Hello again! I'm finally ready to announce my next novel's title, show off the cover, and air my draft book description. Here, to start with, is the cover -- which will also tell you the title.
I love it! Rebeca of Rebecacovers (on Fiverr) did the cover and patiently endured my multiple requests for tweaks and my delay in providing a title.
The subtitle, "A Novel of Humans and Fae," gives a bit of an idea as to where I'm going this time, but here's a more complete explanation. Please weigh in as to whether this description intrigues you, and let me know about any words or phrases that annoy you!
--------
The many wondrous realms the Fair Folk inhabit offer tempting opportunities for mortals hoping to benefit from faerie magic. But making bargains with the Fair Folk is a dangerous business, for the fae have a habit of leaving loopholes to ensnare the unwary. Father-and-daughter lawyers Abe and Adira have made a career out of helping their fellow humans reach such agreements safely.
Abe and Adira know the rules for dealing with Fair Folk: don't reveal your true name, don't say thank you, don't accept gifts, don't eat fae food, don't tell even the slightest of lies . . . . Oh, and always, no matter the provocation, be unfailingly polite.
A moment of carelessness, a brief lapse, and a professional defender of mortal interests may be in dire need of rescue.
--------
Yup, Fair Folk and lawyers! I hope the description convinces any doubters that this combination makes more sense than they may have initially thought.
I haven't had the cover in hand all that long, but I've held off on this announcement for a few days in order to include a preorder link (for the Kindle edition). Here's that link!
I'll be seeking beta readers, and then reviewers, well before the September 15th release date. If you'd be interested in either role, please let me know in the comments.
