Cover Reveal

Happy to share the cover for EMBERS IN A DARK FROST, my latest fantasy. For those curious, this is not YA or urban fantasy, and it's not tied into any of my other series. It's a new self-publishing venture. :-)  It also falls into the New Adult niche with a heroine who is out of her teen years and trying to figure out her place in life and what she wants. She learns quite a bit about herself, her world, and relationships -- both physically and emotionally. It's alternate world, inspired by celtic mythology, and I think it will appeal to the adult readers (men and women) of my YA and my Urban Fantasies.

Okay, on to the good stuff: Tada! The cover:




Release Date: November 15, 2012
ISBN-13: 978-0-9885225-0-3
ISBN-10: 0988522500

The artwork was done by the amazingly talented Claudia McKinney at Phat Puppy Creations, and the typography by Kim Killion at Hot Damn Designs.

Description:

The Fire Breathers have come. The Underworld calls. A choice must be made…

With her feared half blood and flame-colored hair, DEIRA D'ANU is a constant reminder of human betrayal and the war that claimed the light from Innis Fail. Now, darkness and frost creep across the land, strengthening the Lord of the Underworld. War is imminent—an allegiance with the Fire Breathers is vital. When their champion, Balen, sees Deira, he believes she is the key to finding the light and stopping the dark frost.

But the Underworld calls to Deira, tempting her to turn her back on a world that never cared and betray the champion willing to sacrifice everything to keep her safe and save his world from darkness.

Latest Project!

I've just finished up revising and polishing a new project (thus my woefully pathetic internet presence), and it's off to the copy editor and proofer. I'm going to reveal the cover on Friday, so stay tuned, people!

What makes me crazy excited about the project, is that I'm doing it myself. That's right. You heard me. Myself. It'll be my first self pub title. *dances* And it's a story I absolutely LOVE. So, you ready for the title?

EMBERS IN A DARK FROST

 
The Fire Breathers have come. The Underworld calls. A choice must be made…

With her feared half blood and flame-colored hair, DEIRA D'ANU is a constant reminder of human betrayal and the war that claimed the light from Innis Fail. Now, darkness and frost creep across the land, strengthening the Lord of the Underworld. War is imminent—an allegiance with the Fire Breathers is vital. When their champion, Balen, sees Deira, he believes she is the key to finding the light and stopping the dark frost....

But the Underworld calls to Deira, tempting her to turn her back on a world that never cared and betray the champion willing to sacrifice everything to keep her safe and save his world from darkness.
 
The book is Adult Fantasy. Heroine driven. Inspired by Irish mythology. It's a quest/self discovery type of story that also includes a romantic/sensual storyline. It is not YA or a Happily Ever After romance.  

I will be releasing the book in all ebook formats in mid November. A print version will follow in early Jan. 2013.
