Reveals and Reels

Of the exciting things that surround a novel’s publication, the cover reveal has to be near the top of the list. Here is how it happened. First, there was the teaser:

Then, the Fourth of July (Happy 250th Birthday, America) was the perfect day to do the full reveal to make pre-order available.

A novel so centered on the threats to American democracy just had to have a cover like this:

We set pre-orders for America’s 250 birthday and the hardcover release date for September 15th (International Day of Democracy) to highlight how important both our country and our democracy are to the content of the novel, and of course, to our lives.

At its heart, the story is a deeply American one, where personal liberties and the foundations of our democratic republic hang in the balance.

THE NOVEL ARRIVES

The moment it got real.
