Introducing … The Cover for My Second Novel!
Here is the cover for my second novel, The Bungalow, which will be out from Penguin (Plume) in the spring (March or April) of next year! Yes, that is approximately 10 months away! I’m very excited about this novel. It is a story that completely captured my heart. I still think about the characters often. And, if you read The Violets of March, you may like to know that one character from Violets makes a cameo appearance in The Bungalow, so keep an eye out for a little surprise. The Bungalow will also be published in Germany by my publisher there, Heyne Verlag.
A little about the story: The Bungalow tells the story of Anne Calloway, who at the very end of her life receives a letter postmarked from the Tahitian islands that prompts her to confront the haunting and bittersweet memories of her time serving as a nurse during the war in the South Pacific, a lost love, an unspeakable tragedy and the mysterious thatched-roof beach bungalow at the center of it all.
What do you think of the cover?

Just finished Violets of March, and I can’t get the characters out of mind yet…! I’ve also now fallen in love with Bainbridge Island. Looking forward to ALL your future novels, Sarah. Intoxicating reads.

Beautiful! I am reading Violets right now, and I love it! It’s so funny because I am dying to keep reading, but I’m trying to slow myself down and savor it–I don’t want it to end!

I love the cover, the blue green water and blue sky is gorgeous. I like the flower too, so nice to tie your two books together.
Huge Congratulations and I look forward to next year’s release!!

Hooray! I read Violets so fast–I didn’t want it to end. Can’t wait for this one next year!

It is gorgeous! Knowing a little about the book now from the description I love the bright colors and peaceful demeanor, since it will help make the point that, just because something appears perfect, serene and beautiful it could be hiding darker secrets underneath. I can’t wait to read it!
Ti
I love the cover. I love the title too. It sounds really good!
Girl Parker
That cover is a work of art!! I love it when characters show up in other books. Don’t know why – just makes their lives not seem confined, I guess. I’m knee deep in violets and enjoying every minute. YAY!
Teresa
Sarah, its fantastic. Looking forward to reading it.
Linda Lan
Well, I don’t like to judge a book by it’s cover ;o), but looking at this one, I’d definitely read it! Congrats on Novel #2—life certainly doesn’t slow down for you!
Best Wishes,
