Cover Reveal: Out of Order by Casey Lawrence
A first look at my novel’s new cover art with JMS Books
In 2015, I released my first novel, Out of Order, with Dreamspinner Press. After some shady business went down in 2019/2020, I pulled my books from that publisher. For a while, I was worried they’d be out of print forever, and that my writing career would be very short-lived.
But never fear, JM Snyder is here! I am pleased to announce that I will be re-releasing my first two novels and adding a third to the Survivor’s Club with small queer press JMS Books. Out of Order, the first book in my series, has gotten a total makeover with JMS’s artists and editors.
It’s all shiny and new!
About the Book
Before I reveal the new cover, here’s a little bit about the book, which is an LGBTQ+ Young Adult mystery novel:
Corinna “Corey” Nguyen’s life seems perfectly average for a closeted bisexual whiz kid with her eyes on college and a budding romance with her friend Kate. Sixteen years old and navigating senior year with her tight-knit group of best friends through crushes, breakups, and pregnancy scares, Corey mistakenly believes that running for Valedictorian, choosing the right college, and coming out of the closet are the biggest things she has to worry about. That is, until prom night, when she’s left alone and in shock, hiding inside a diner bathroom, the only witness to a multiple homicide. With graduation looming and all eyes on her, the pressure is on for Corey to identify the killer and ensure that the crime that has changed her life forever will not go unpunished.
When it was first published, Out of Order was nominated at the 2016 Bisexual Book Awards in two categories, Mystery and Teen/YA Fiction, where it was runner-up.
Drum roll, please!
I won’t keep you in the dark any longer. I am so very excited to share the new look of my first novel, which is being re-released on April 22, 2023.
Finally… here’s the cover you’ve been waiting for!
Stunning!
The artist took my jumbled mess of suggestions and turned it into a fantastic cover, and I couldn’t be more pleased.
