Now it's Time to See the Australian Cover! Plus June's Bijoux List.
Last month I showed you the gorgeous North American cover for THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ASTRID BRICARD; this month I have the Australian cover to show off!
Drum roll …. Are you ready for some jaw-dropping gorgeousness? Here it is!
What do you think? It’s very different to the North American cover, isn’t it? I think it’s fascinating how the books are interpreted in such a variety of ways in each territory. I hope you love it as much as I do because I can’t wait to share this book with you! It’s my firm favourite out of everything I’ve written, with a story that spans almost one hundred years and three generations.
Here’s a closer look at just the beautiful cover:
And if you’ve been dying to get your hands on this book – good news! You can preorder THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ASTRID BRICARD right now. Just a reminder of publication dates – this will be available on September 27 in Australia and on January 30 in North America. To find out more about the book, you can visit my website here.
The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard
Muse. Legend. Mother.
Three generations. One chance to prove themselves. Can the women of the Bricard fashion dynasty finally rewrite their history?
French countryside, Present Day: Blythe Bricard is the daughter of famous fashion muses but that doesn't mean she wants to be one. She turned her back on that world, and her dreams, years ago. Fate, however, has a different plan, and Blythe will discover there is more to her iconic mother and grandmother than she ever knew.
New York, 1970: Designer Astrid Bricard arrives in bohemian Chelsea determined to change the fashion world forever. And she does - cast as muse to her lover, Hawk Jones. When they're both invited to compete against the French in the fashion event of the century - the Battle of Versailles - Astrid sacrifices everything to showcase her talent. But then, at this turning point in her career, she mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind only a white silk dress.
Paris, 1917: Parentless sixteen-year-old Mizza Bricard has made a vow: to be remembered on her own terms. Her promise drives her through decades and couture houses until, finally, her name is remembered and a legend created - one that proves impossible for Astrid and Blythe to erase themselves from.
Now For June’s Bijoux List!
Thanks to my free subscribers for joining us for the cover reveal! This is where the paywall kicks in, I’m sorry, as we move into the Bijoux List.
In this month’s Bijoux List I have all the usual sections for you, including my Amazing Woman of the Month, my TV and book recommendations, some fashion fun and my monthly highlight, which is … Hawaii!
Yes, I’m in Hawaii right now for a writing retreat with nine other authors who all share the incredible Kevan Lyon as their literary agent. So I’ve combined this with my usual travel pics section as they are pretty much one and the same this month. Let me tell you all about it!
