Two posts in one day is unusual, I know, but it’s crunch time and I could sure use your help, so I hope you don’t mind.

Ebook cover for Secret Sky Kobo selected Secret Sky as one of the top ten book covers for 2018 in their Sci-Fi/Fantasy category. You can imagine how excited I was to hear the news. This is a huge deal and has the potential to raise the visibility of the book, which is always a challenge.

The winner is chosen by popular vote, and voting is now underway. Secret Sky‘s cover was in the lead for a while, but has slipped behind. I could use your help to push it back out in front.

Voting is quick and easy. Click here to go to Kobo’s website, scroll to the bottom and click on the cover for Secret Sky. The current tally will be revealed after you’ve voted. Voting closes at 11:59 EST on Thursday (That’s 9pm on the West Coast), so we don’t have a lot of time. Let’s do this!

I’d be grateful if you’d help spread the word. Share this post with friends, family, distant relatives, winged and furry friends. If they’ve got a phone, an iPad, a laptop or computer, they can cast a vote! Thanks so much. (And thanks to everyone who’s already voted.)

Honourable Mention for Awakening!

October 22, 2016 By JPMcLean 10 Comments

Psst? Have you seen the shiny bronze medallion that now graces Awakening’s cover? Last weekend I travelled to the Whistler Writers Festival where the Whistler Independent Book Awards were announced. I’m thrilled to tell you that the judges awarded an Honourable Mention for Awakening. I haven’t stopped grinning since I heard the news.

Here are a few photos from the Festival taken during my wanderings around Whistler Village.

Though it was a soggy weekend, the setting was so beautiful a few drips didn’t ruin a thing. Sadly, my husband suffered a torn Achilles and he’s now in a boot cast, so he was unable to accompany me to the festival. Happily, I was kept company by the terrific writers, readers, and volunteers who make this annual festival a real treat to attend.

(Have I mentioned that I was also kept cozy by the glowing warmth spilling out from the Honourable Mention for Awakening?)

In Lover Betrayed news (formerly The Gift: Betrayal), the manuscript is going through its final edit, the cover is almost done (OMG it’s dark and it’s beautiful) and the book is on track for a November 15 release. I can’t wait to share all of that and more, with you. Stay tuned.
