Allen & Unwin just tweeted this. How is the beauty? And I was so happy to see the bee. Just the week before I’d seen another book with bees on the cover and thought wistfully ‘I wish I had a bee on my cover’ and then forgot about it. And there it is. Meant to bee. (Sorry)

Beautiful, Jenny!
Didn’t have to wait as long as I thought I might to share. They spring these covers on you, A&U. Saw it happen to Susan Johnson a couple of weeks ago. Makes it exciting for the author too I suppose.
Now that is bee-ootiful (sorry)! So exciting. Can’t wait to read it! x
Thanks Tracy x
So exciting! It’s beautiful, seeing your name on that cover! And of course, I can’t wait to read it! Yours will be the first novel I will have read in years!
Thanks Jo. Oh god, hope you like it then. Talk about pressure! x
Wowee! It’s lovely Jen x
Thanks love. And saw your post on your bees. This has bees in it. And I was so happy to see the bee on the cover. I hadn’t even mentioned it when they asked me for my ideas, other than as a motif if they did a cover a la Turkish rug. What stage are you up to with your second one? x
The bee is perfect Jen. I think you posted this while I was out there working bees.
And the book? Into the editing next month. Phrew.
that cover is divine. i have no idea what your books about but the cover makes me want to read it!
Hi Clare, so glad to hear you find it enticing! I am amazed myself with how beautifully the publisher has done it.
book designers are talented people!
