A couple of weeks ago, I was talking about how editors like to promote their authors, and I mentioned a book by Kathryn Fitzmaurice–The Year the Swallows Came Early.
Kathryn kindly sent me the cover pic. Pretty, huh? Maybe we’ll be able to talk her into doing a tour with us. Who knows? It’s her first book, I believe, but her editor was pushing the book at SCBWI LA and her editor is Brenda Bowen who happens to be a smart woman with good taste in literature. So I’m thinking The Year the Sallows Came Early is probably well-written.

Actually, the real cover is not grainy, I don’t think. I think the picture I got wasn’t all that high quality. I liked the grainy look, though. It would have worked. The real cover I just saw at the author’s web site which is now up but not completed, I think.
Check out the web site here.
