I am very excited to share the Carlsen catalog page for Secrets of Truth & Beauty. Or, translated back from the German: Truth, Beauty, and Goat Cheese.

I love the new cover. Isn’t that the cutest goat ever? She only looks mildly annoyed by the tiara. I believe the headline is “Summer on the Hippy-Farm” or maybe “Summer of the Hippy-Farm.”

If I’m reading the German Amazon site, you’ll be able to get the German version in February of 2012. I can’t wait to see it!

I was talking to a good friend of mine who had loaned Secrets of Truth & Beauty to her boyfriend. Now a man in his mid-thirties is not exactly what you would call my target audience. But he loved it! He would actually read parts of it aloud to her.

However, he took the dust jacket off when he was riding the NYC subway because he was embarrassed to be seen reading it.

Come on, now!

It’s a beautiful girl and a gorgeous guy. What’s so embarrassing about that?

It’s the pink, isn’t it?

Well, first of all, gentleman, you should be aware that it’s not pink, it’s magenta.

But even if it were pink, so what? Pink is a power color! Don’t fear it — embrace it!

Here it is:

I love the colors and how the photo just seems to capture a moment between these two, where they are together, but also a bit in their own worlds.

Here’s the whole jacket shebang, with my author photo that was taken by my oh so lovely husband:

Not sure when this will start showing up on Amazon, GoodReads, etc. — hopefully soon! Thank you to the great design team at Disney-Hyperion.
