The new covers for Him and Us are here! And they are everything

[image error]

I have been sitting on this for way too long, but they are finally live! Elle and I decided to put new covers on Him and Us! (And probably Epic, but it’s not ready yet.) This glorious design by Elle Maxwell has (finally) gone live at Amazon, but it’s still a little hard to find.

FAQ about the new covers: 

Q: What about the old covers? I want them. 

A: Amazon doesn’t play nice with multiple versions. (Unless you are a big five publisher.) So we had to remove the old paperbacks from vendor sites. But there are still two options: 

The hardcovers still have the classic covers.

We are going to restock the “classic” paperbacks in my website store. When they are back in stock, we will let you know!

Q: Why do this? 

A: New covers are one way to reach new readers. That’s why we considered a change. And then when Elle Maxwell produced these hunky images of our favorite guys, we just had to have them. Besides—the original Him cover is a stock photograph and now it is on approximately 7,442 other books. But these new drawings of Wesmie are ours forever! 

Q: Can I get the new books signed? I am in the US. 

A: Yes you can. Now, recall that Elle and I do not live in the same country. So I have shipped her a box of the cutest HIM & US book plates ever printed. She has to sign them, which is not a quick process. Then they will come back to me. I will sign them. And then they will go to my local independent bookstore, where Allie the Bookseller will handle the sale. If you would like a nudge from us when those signed copies are ready, please drop your name and email here: https://forms.gle/hamqKh3B4vTRUEuV8 

Q: Can I get the new books signed? I am outside the US.

A: We aren’t ready to handle that yet. But in 2022 we may be able to make some double-signed bookplates available. Stay tuned!

Hannah I loooove illustrated covers so much more than stock photo ones and these are gorgeous - they are always so much more personalised to the book and really help bring them to life! Is there a way I can updated my Kindle books so they have the new covers, if I've already bought them? x

There's usually a setting in your Kindle or Kindle app for "Book updates: see recent updates and enable automatic updates." Check that box.

If you don't have that option on your device, sign in to your Amazon account online, and go to "content & devices" under your account. Search for the book title, and there will be a clickable link that says "update available."
