Introducing Allan Hudson

August 14, 2021 By JPMcLean 18 Comments

Allan Hudson

It’s my great pleasure to introduce Allan Hudson. Many of you will already know Allan through his work as a contributor to the Miramichi Reader. Others will be familiar with his author’s blog, the South Branch Scribbler. He is the author of the Drake Alexander adventure series Dark Side of a Promise and Wall of War, a collection of short stories A Box of Memories, the Jo Naylor series Shattered Figurine and Shattered Lives, and a historical novel The Alexanders.

Allan Hudson’s new novel Vigilantes is launching on August 21. He joins us today to talk about never giving up. Over to you, Allan!

Never give up.

You write a story, maybe it’s a short story, maybe it’s a thick novel. Or you write a poem, or a memoir or a how-to book. Whatever you write, there is always Continue Reading

Final Day

July 26, 2021 By JPMcLean 4 Comments

It’s been a wild week watching the unit sales numbers soar for Secret Sky. Thanks to everyone who purchased a copy at 99¢. I hope you enjoy Emelynn’s story. Today is the final day of the sale, so if you missed it, you still have a few hours to get in on the deal. At midnight, the price goes back up. Books two and three, Hidden Enemy and Burning Lies, are also on sale for $1.99 and $2.99. Check under the Bookstore tab for all retailers.

Recent reviews:

The Magic of Stories: Best read this year . . . prose at its finest.
Urban Book Reviews: Danger, suspense, and mystery all bundled into one perfect read.
Midwest Book Review: A deftly crafted, impressively original and inherently compelling read.

Everybody wishes they could fly—until it happens

For Emelynn Taylor, Continue Reading

I’m Having a Summer Celebration

Secret Sky on sale for 99c

It’s time for a summer celebration. The glorious summer weather is here, and with it (at least in my corner of the world) the easing of COVID restrictions.

To celebrate, I’m having a summer sale.

A 99¢ summer sale and a beach read to binge: the perfect vacation combo.

For a limited time, I’ve discounted Continue Reading

A Look Back

June 25, 2021 By JPMcLean 16 Comments

JP McLean signing books Finding this old photo of me signing my first novel reminded me how far my writing career has come.

This photo was taken at Abraxas Books on Denman Island in October 2012. I was signing copies of Secret Sky with its original cover and title. Abraxas has sold more Gift Legacy trade paperbacks than any other indie bookstore! (Thanks, Abraxas!)

Since then, there have been a few big milestones . . .

1. I’ve completed SEVEN books in the Gift Legacy, an urban fantasy series about Emelynn Taylor and a secret society of Fliers who live among us and have the gift of flight.

2. The books have received over 225 reviews like this recent one from Midwest Book Review:

“A deftly crafted, impressively original and inherently compelling read from first page to last, Secret Sky launches a new The Gift Legacy series by J. P. McLean. A fully entertaining, plot twisting novel that will leave its readers looking eagerly toward the next thrilling installment, Secret Sky is especially and unreservedly recommended for community library action/adventure, romance, and metaphysical fiction collections.”
