An incredible writer. An incredible person. An incredible book. This deserves some incredible support, dontchya think?!

Today, I'm really excited. Why? Because an incredible friend of mine (and partner in crime at Vine Leaves Literary Journal), Dawn Ius, is revealing the cover of her debut YA novel, Anne & Henry!

This has been in the making for a long time and I'm so thrilled for Dawn that the day has finally arrived so she can flaunt her astounding storytelling talent. She is an AMAZING writer, and I can't wait for everyone to experience what I have been experiencing for the last (almost) five years when beta-reading her work ... extremely severe writing envy!!! Oh, and of course, a bloody excellent ride in a world outside our reality. :-)

Without further ado ... here it is! (And please scroll down to the bottom to enter to be in the running to win an ARC which will be available in January, 2015.)

ANNE & HENRY

A love worth losing your head over

ANNE

Wild, brazen, mischievous, bewitching

HENRY

Driven, haunted, charming, magnetic

ANNE & HENRY

Apart they are bound to destroy themselves. Together, they are bound to destroy each other.

HENRY TUDOR’S LIFE HAS BEEN mapped out since the day he was born: student president, valedictorian, Harvard Law School, and a stunning political career just like his father’s.

But ever since the death of Henry’s brother—perfect, high-achieving Arthur—his family has been twice as demanding. And now Henry’s trapped: forbidden from pursuing a life as an artist or dating any girl who’s not Tudor-approved.

Then Anne Boleyn crashes into his life.

Anne is wild, brash, and outspoken. She is everything Henry is not allowed to be—or to want. But soon Anne is all he can think about. His mother, his friends, and even his girlfriend warn him away, yet his desire for Anne consumes him. Henry is willing to do anything to be with her. But once he has her, their romance could destroy them both.

Inspired by the true story of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII, ANNE & HENRY reimagines the intensity, love, and betrayal between one of the most infamous couples of all time.
