It’s time for the cover reveal for Maine Clambake Mystery#6, Stowed Away!
The book is already up for pre-order on Amazon here.
I’m very excited about this cover which incorporates many of my suggestions, including the lobster holding the engagement ring. Here’s the Pinterest board I linked to when my editor asked for cover ideas. It’s spring again in Busman’s Harbor as you can tell from the strawberries and asparagus.
Here’s the description from the back cover.
it’s June in Busman’s Harbor, Maine, and Julia Snowden and her family are working hard to get their authentic Maine clambake business ready for summer. Preparations must be put on hold, however, when a mysterious yacht drops anchor in the harbor—and delivers an unexpected dose of murder . . .
When Julia’s old prep school rival Wyatt Jayne invites her to dinner on board her billionaire fiancé’s decked-out yacht, Julia arrives to find a sumptuous table set for two—and the yachtsman dead in his chair. Suspicion quickly falls on Wyatt, and Julia’s quest to dredge up the truth leads her into the murky private world of a mega-rich recluse who may not have been all that he seemed . . .
Readers: What do you think? Do you like the cover? Would you pick up the book?
I can’t wait to read the next book….cover looks awesome!!!
Thank you, Kim.
YUM!
😉
I love it, Barb. Isn’t it great when the cover ends up matching your expectations? Of COURSE I’d pick up the book.
It is, although the two covers l liked the least have sold the most, so I may not be a genius at this sort of thing.
LOL.
The ring-holding lobster is brilliant!!!
I saw it on Pinterest and had to have it.
Love this cover, Barb! Can’t wait to read/review the book.
Thank you, Susan. You know I love your covers.
Love the cover. I love the series so I’d pick up the book no matter what.
Thank you, Elaine.
I love the cover, too, and glad to see that it is springtime in Busman’s Harbor. I’m looking forward to reading Stowed Away, Barb.
Thank you, Grace.
Ordered! Love the cover. I can’t wait to read this. My only complaint is there aren’t 20 more lined up behind it!! xx
I would love that, too, Jennifer.
Love it!
Thanks, Art.
I have already preordered this book. I love this series. The cover is great! I am wondering about the.engagement ring.

Thank you, Susan for the preorder.
Makes me hungry, both for the food and the book. Bring it on!
December 26, 2017. I should have said that in the post, right?
My stomach and my brain will really be growling by then!
Love the engaged lobster! Wonderful!
Thank you, Doris.
Oh, I love this cover. I wanted to jump into it! And the back copy sucked me right in. Can’t wait to read it. Congratulations!
It looks fun and delicious, right?
Lovely cover. It’s great to find a good cover designer. My current one is wonderful and just gets me and delivers a cover exactly as I see it in my head. Looks like you have someone good, as well. Congratulations.
I suspect it was done by Ben Perini who did my other covers, but I don’t have cover flats yet, so I haven’t spotted his name.
That cover made me hungry! Love it. Can’t wait for the book.
So glad you love it, Dee.
I’ll have one of everything, please! This cover would definitely grab my attention at a bookstore! Thanks for the reveal ~
So glad to hear that, Celia!
Barb, I love it – it looks like a perfect beach book! I can’t wait to find out if your characters really do the proposal with the lobster and the ring! Congratulations!
Thanks, Shari! I’m really happy with it.
Reblogged this on Hobby Reads.
Thanks, Kensingtonmarketing!
The cover looks great, but that part where it has Barbara Ross on the cover? That’s the part that puts the book on my must read list.

Oh, thank you so much, Mark!
Love it Barb! The food looks amazing…
Thank you, Liz

I’m so glad to hear this, Linda.
Its amazing yes it speaks to me.
I’m so glad!
I am reading my way through this series and really enjoying it. That cover is definitely calling to me. Can’t wait.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the series and like the new cover.
Love the cover. So is my first thought was Julia and Chris are getting engaged until I read the copy. Or are they?
Or are they? 🙂
It’s oh so tempting (but I have more than a thousand books on hand waiting to be read), but its OH , so tempting…
Go on. You know you want to. 🙂
Except I am also woefully behind on writing assignments and quilting (and I suspect the dust bunnies have been throwing wild parties everywhere).
Yes, I would totally pick it up in a store! Looks great!
Thanks!
Love the cover, it would definitely make me want to read the book.
I love that cover!!! I’m looking forward to this, thanks
