How often do you judge a book by its cover? Is it the first thing you’re drawn to, or is the title?

Here’s why I started Judge a Book by its Cover!

I’m posting only one book cover today; Talismans, Teacups & Trysts by K Starling. This book will be released on the 9th of July (only two days away) but it’s available for pre-order on Amazon

Why did this cover stand out for me?

It’s looks fun, adventurous, and magical. It reminds me of Mary Poppins. I think the black images really stand out. Definitely a book cover that makes me want to know more. Top marks from me!

The blurb reads;

Society insists that the life of an heiress ought to be consumed with dancing, polite conversation, and cards. The sadists!

As Penelope Sedgewick would rather fly to Saturn’s third moon than conform to society’s whims, she became a sleuth, investigating private matters for ladies—thefts, missing domesticated dragons, stolen charms… the usual. Of course, it is all very hush-hush. Do try to keep it that way.

When a routine inquiry into an elopement becomes derailed by a dead body (or two), and one dear to her is implicated, Penelope’s skills will be put to the test.

With so much on the line, it will take a combination of her intelligence, magical abilities (Shhh! These are also secret), and marksmanship to protect that which she holds dear while shielding the innocent.

Talismans, Teacups, and Trysts is the premier novel in the Alderwood Regency Fantasies—a series of cozy fantasies set in a reimagined regency world filled with dragons, magic, and intrigue.

If regency fantasies are a genre you like to indulge in, then Talismans, Teacups & Trysts may be one for you.

What do you think of the cover? Would it entice you to find out more about the story? Please let me know in the comments!

Thank you for reading!

If a family saga set in a small Irish town is up your street, you might like to have a peek inside the pages of my novel, Secrets in the Babby House.

Set in a gossipy small town in Ireland at a time when marriage is for keeps and sexuality is repressed, Secrets in the Babby House is a family saga over three decades that starts in 1956. It is a story of love, deception, and stolen diaries filled with sins and secrets.

Also available on Rakuten Kobo books.
