How We Rise Cover Reveal!


Now is the time for dystopian fiction. When the would starts to go dark and strange around us, we often, as readers, fly to books for a safe place to find relief from the stress of reality. And yet, sometimes what we need the most is a story that shows us just a bit of our own situation. We need to see something that sheds light on our shadowy existence and proves that we can face it—and much more. We need hopeful dystopian stories. Stories of flawed, troubled people stumbling through the chaos and learning to stand up to it all.

That’s why I’m so excited to be hosting the cover revel for Brooke Riley’s How We Rise. The novel will be coming out on July 15th—sooner than you think. I know time is a little odd right now, but here getting there.

Anyway, enough with the talk. You’re here to see the cover. Here it is.

Epic, right? I love it. It’s got so much atmosphere. And, in case you don’t know what How We Rise is about, here is the blurb.

When the truth gets you killed… will you still Rise?


Raegan MacArthur is content with her simple life. But lately, her life hasn’t been all that simple. She can’t drown out the screams in the night coming from the military base up the road. And she can’t ignore the truth behind them.


Peter Daniels thought moving back to Texas with his mom for senior year was a good thing. A chance to reconnect with old friends and finally feel at home again. But his life now can never be the same as it was six years ago. 


Signs of government overreach are everywhere, and an unknown- yet familiar- enemy lurks in the shadows, watching their every move. The government is clamping down tighter and tighter on anyone who resists their ways. Raegan and Peter have to make the hardest decision of their lives: will they go quietly to save themselves… or will they rise?

I can’t wait for this book to rocket out into the wide world. Brooke Riley is one of those authors that isn’t just a good writer, but also an awesome person. She has a real passion for using her fiction to reach people and lift them up. We need more authors like her. I highly recommend you get behind her. Be ready to nab this book when it comes out. I’m sure you won’t regret it.
