Cover Reveal! A Falling Friend by Sue Featherstone and Susan Pape

And if the excitement couldn't build any more, I have another very personal cover reveal for you today. My most recent acquisition for Lakewater Press, A Falling Friend, is a book I fell for immediately. I was hooked with the voice of two uber talented authors. It's a women's fiction that is clever, detailed and impressive. If you like character-driven stories with a healthy dose of real humour, then this one is for you.

So, while we prep up for its release early next year, here is the cover!

Gorgeous, right?!

And here's the blurb!

After spending her twenties sailing the globe, making love on fine white sand, and thinking only of today, Teri Meyer returns to Yorkshire—and to studying. That's when she discovers John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester, and poet of all things depraved. What she doesn't realise is even beyond his grave, his influence over her is extraordinary. To hell with the consequences.

Having gone out on a limb to get old friend Teri a job at the university at which she teaches, it doesn't take long for Lee Harper to recognise a pattern. Wherever Teri goes, whatever she does, every selfish choice she makes, it's all setting her up for a nasty fall. But Teri's not the sort to heed a warning, so Lee has no choice but to stand by and watch. And besides, she has her own life to straighten out.

A clever, raw and hilarious character-driven masterpiece that follows the lives of two friends with the same ambitions, but who have vastly different ways of achieving them.

And here's a little bit about the authors!
