What's Beneath the Dust Jacket?

A special reveal, stunning artwork, and your last chance to snag ARCs and preorders!

Hey Songseekers!

I have something very special to share with you today... it’s time to reveal what’s hiding beneath the dust jacket of When the Wicked Sing! 👀

This hardcover design is close to my heart because... I made it myself! 🎨✨

I’ll be posting a video on Instagram tomorrow (Monday the 24th) giving you a peek into my Procreate process and a little behind-the-scenes of how it came to life—so make sure you’re following me @sldebois to check it out!

But that’s not all...

I’m also thrilled to reveal the interior artwork that will appear inside the book

Both these breathtaking pieces were drawn by the incredibly talented Anna Rydzevska (@annarydz_art on Instagram). Give her a follow because she is absolutely incredible! I can't wait for you to see both of them on the page!

The paperback and hardcover will be available for order May 28, 2025 (fingers crossed everything goes according to plan!)

A quick reminder that ARC sign-ups are still open, but not for long! The form will close on April 9th, and the next wave of ARCs will go out on April 14th. If you’d like to read When the Wicked Sing early and help spread the word, this is your moment!

And hey—preorders are still available for just $1.99 USD until March 31st! This special price won’t last long, so if you’ve been thinking about grabbing your copy, now’s the time.

Every preorder means the world to me, and helps When the Wicked Sing get into the hands of more readers. Thank you so much for being here, for supporting this debut, and for being part of this wild, magical ride.

Now tell me... who’s excited for spring? 🌸

With joy,

S.L. DeBois
