Can I ask, how is #Orentober a week and a bit from ending?!
This year was bit touch and go, between new jobs, new commitments and the pandemic, we weren’t sure if we could have fully committed to Orentober as we have the previous years but here it is, another post AND a cover reveal at that….
*OOOOOOOH*
Today, I’m here with a very exciting cover reveal. The book in question comes from one of my favourite New Zealand folks, who always has the best tea trays around…. Yes, you’ve got it, it’s a cover reveal for Vanda Symon’s upcoming 2022 release.
Before we get to that, let me tell you about this wonderful human!
Vanda Symon is a crime writer, TV presenter and radio host from
Dunedin, New Zealand, and the chair of the Otago Southland
branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors. The Sam Shephard
series, which includes Overkill, The Ringmaster, Containment and
Bound, hit number one on the New Zealand bestseller list, and has also been shortlisted for the Ngaio Marsh Award. Overkill was short-
listed for the CWA John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger. All four books have been eBook bestsellers. Vanda currently lives in Dunedin, with her husband and two sons.
*That* smile is infectious isn’t it?!
Anyways, Vanda’s upcoming release, Faceless, is due to be published by Orenda Books in paperback on March 17th 2022, Coinciding with International Women’s Month and Homeless Women’s Day. This nail-biting, thought-provoking, shocking new standalone thriller from New Zealand’s Queen of Crime will be contributing a percentage of its profits to the homeless charity Shelter.

*DRUMROLL*
Worn down by a job he hates, and a stressful family life, middle-aged, middle-class Bradley picks up a teenage escort and commits an unspeakable crime. Now she’s tied up in his warehouse, and he doesn’t know what to do.
Max is homeless, eating from rubbish bins, sleeping rough and barely existing – known for cadging a cigarette from anyone passing, and occasionally even the footpath. Nobody really sees Max, but he has one friend, and she’s gone missing.
In order to find her, Max is going to have to call on some people from his past, and reopen wounds that have remained unhealed for a very long time, and the clock is ticking…
Sounds like YOU type of read, right?
