I’ve been waiting impatiently all year to see what Text Publishing would come up with for the cover for Dirt Circus League.
And when I first laid eyes on it, I was absolutely thrilled.
The incredibly talented Jess Horrocks has come up with an absolute winner with this design that’s sure to stand out on bookstore shelves.
As a debut author, it’s everything I could ever want in a book cover: eye-catching, engaging and mysterious.
Way back in 2019 when my editor first asked me if I had any ideas about what I might like the cover to look like, the only thing I could come up with was “maybe something green”.
I am in no way disappointed in the lack of green in this cover! For me, it was love at first sight.
I hope you love it, too.
Look for Dirt Circus League in your favourite local bookstore from 30 March 2021 or add it now to your Goodreads want to read list.
