Surprise Double Cover Reveal

Or the one where I tease a less exciting countdown than Taylor Swift

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

It’s fun writing to you on a different day of the week. 🙂 

Thank you so much for tearing your eyes away from whatever Taylor’s done in the last 24 hours since I typed and scheduled this to open this email, because it contains something I find to be pretty exciting: TWO BRAND NEW COVERS.

That’s right - not only are you getting to see the Make You Mine this Christmas cover for the very first time, you’re getting a look at the new cover for Carry Me Through Christmas too!

The cover Ana made for CMTC’s debut three years ago will always have an extra special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to finish out the Brandt Brothers covers and who knows what else with her. I’m so grateful for Brooke Gilbert for her patience with me while we worked to get these covers just right! 😍

Make You Mine This Christmas is Austin’s story. If you’ve read Carry Me Through Christmas or Capitally Matched, you’ll know Austin as Cole and Charlotte’s BFF. Now it’s time to watch him get his Happy Ever After, with some cameos from some beloved pals along the way.

I’ll have so much more to share about Austin and his beau in the coming weeks, but wanted to give you a sneak peak of what’s to come before anyone else sees it!

With the Carry Me Through Christmas cover change - I know it’s frustrating when covers swap mid-series. When I started writing CMTC, I never intended for it to be a series. Giving it a fresh look will (hopefully) help it reach new readers, and I think the similar illustrated style means the OG CMTC can compliment the Make You Mine This Christmas cover even with this update.

The new cover for Carry Me Through Christmas is already available on Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, and from your favorite local indie bookstore. The new cover copies are what I’ll have at events for the rest of the year.

I’m keeping the old cover up on Amazon through the end of August and will then switch it out, for anyone who feels like they want to have that one. I have a few more copies at home too, if you’d like a signed copy from my website. And, once pre-orders go up for Make You Mine This Christmas, I’ll share an exclusive sale code with you all for big savings on the new CMTC cover at the same time for anyone who wants to snag one of those as well (with absolutely zero expectations anyone will use it - I just want to make it an option).

Thanks so much for sticking with me and allowing a bit of Christmas spirit to sneak into your August. So much more coming soon!

Romantically Yours,

Rachel
