There are so many fabulous books coming out this year, and I'm thrilled to be teaming up with Pam (from Bookalicious Pam) to reveal the cover for one of them, Magical Mayhem edited by Douglas Rees & Laurie McLean. Check out this cover!!
What do you guys think? I'm loving the look and feel of this cover. If I had to judge a book by it's cover, this is a book I'd definitely pick up. Be sure to keep reading to find out more about the book and to enter to win an e-ARC of it.
About the Book:
Magical Mayhem is the first of many anthologies to come from new tween/teen publisher Ambush Books. Compiled from a wide assortment of emerging YA talent plus award-winning veteran authors, this anthology truly has something for everyone featuring short tales that will twist your brain and wrap around your soul. From the creepy jumble of Eldritch Black’s ‘Three Curses for Trixie Moon” to the gorgeous magical realism of Anna-Marie McLemore’s “Lovesick”, Magical Mayhem is the perfect bedtime companion for a cold autumn’s night.
Magical Mayhem will be available in print and eBook formats on October 1, 2012. Ten percent of all proceeds will be donated to the Electronic Freedom Foundation.
Authors in this anthology include: Douglas Rees (Vampire High), Kait Nolan (Red), Linda Wisdom (50 Ways to Hex Your Lover), Marni Bates (Awkward), Mark Williams (Danger Boy), A.R. Kahler, Eldritch Black, Carol Wolf (Summoning),Pam van Hylckama Vlieg, Cecily White (Angel Academy), Rhonda Helms (Stupid Cupid), Laurie McLean (Knight Moves), H. Scott Beazley, Anna-Marie McLemore, Catherine Haines and more.
About the publisher: Ambush Books is the brainchild of award-winning children’s book author Douglas Rees and his literary agent Laurie McLean. Often their luncheon conversations would involve tales of fabulous classic children’s books that were no longer available for purchase. What a shame! So Ambush Books represents their quest to bring these abandoned treasures out of the dark caves where they’ve been hidden away by publishers in order to share them with the tweens and teens of today. Ambush will also publish books in series that never saw the light of day as well as anthologies introducing new voices to today’s middle grade and YA audiences.
The Giveaway: Thank you to Pam from Bookalicious Pam and Ambush Books, I have 1 e-ARC to giveaway to one lucky blog reader! To enter, please leave me a comment along with your email address, sharing your thoughts about the cover.

Thanks for the giveaway! I actually really enjoy the cover. It's definitely eye-catching and the swirls add this awesome magical background effect that pulls you in and totally goes with the title. It's like an organized chaos of swirls--magical mayhem.

Hi this is one great cover. I love the golden dress and the white crystal looking designs. Very powerful. The cover stands out and i want to read right away. Thanks for the giveaway joannie jscddmj[at]aol[dot]com
ReplyDeleteThis cover is stunning, the intrigue it leads to, it's mystical qualities. I love the girl on the cover, she looks not only dainty, but strong with a deep down courage to face the chaos, or mayhem as it were. The colours and swirls are feminine, bold and striking yet encapsulates the title of the book and what it contains.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway

Gorgeous, mystical cover! I love it. I would definitely pick up this book because of that great design--and since my author friend, Cecily White, is in it I'd buy it, too. In fact, I'll buy one for me, one for my daughter and one for my niece!
ReplyDeleteI love anthologies and have a paranormal YA story that would be perfect for a future anthology. Just for future reference. :)
Also love the fact that a fellow children's author started Ambush to bring past children's stories back to life. Congrats and thank you.

The cover looks amazing. I love how it has so much contrast. The darkness surrounds her, but in the center is a bright light, which seems like it's growing.
