Book Cover Reveal For Historical Fiction Author Renee Rosen's "WHAT THE LADY WANTS"

April 7, 2014 14 Comments

rrasn2014There is undeniable joy to having in-real-life friends who are authors. Hugs and wine are just part of it.  I am always so happy to share in my friends’ triumphs (tribulation sharing builds the bond, but it’s not  joyful).Truly, what more could a writer want than to be part of someone else’s story?

That’s why today I’m thrilled to present the cover for my friend, Renee Rosen’s, cover for her next novel, WHAT THE LADY WANTS.

When this photo of us was taken, just a few weeks ago at our favorite meeting place in Chicago, there were still tweaks and decisions to be made, there was still no official date she could share the cover. Now it’s here!

Renee is also the author of DOLLFACE, and you can read the WFW interview here.

But right now, let’s focus on WHAT THE LADY WANTS.

renee cover 2

In late 19th century Chicago, visionary retail tycoon Marshall Field made his fortune wooing women customers with his famous motto:“Give the lady what she wants.”

His legendary charm also won the heart of socialite Delia Spencer, and led to an infamous love affair.
The night of the Great Fire, as seventeen-year-old Delia watched the flames rise and consume what had been the pioneer town of Chicago, she couldn’t imagine how much her life, her city, and her whole world was about to change. Nor would she have guessed that the agent of that change would not simply be the fire, but more so the man she met that night…

Leading the way in rebuilding after the fire, Marshall Field reopens his well-known dry goods store and transforms it into something the world has never seen before: a glamorous palace of a department store. He and his powerhouse coterie— including Potter Palmer and George Pullman—usher in the age of robber barons, the American royalty of their generation.

But behind the opulence, their private lives are riddled with scandal and heartbreak. Delia and Marshall first turn to each other out of loneliness, but as their love deepens, they will stand together despite disgrace and ostracism, through an age of devastation and opportunity, when an adolescent Chicago was transformed into the Gleaming White City of the Chicago’s World’s Fair of 1893.

WHAT THE LADY WANTS won’t be available everywhere until November 4, 2014. Not what you wanted to hear, I know.

    Help! Marshall Field’s name is misspelled on the cover!! Should have two “ells” at the end. Can it still be fixed?

      Hi Jean–yep! We had all been staring at the cover for over a week and not one of us caught it. It’s been fixed now. Thanks!

    Lovely. Be sure to let the cover designer know, though, that “Marshall” needs another “L” on the end. 🙂

      Thanks Erin–this was a case of being a little close to a project. None of us caught it until it was too late. It’s been fixed though now!

    What a gorgeous cover, and you can’t be a country girl (me) and have traveled to large cities and walked up and down their streets with a craning neck (again, me) without wondering about the people you’re writing about. It sounds wonderful.
