed me the full cover, front and back, for The Glamourist. The story is firmly mid-summer mischief (out June 9, 2020), but isn’t the cover dazzling and seasonal with all that red?
*Thanks again to the team at 47North and designer Micaela Alcaino for the brilliant cover. It’s so Yvette.
“Neat rows of blackened vines, old and twisted like the capable hands of Grand-mere, greeted her midhill. The winter pruning had begun. Three men worked the fields with their brouettes, smoke rising from the char cans where they burned the clippings from last year’s growth. The ashes, rich in nutrients, would be spread on the ground to feed the roots through winter in the great cycle of life and death.” — The Vine Witch
It’s much the same for people, isn’t it? At least it is for this writer. Winter is a time for staying in near the fire and letting the creative well refill itself on the magical energy of the season. Much thanks again to everyone reading The Vine Witch and anticipating the release of The Glamourist. I wish you all a most wonderful December!
Book two in The Vine Witch Series.
Here is the story summary for The Glamourist, book two in The Vine Witch Series. I can’t wait for you to read it! Out June 9, 2020…
A spellbinding novel of bloodlines, self-discovery, and redemption by the author of the Washington Post bestseller The Vine Witch.
Abandoned as a child in turn-of-the-century Paris, Yvette Lenoir has longed to uncover the secrets of her magical heritage and tap her suppressed powers. But what brave and resourceful Yvette has done to survive the streets has made her a fugitive. With a price on her head, she clings to a memento from her past—what she believes to be a grimoire inherited from the mother she never knew. To unlock the secrets of her past, Yvette trusts in one woman to help solve the arcane riddles among its charmed pages.
Elena Boureanu is the vine witch of Château Renard, noted for its renowned wines. Even as she struggles with her own bloodline—and its poisonous threat to her future—Elena can’t ignore a friend on the run. Joined by a cunning thief, the proprietor of an enchanted-curio shop, and a bewitching black cat, Elena and Yvette are determined to decode Yvette’s mysterious keepsake. But what restless magic will be unleashed? And what are Yvette and Elena willing to risk to become the witches they were destined to be?
Old World Vine witches?
