Hello, my darklings,
A quick note about beta copies and ARCs for The Winter Curse:
Beta copies are early manuscripts reviewed by my small, personally selected beta team. ARCs are more polished copies sent closer to publication for honest reviews.
ARCs will be available to Thornwood Coven members on October 23. If you can read past the paywall below, you’re eligible to request one—but please only do so if you plan to leave a review.
Every subscriber, free or comped, will receive The Winter Curse on December 1, so there’s no need to buy it or request an ARC if you don’t plan on leaving a review. If you’re getting this newsletter, you’re getting a free copy of The Winter Curse.
Thornwood Coven membership is free and invitation-only, based on newsletter activity such as opening emails, clicking links, leaving hearts, and commenting.
The votes have been counted, the whispers have settled, and one cover has emerged from the shadows.
Members of the Thornwood Coven cast their votes—and today, you’re the first to see which version claimed the crown.
The public cover reveal won’t happen until September, so for now, this remains tucked safely inside the coven walls.
Ready?
I can understand why. This version lets Woodward Manor step forward as a character in its own right—beautiful, isolated, and quietly concealing the curse within its walls.
Thank you to everyone who voted! You didn’t merely choose the image you found prettiest. You helped me see which cover best conveyed the atmosphere and promise of the story.
And the timing couldn’t be better.
This past Monday, The Winter Curse was placed into the hands of my beta readers. Once their feedback comes in and the final edits are complete, the ARC machinery can begin turning. Public reveal of the cover will be September 8th, so you’re seeing this cover a full month early!!
We are getting frighteningly close, my lovelies.
Tell me in the comments: What was the detail that made this cover your choice? For those of you who voted for the other cover, what inspired you to pick the that version over this one?
Oh! And as promised, here’s the link to request an ARC copy of The Winter Curse.
I’m off to the writing cave to continue working on rewriting Book 2 in the Cursed Heirs of Woodward Hill!
Ever yours in the shadows,
Gina 🖤
