Love Bytes is honored and delighted to host this exclusive cover reveal of TJ Klune his new upcoming Dreamspinner Press Release “Murmuration”.
Continue and read the Intro TJ did and see the fabulous cover , check out the blurb, pre order links and make sure to enter the Giveaway !
Are you ready! , Here we go ! 🙂
At the beginning, there is this:
A flock of starlings is called a murmuration. These flocks may include other species of starlings and sometimes species from other families. This sociality is particularly evident in their roosting behavior; in the non-breeding season some roosts can number in the thousands of birds.
On October 28th, 2016, I will give you a story of which I have two strong opinions about.
First, this is the most romantic thing I’ve ever written.
Second, this being the fifth and final book I am releasing this year, I’m truly of the mind that I’ve saved the best for last.
My hope is that once you’ve read this story, those opinions will become yours as well.
I have kept much of this book a secret. There are specific reasons for that, which you will soon see. I know this day and age we all want to know everything we can as soon as we can, and I usually am pretty lenient with giving out teasers of what’s to come. However, here, I am going to keep as much of this a mystery as possible. Trust me when I say you will want to go into this spoiler-free.
But know this: the basis of this book—it’s foundation—came from a simple question I asked myself: how far would a person choose to go for the one they loved?
(Yes, there will be Wookiee Cry Face.)
I can’t wait to show you what tricks I have up my sleeve.

Blurb:
In the small mountain town of Amorea, it’s stretching toward autumn of 1954. The memories of a world at war are fading in the face of a prosperous future. Doors are left unlocked at night, and neighbors are always there to give each other a helping hand.
The people here know certain things as fact:
Amorea is the best little town there is.
The only good Commie is a dead Commie.
The Women’s Club of Amorea runs the town with an immaculately gloved fist.
And bookstore owner Mike Frazier loves that boy down at the diner, Sean Mellgard. Why they haven’t gotten their acts together is anybody’s guess. It may be the world’s longest courtship, but no one can deny the way they look at each other.
Slow and steady wins the race, or so they say.
But something’s wrong with Mike. He hears voices in his house late at night. There are shadows crawling along the walls, and great clouds of birds overhead that only he can see.
Something’s happening in Amorea. And Mike will do whatever he can to keep the man he loves.
When TJ Klune was eight, he picked up a pen and paper and began to write his first story (which turned out to be his own sweeping epic version of the video game Super Metroid—he didn’t think the game ended very well and wanted to offer his own take on it. He never heard back from the video game company, much to his chagrin). Now, over two decades later, the cast of characters in his head have only gotten louder. But that’s okay, because he’s recently become a full-time writer, and can give them the time they deserve.
Since being published, TJ has won the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Romance, fought off three lions that threatened to attack him and his village, and was chosen by Amazon as having written one of the best GLBT books of 2011.
And one of those things isn’t true.
(It’s the lion thing. The lion thing isn’t true.)

What a beautiful, beautiful cover! I must recognise I am really intrigued by this book. Thank you for sharing the cover, and the giveaway!
Sounds fascinating, I often watch starling chattering on rooftops and trees and then all of a sudden they’re in flight weaving around all as one. Lovely cover the starlings becoming part of the whole picture.
Wow, what an amazing cover, I absolutely adore it. Can’t wait to read it.
What a gorgeous cover – love it! At the same time it makes me shudder …that gives off the look like a swarm of insects rather than birds. 😉
Cover love chorus! Also, that title word is stunning. Not sure about the blurb, though, and I I don’t usually like stories based in the 1950s-70s. Looking forward to more reader comments. Congrats to Klune on the release!
The cover is fantastic and eye catching. Thank you for sharing it! I am totally intrigued by that blurb.
The cover is breathtaking! I can’t for the release date.
The cover is fantastic. I can’t wait to read the book.
I’m intrigued based on the post, I love a good mystery! I do find the cover a little creepy – large flocks of birds always make me think of the movie “The Birds”. Crazy, I know.
Congrats on an amazing cover and best of luck on your new release
I really loved the cover! This is going to be a great read.
Ah so excited for this! TJ is one of my favourite authors!

I am so happy to see a new book from a favorite author, it looks amazing.
I learned a long time ago to look past genre titles when it comes to TJ…. I can’t wait to read this. Even if it means Wookie Cry Face. When don’t they? The cover is stunning and I bet the words will be magical!
The pre order links don’t work but I was desperate! I just went to Dreamspinner and pre ordered from there.
I don’t usually read recent historical ( say, the last 100 years) but I’m all over this one! It sounds amazing, with the paranormal element and everything. Wookie Cry Face doesn’t even seem so bad 😳😆
That cover is completely amazing and I cannot WAIT to read this book. I’ll make sure there’s a box of Kleenex on hand. Possibly two.

Beautiful cover! Can’t wait to read this one.
This cover is amazing! I can’t wait to pre-order this one in paperback.
Beautiful cover and I am so excited to know more!
Most romantic story yet? I can’t wait to read it!! The cover is amazing and love the blurb.
I am an emotional reader. If I get that emotional connection to the characters in a story they become a little bit a part of my heart. It is hard to explain that to people, but it is what it is….*S*
Wishing you the very best TJ Klune because your stories have a way of sticking with a reader for a very wonderfully long time.
Love the cover, love the premises. Now, I dont know if there is a book that could ever exceed Wolfsong, for me, but as any other story narrated by my favourite author, Mr. Klune, I am certainly -and frankly, quite desperately- looking forward to this new title! Lots of love and admiration from Italy.
Really fantastic cover design, and the book sounds intriguing—I’ll definitely give it a shot.
I’m so looking forward to having my Wookiee Cry Face ! And yes, I capitalized it!
CANNOT WAIT…as per 😉
I have all of TJ’s Audio books and can’t WAIT for more!
