Hidden Enemy is Live

November 28, 2018 By JPMcLean 2 Comments

The winter rains have set in here in the Pacific Northwest, and I can’t think of a better way to while away the dark evenings than by reading a good book. Speaking of which . . .

Hidden Enemy has been released!

Emelynn Taylor’s discovery of a forbidden book threatens to expose dangerous secrets. Two powerful factions clash: one ancient, one evil. And both of them want a piece of her. Not even her gift of flight will save her. Emelynn must form an uneasy partnership with a dangerous man and risk her gift and her future to protect her friends’ lives.

Read the book reviewers call Passionate, Exhilarating, and A superbly crafted fantasy thriller.

Secret Sky Cover Reveal

October 30, 2018 By JPMcLean 16 Comments

The first book in The Gift Legacy series is making its debut. This is the Secret Sky Cover Reveal. Next to typing “the end,” revealing a cover is one of the highlights of launching a book, even when it’s a relaunch. Thanks to the designers at JD&J, Secret Sky has come to life.

Everybody wishes they could fly—until it happens. In the heart of the city, a secret society uncovers an interloper: a woman who’s fallen from the sky. But is Emelynn Taylor a friend or a threat to their hidden world? Unbeknownst to Emelynn, whether she lives or dies is now in the hands of the powerful Tribunal Novem. And not everyone is buying her innocent act.

Secret Sky replaces Awakening. If you want the original cover, get it now. I’ll be removing this edition from sales channels in the coming days.

Boo!

Yes, that’s me. I’m going baroque for Halloween. How about you? (Dress meticulously designed and made by Kerri Davis, photo credit Michael Rapati.)
