Here’s a first look at Dee’s October, 2013 release, Unspoken. I like the cover and the colours are terrific – love the lit buildings and the models aren’t too hard on the eyes either!
Your thoughts?
Charlotte Graham is at the center of the most famous kidnapping in Chicago history.
The task force of FBI and local cops found her two abductors, killed them, rescued her, but it took four very long years. The fact she was found less than three miles from her home, had been there the entire time, haunts them. She’s changed her identity, found a profession she loves, and rebuilt her life.
She’s never said a word—to the cops, to her doctors, to family—about those four years.
A family legacy has brought her back to Chicago where a reporter is writing a book about the kidnapping. The cops who worked the case are cooperating with him. Her options are limited: Hope the reporter doesn’t find the full truth, or break her silence about what happened. And her silence is what has protected her family for years.
Bryce Bishop doesn’t know her past, he only knows she has coins to sell from her grandfather’s estate—and that the FBI director for the Chicago office made the introduction. The more he gets to know Charlotte, the more interested he becomes, an interest encouraged by those closest to her.. But nothing else is working in his favor—she’s decided she is single for life, she struggles with her faith, and she’s willing to forego a huge inheritance to keep her privacy. She’s not giving him much of an opening to work with.
Charlotte wants to trust him. She needs to tell him what happened. Because a crime cops thought was solved, has only opened another chapter. . .

Yep, it’s good! Love the colors. And a big city skyline gets me every time. 🙂

Sally Bradley » I’m with you on city skylines, Sally 🙂

Since you like city skylines too, what’s your thought on fiction set in big cities? It seems Christian publishers are leery of that. Or I hear that small-town settings sell better. But as someone who’s lived in a major metropolis my whole life, I tire of the small-town stuff. Give me big city fiction, and I’m there.

Sally Bradley » That’s an interesting comment, Sally, but you are right! There aren’t many books based in cities, are there? For me if the writing is high quality, setting is of little importance as long as the author can bring the city or small town to life. I would like to seem more set in big cities, though.

No problem! Glad I could help!

I do like this cover. It fits with the last one but still takes the concept in a bit of a different direction.

Me too! I told myself that book was Dee getting back into the swing of things. 🙂

*Squeal* How did I miss this one!? I’ve been *dying* to see this reveal – thanks for sharing, Rel.
I like it. Don’t love the “floating heads” (this is often done) nor the bit of purple flourish at the bottom. The models are good-looking though plus it’s a couple cover, so… all’s well. 😉
