Hi everyone,
A very exciting post today! I’m SO HAPPY to share the (absolutely gorgeous) cover for the holiday anthology MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME.
See? I told you it was gorgeous! The cover art is by Jim Tierney, and I think it’s just amazing. (Rumor has it there will be even more original art accompanying each story.)
I’m so honored to be included in this wonderful collection.
EDITED TO ADD:
My story is called STAR OF BETHLEHEM, and it is a 100% original story. Meaning it is about all new people in all new places. (No Zach, Cammie, Kat or Hale, in other words).
Nope. This is about a new couple. And, boy, do I heart them.
Fun fact: each of the skating couples on the cover represents one of the twelve stories.
So which couple do you think is in MY story? (leave your guesses in the comments.)
-Ally
ps: look for the anthology in your local bookstore in October of this year–just in time for the holidays!

June 3, 2014 at 2:28 pmThat cover is really cute! It reminds me a little of when Cammie is in London with Bex and sees Zach at the side of the rink (if it was the Tower of London in the background not mountains).
I don’t know which one, I need to know more about the story to make a guess. But I’m just going to say, is it the girl in the yellow cardigan with white and red polka dot dress and the guy in the light grey top and blue trousers?

June 3, 2014 at 5:24 pmThis picture reminded me of Zach and Cammie in London to!!!!
Livi says
June 6, 2014 at 12:31 pmI didn’t know it was called the star of Bethlehem! I s’pose it could still be the couple I said but I think it’s probably the more Mary and Josef looking couple.

June 3, 2014 at 3:07 pmI think it’s the pair with the guy in the cowboy hat.
Danielle says
June 3, 2014 at 3:11 pmI don’t all I wish now is that it is snowing. Gosh the picture makes me sooooo jealous. I think Zach and Cammie are the couple with the only blond girl. You know Cammie had dirty blond hair.
Jordan says
June 4, 2014 at 12:13 amit’s not about Zach and Cammie
Danielle says
June 4, 2014 at 11:54 amThen is it Kat and Hale? I thought Ally wrote it about Zach and Cammie.
Livi says
June 4, 2014 at 6:02 pmNo, it’s a completely new story. We’ll only find out who the characters are when we read it.
Danielle says
June 5, 2014 at 12:02 pmOops now I understand. Hmmmmmm I don’t know then maybe the guy with the red scarf couple

June 3, 2014 at 3:49 pmHi!
Awesome cover! Says a lot about the stories. 🙂
I think yours is the one with the guy in the red scarf and the girl with the dark brown hair and a greenish-yellow dress and, it looks like, legging.
Which one of your stories is in there?
Thank you!

Jordan says
June 3, 2014 at 3:59 pmI’m going to guess that it’s the couple with the guy in the cowboy hat! Please let us know soon who the correct couple is!
sarah says
June 3, 2014 at 5:09 pmThat is super cute! I think your characters are the ones with the guy wearing the cowboy hat with the girl in the tan coat!
kaitlin says
June 3, 2014 at 5:27 pmI absolutely LOVE the cover!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the couple you wrote about is the Chief and the girl dressed in a red dress with an apron. Im guessing that couple because I know you like to bake!!!
Aly Clarks says
June 3, 2014 at 6:20 pmIt has to be Bex’s story.
She is way to epic to not have a story.
Plus, anyone remember the ice skating scene in London (first chapter, Only the Good Spy Young)?
And I would love to see a guy who could handel Bex.
Liv says
June 3, 2014 at 7:01 pmJust a weird guesses the couple with the girl in the black dress black hair pale skin and the man in the business suit
It’s from where the athuors names are placed
KAt says
June 3, 2014 at 9:00 pmYES!!!!!!!! I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it’s the girl in the black dress and the guy in the black suit. Who is featured in the story? Is it all new characters or characters from the past?
Lilly says
June 4, 2014 at 2:30 amI think that it is the couple towards the back that are both wearing black.
Sabina G. says
June 4, 2014 at 8:44 amI think Zach and Cammie are the couple with the only blond girl!! Oooo I hope you let us know! That cover looks amazing!!!!!
Jellybeans says
June 4, 2014 at 7:10 pmWith the beams being star if Bethlehem maybe the Mary and josephish looking couple… EXCITED!!! Will it be an ebook?
Sky says
June 4, 2014 at 9:51 pmThis book sounds so cool! I’m so excited to read it!
I think yours is the one where the guy has a long red coat with yellow details and the girl has a tannish coat with her arms behind her back.
BrianaDixieDog says
June 4, 2014 at 10:51 pmI think your people are the man with the blue pants and brown jacket and the woman with the white and blue dress.
El says
June 5, 2014 at 12:05 amI’m guessing it’s the girl in the black dress and the guy in the suit. Somehow that just seems to fit with a story that I think you’d write, just based on your other young adult characters. Can’t wait to read this!
Kaitlyn says
June 5, 2014 at 2:11 amI’m just going to go out on a limb here and guess the couple wearing all black in the back. I can’t remember if this story is from the Gallagher Girls or Heist Society or a completely new one. But considering that I could see spies and thieves wearing black, I’m going with that just in case it is about one of those two series.
Kaitlyn says
June 5, 2014 at 2:15 amActually I changed my mind. I don’t know how I missed this when I was reading your post, but I didn’t see where you said it was called Star of Bethlehem. I also didn’t see where you said it would be completely new. Therefore, I’m going with the Mary and Joseph couple!!!!
Brooke says
June 5, 2014 at 6:26 pmIt is obviously the Mary and Joseph couple I mean Star of Bethlehem!?!! Duh!?!?!?!?!?
SeleniaGreen says
June 6, 2014 at 5:34 pmDefinitely the Mary and Joseph look alikes. {boy-tan /brown top, blue pants; girl-blue and white long dress}. Can’t wait to ready your story Ally! 🙂
Kat says
June 8, 2014 at 3:43 pmCan you read this book if you haven’t read any books by the other authors?
Shellie says
June 9, 2014 at 9:37 amYes! The book is comprised of 12 different independent short stories.
xoxo,
Shellie

June 8, 2014 at 8:21 pmIt must be the Bethlehem Joseph/Mary look-alikes! If not my context skills are seriously off!
