The Cover Reveal!
It’s been a long time in coming, but I finally have the cover art for AUSTENTATIOUS! !
And to celebrate, I’m hosting a little giveaway. To enter, let me know in the comments, here on the blog, on Facebook, or on Twitter what you like best about the cover. I will draw a winner at random out of all the entries on August 1st, and the winner will receive a $15 gift card to Amazon.com.
So get crackin’!
I’ll start…I like how the cover looks simultaniously modern and vintage, which goes very well with the theme of the book. Okay, now your turn…

It’s so eye catching, like on a shelf of books, this one will get noticed. I also adore the caption, it is my new life motto! Also congrats!

Thank you, thank you, Sarakastic!!

You almost feel like this is Jane Austen’s great-great-great granddaughter (yes, she’d have to have descended from a secret baby…but so what?
Okay. For the sake of Jane’s rep, you could say she looks like Jane Austen, if JA time-traveled to present day.
Congrats on a beautiful cover.

The cover makes me want to read the book because I NEED to know what she is thinking about!
07/26/2011 at 5:42 pm
Obsession…I like it! 😉
07/26/2011 at 12:47 pm

No need to enter me in the contest; just wanted to say: Congrats, Alyssa!!! The cover is lovely–like others have said, it’s intriguing bc/ we want to know what she’s so wistfully thinking about. Love the cool necklace, too!
07/26/2011 at 5:46 pm
Thank you, Eve! I’m glad it has you curious…
07/26/2011 at 3:01 pm
Congratulations, Alyssa!!!!
It’s a wonderful cover — her absorption in the Austen story she’s reading reminded me of all the times I’ve felt that way reading an amazing novel ;).
07/26/2011 at 5:47 pm
I know exactly what you mean, Marilyn! Thank you!
07/26/2011 at 3:58 pm
I love it, Alyssa. It looks like the book transported her worlds away. Congratulations on an amazing cover!
07/26/2011 at 5:48 pm

Fantastic cover! I love it, Alyssa! Congratulaions!

Thanks so much, Colleen!

I love the feel of the cover. The look on her face combined with the old books draws you in. You want to know what’s going on so you’re compelled to discover the answer to the questions the cover raises.
Gorgeous cover! Congratulations!
Hugs,
Tambra

Perfect reaction, Tambra! 😉 Thank you!

Oh, wow! I LOVE it! Absolutely gorgeous. Hard to pick my favorite part, but I’ll go with…the way part of the font is plain and part is italicized, to really emphasize it, but you can still read the title. Some books get so fancy, that you can’t read the titles at all.
07/26/2011 at 10:28 pm
I agree with you on the font, Caryn. Thanks!
07/27/2011 at 4:52 am
Wow, it’s lovely! Congratulations!
07/27/2011 at 1:09 pm
Thanks so much, Allie!
07/27/2011 at 2:05 pm
It’s an edgy woman with a BOOK! What’s not to love? And the title font is perfection.
07/27/2011 at 2:32 pm
Thank you, Green Girl!

Tambra conveyed beautifully my first impression of your cover. It’s great. And is it just me or does anyone else think the girl on the cover resembles Alyssa a bit?
Can’t wait for the release!
07/29/2011 at 2:32 pm
Hmmm…maybe I’ll dye my hair and spike it a bit for release day, Lucy.
Thanks!
07/29/2011 at 12:30 pm
You had me at “Austen”! Enchanting cover. Can’t wait!
07/29/2011 at 2:32 pm
Thank you, MistyBee!
07/29/2011 at 3:01 pm
Hello! Beautiful woman on the cover who reads. You got the nerd dollar locked up. Congratulations.
07/29/2011 at 3:38 pm
Score! Thanks, Alec!
07/31/2011 at 4:25 pm
Love the book cover. The young lady looks lost in thought…..makes you wonder what she is thinking about.
That she is on top of books it makes you wonder….is she a librian, a teacher, an avid reader, someone who gets lost in books, etc….
07/31/2011 at 9:25 pm
So the mystery is drawing you in…? Excellent! Thanks, Lori!
07/31/2011 at 5:20 pm
Ooh, that is gorgeous! I love the colors and how striking the photograph is.
07/31/2011 at 9:25 pm
Thanks so much, Stephanie! And thank you for the retweet too!
07/31/2011 at 6:14 pm
I love the way the girl is hunched so awkwardly over the books like she’s trying to hide something or maybe protect the book. Did she write the book or is it just special to her? Great cover!
07/31/2011 at 9:26 pm
I love that it piques your curiosity, Katie!
08/01/2011 at 1:37 am
Hmm, that picture is vaguely reminiscent of a woman I knew a few years back.
08/01/2011 at 3:29 am
I bet very vaguely.
08/02/2011 at 5:34 am
Congratulations, the cover looks great. She looks so drawn into the book.
