We have a cover reveal today for borg readers! Take a look at this great cover by Brett Helquist, artist for A Series of Unfortunate Events and other great covers and picture books. It’s for Elizabeth C. Bunce′s second novel in her Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries series, How to Get Away with Myrtle. As a result of prioritization by distributors and national shipping companies of food and other staples due to the pandemic crisis response, How to Get Away with Myrtle will now join the first book in the series, Premeditated Myrtle, to launch together as Fall 2020 releases, debuting October 6 (both are now available for pre-order here at Amazon). “I didn’t think I could love a cover more than Brett’s first for the series, and then… Wow! Here we are with the cover for Book 2 already,” said Elizabeth. “We shared some ideas back and forth through the Algonquin publicity team. I love the complimentary color orange following that purple theme from Book 1. Putting that great locomotive out front sets the stage for this adventure, along with the image of the seaside resort as if it were pulled right off the brochure for the excursion service referenced in the novel. And, of course, Peony the Cat sneaked her way onto the cover again! Now that we have two paintings from Brett, it’s really fun for me to see both covers side by side.”
