Wrapping up The Gift Legacy launch.
Today marks the end of The Gift Legacy’s launch campaign. Thank you for riding this exciting release wave with me. Sharing new covers is a thrill, more so because of your support and encouraging comments.
Books 1 through 6 tell the story of Emelynn Taylor, the unwitting recipient of a remarkable gift that strips her of gravity and sends her airborne, unchecked. Today, the first book in The Gift Legacy Companion series is being released. Lover Betrayed tells the story of Secret Sky from Jackson Delaney’s perspective. Jackson’s role in Secret Sky was controversial, pivotal and demanded to be told. Love him or hate him, you won’t forget him. Lover Betrayed is Secret Sky Redux.
Rashomon treatment
Examining an event from different characters’ viewpoints is referred to as a Rashomon treatment, named after the 1950 film of the same name directed by Akira Kurosawa. Kurosawa was the first to present this unique way of exploring the nature of truth by telling the same story as witnessed and interpreted by different people.
When Jackson Delaney’s wife disappears, Jackson flies into high gear to find her. But has she been abducted, or has she left him for his half-brother? With fear and retribution fueling his quest, he recklessly engages the feared Tribunal and unscrupulous thugs from his past. And when his quest for justice at any cost leads him to a mysterious young Flier with no knowledge of her arcane gift, Jackson’s vengeance gets the better of him and may cost him something more precious than his life.

First draft done! It’s celebration time. I finished writing the first draft of the next book in The Gift Legacy this week and toasted the accomplishment with a fine bottle of red. If you’re keeping track, this is the sixth book in the series and follows on from Lethal Waters (formerly Penance). The working title is Deadly Deception. What do you think?
In other words, put my pen down and step away from the computer. Not writing is an adjustment. My daily routine has a huge hole in the middle of it. Suddenly, I have time on my hands.
But before I get to all that, I’m taking a wee break. We’re off to Seattle for a few days to celebrate two family birthdays, attend my first ever football game (Seattle Sea Hawks vs Indianapolis Colts) and enjoy the company of our niece and nephew who are visiting from the Cayman Islands.
