One thing I love doing as an author (and as a human!) is celebrating other authors! Today I’m excited to share the cover for Lake Effect by Nicole Tone. The book is set to release this fall from Pen Name Publishing. I’m super excited to get my hands on this one as it’s being compared to Laurie Halse Anderson’s Speak (of which I am a huge fan!) and Melissa Bank’s The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing (a flash from the past for me!). Check out the blurb below:
After the death of her fiance, Sophie Daniels is struggling to keep herself together. Painting is the only way she’s able to clear her head and stay grounded. For her art isn’t a hobby—it’s her religion. With a semester away from finishing graduate school, she knows that, despite her loss, things are going to get better. In fact, her thesis advisor has even taken a special interest in her. Sophie’s convinced that she’s found the mentor that she’s been looking for. When he shows he’s interested in her in more than just a student/teacher way, she obliges him. Until his wife leaves him.
Sophie learns the hard way what happens when a man cannot take responsibility for his own actions.
Now she’s back to square one in pulling herself back together. She hasn’t just lost her fiancé anymore: she’s lost parts of herself she’s not sure she’ll ever get back.
Like her ability to create.
Lake Effect is a raw exploration of human emotion and what it takes to save your own life.
Sounds like a great read for cozy nights under a blanket, right? You can check it out on Goodreads here.
And now, it’s time for the cover!!!
I love it! Another hit by the chief designer at Pen Name Publishing, Dionne Abouelela! All of Pen Name’s covers are fantastic.
Can’t wait for this one and make sure to add it to your Goodreads list!
xo, Leslie
