What is thissss? Two posts in one week? WHY YES. But don’t worry, this one will be brief. (Especially since Monday’s post probably broke the internet it was so massive. *cough*)
BUT I HAVE THRILLING NEWS. Not to mention something gorgeous to show you guys. *grins*
My friend and fellow blogger is getting a story published very soon here. *SQUEALS* Oh. And guess what? IT’S A BEAUTY AND THE BEAST RETELLING. *more squealing* Obviously I’m excited.
Jack Lewis Baillot is the author of Brothers-in-Arms, a World War II novel that ripped my heart out, stomped on it, burned it into ashes, and threw the ashes into the ocean. OBVIOUSLY I LOVED IT. (I reviewed it a looong while back if you’re curious.) So naturally I am beyond ecstatic for this new story of hers. Which I actually read yeeears ago, back in its early, smol days. AND IT WAS SO GOOD. So, so good. I cannot wait to have it in print and finalized.
Oh wait. You’re actually here for something other than my ramblings aren’t you? Okay, okay!
As the title of this post suggests, WE HAVE A COVER. And it is beautimous. And yes, you can see it now.
Ready?

FINDING THE MAGIC
Fifteen-year-old Belle is sent to the countryside to escape the London bombings of WWII. She knows she will miss her mother and worry about her father, who is away fighting in the war, but has no idea what awaits her in the manor in which she is to live. She finds friends in the staff but the mysterious and elusive master of the house frightens her. Can she teach him to find the magic in a world where magic seems to be long gone?
THE AUTHOR
Jack is an author, which is why she spends much of her time writing and little of her time editing. She likes to follow characters around and tell their stories even if they don’t tell her everything they know about their stories.
She lives alone in a Hobbit hole and spends her spare time with her nose stuck in a book. When she isn’t doing that she is busy baking bread and annoying her neighbors with bagpipes.
Find her on her Blog!
YES. It is in fact a WWII Beauty and the Beast retelling with an entirely different take on the story we know and love. And come on, guys, dat cover. *drools* I cannot waaaait to have a copy of this on my shelves! Do keep your eyes peeled for this one.
