Cover Wars: The Secrets We Keep by Colette Caddle
Posted on Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 by Leah
I’m a huge fan of Colette Caddle, I loved Red Letter Day, and I am so pleased her covers have had a re-design and that they finally look modern. Colette’s latest, The Secrets We Keep, which is due out on 4th March 2010 has two cracking covers. My copy of The Secrets We Keep is the one on the right and the paperback cover is the one on the left. I adore both. I’d merge the cover photograph on the right with the font colour on the left! How about you? Here’s the synopsis for those interested:
Four years ago Erin Joyce left Dublin under a cloud and bought a guesthouse in the remote, beautiful village of Dunbarra. The Gatehouse attracts a strange clutch of guests who, once ensconced, never want to leave. There’s Hazel, a shy artist, and her sweet, silent daughter Gracie. Sandra, a brash American, wants to know everything about everyone. Then there’s wise old easy-going PJ, who’s seemingly part of the furniture.
But Erin’s fragile happiness is thrown off-balance by the arrival of A-list Hollywood actor Sebastian Grey. Erin finds herself drawn to this handsome enigmatic man, who used to walk with a swagger but now prowls the country lanes with haunted eyes. What trauma could have brought about this devastating change? Sebastian isn’t the only one in the Gatehouse with a secret. Why is Hazel cast so adrift? Where does PJ go each week without fail, and what really brought Sandra to Dunbarra? As Erin finds herself embroiled in her guests’ secrets she starts to ask herself: will she be ready to reveal her own?



We posted a while ago about Jo Carnegie’s 3rd Churchminster novel being called Role Play but that appears to have changed since then. The book is now to be called Wild Things and is still due out 29th April 2010. We also have the fantastic cover - who knew purple and green went so well together? Here’s the synopsis:
At her best friend’s wedding, Angela Clark finds her boyfriend cheating on her in his car. After storming back into the wedding to confront her best friend, Angela flees to New York and ends up staying in the first hotel she comes to.
I really loved Victoria Connelly’s debut English novel
Mike Gayle is one of my favourite authors and I’m so pleased when I see he has a new book out. His next release, The Importance of Being A Bachelor, is due for release on 13th May 2010 and the cover has finally been released. Mike’s books have only recently been re-designed but it seems they’ve gone through yet another re-design. I have to admit,
Rosie Martin thought everything was fine with her marriage to Jonathan, until she discovers a text on his phone that makes it clear he’s having an affair. Rosie is shocked to find out Jonathan loves her, and he soon leaves their marital home to set up with Linda. They decide that they have to divorce, but want to remain friendly for the sake of the children.
I absolutely adored Nicky Schmidt’s debut novel Naked In Knightsbridge and you can
