Cover Slut - Upcoming Release
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
There hasn't been a lot of stuff to report on upcoming releases lately so that's where there haven't been any Weekly Wishlist posts for a while, but I did run across a cover for a book that was included on a previous WW post:
UK release: January 2013
Summary: The epic story of the queen who founded the Tudor dynasty, told through the eyes of her loyal nursemaid. Perfect for fans of Philipa Gregory. Her beauty fuelled a war. Her courage captured a king. Her passion would launch the Tudor dynasty. When her own first child is tragically still-born, the young Mette is pressed into service as a wet-nurse at the court of the mad king, Charles VI of France. Her young charge is the princess, Catherine de Valois, caught up in the turbulence and chaos of life at court. Mette and the child forge a bond, one that transcends Mette's lowly position.
But as Catherine approaches womanhood, her unique position seals her fate as a pawn between two powerful dynasties. Her brother, The Dauphin and the dark and sinister, Duke of Burgundy will both use Catherine to further the cause of France. Catherine is powerless to stop them, but with the French defeat at the Battle of Agincourt, the tables turn and suddenly her currency has never been higher. But can Mette protect Catherine from forces at court who seek to harm her or will her loyalty to Catherine place her in even greater danger?
Thoughts?? Honestly, I"m not that crazy about it and not sure I would be attracted to it. Perhaps a different pose or a different model would have had a different result.

Surprisingly, I like the cover. She looks 'real'...not photo-shopped to present a perfect image of beauty.
