Despite the large piles of paper that accumulate around my desk, the books never seem quite real to me until they have attained a title and a cover. Until then, they’re just those large piles of paper.
It gives me great pleasure to unveil the upcoming installment of the Pink Carnation Chronicles. Voila The Betrayal of the Blood Lily!

hmm…seems more vivid than the previous covers, I’ll have to get used to it-but I do like it anyways.
Thanks for sharing Lauren!

It’s India. She’s a red-head-of course it’s more vivid. (I am a strawberry-blond, myself.)

I do love the color!
one thing though I wish these were identified as novels in a series. I also wished they were numbered. I was confused when I first started reading.
Is the figure cut from a painting? Or is that the actual painting?
Nice cover. It really helps balance the title its darkness.

These books cannot come out fast enough to suit me - I am totally addicted. I am now almost as interested in the Eloise/Colin romance as I am who the newest spy will be!
