Secret Sky Has Launched

November 16, 2018 By JPMcLean 8 Comments

The book that started it all, Secret Sky, has launched. When Emelynn Taylor accepted a stranger’s mysterious gift, she couldn’t know it would hijack her life. Now, it strikes without warning, strips her of gravity and sends her airborne, unchecked. Anywhere. Anytime.

Read the book reviewers call Riveting, Unique, and Addictive.

Everybody wishes they could fly—until it happens.

When Emelynn Taylor wakes up in the emergency room, her injuries present Dr. Avery Coulter with more questions than answers. Who is this guarded young woman? Why was she found in the middle of Sunset Park? How can she have injuries consistent with falling from above the tree line? Seemingly from nowhere? And, more importantly: Why is she lying about it?

The truth is stranger than anyone could have imagined – least of all Emelynn herself.

Nine years earlier, during the same summer she’d lost her father, 12-year-old Emelynn accepted a ‘gift’ from a mysterious woman called Jolene. Now, as she recovers in Dr. Coulter’s emergency room, she’s left wondering if that blessing was really more of a curse. Jolene’s gift planted the seeds of incredible power within Emelynn – but what’s the point of such abilities if you can’t control them? Her emerging gift of flight, for example, nearly killed Emelynn when it sent her plummeting to the sidewalk in Sunset Park. Next time, she might not be so lucky.

But Emelynn is determined to master her abilities, and returns to the seaside cottage where Jolene had once granted her this ‘gift.’ There, Dr. Coulter guides Emelynn in uncovering a secret society of others just like her, who inhabit a mysterious world-within-a-world that challenges everything Emelynn thought she’d known. But the more she uncovers, the murkier the truth becomes. Soon, Emelynn is left questioning the motives of those she’d trusted the most – and is forced to rely on her barely mastered powers in a desperate fight for survival.

Secret Sky is the first book in the thrilling, otherworldly The Gift Legacy series by JP McLean. Seamlessly blending paranormal mystery, fantasy, and romance, this beautifully written and deeply resonant adventure will swoop you into a vivid, new reality and leave your imagination soaring.

Secret Sky will be available for a limited time for $0.99. If you’re missing the first book in the series, now’s the time to grab it.

Secret Sky was formerly titled The Gift: Awakening. If you own the original, congratulations! You now have a collector’s edition. The second stand-alone book in The Gift Legacy series, Hidden Enemy (formerly The Gift: Revelation) will be dropping on November 27. As always, I’d love to hear your feedback.

Opening Night . . . We’re Live!

January 7, 2018 By JPMcLean 22 Comments

Can you see my sweaty palms, jangling nerves, and impatient pacing while I wait for the curtain to rise? It’s opening night here at the website, and we’re live.

Welcome!

The new website is live, and if the switchover went well, all you’ll notice is the new look. My thanks and gratitude go to Crystal Stranaghan and her team at Crystalclearsolutions. She’s the magician behind all the backstage manoeuvring to get the old site moved and the new one running smoothly.

I figured it was about time I learned how to manage the site myself. Up until now, a wonderful woman here on Denman Island has looked after it for me. But my website and my blog were not connected, which isn’t good for site rankings. I also didn’t have the ability to post videos, I had no access to nifty plug-ins, and I wanted to get rid of the ads that came with the free blog. I’ll have much more flexibility going forward.

Except for the first few days I spent banging my head against the wall, once I learned the ins and outs of designing a website, I really enjoyed the process and had fun checking out all the new bells and whistles that are available to me now.

But Nothing’s Perfect

But nothing’s perfect and I’m still plenty green at this, so please check out all the new pages, and if you notice something that isn’t working or something I can do better, please let me know. Use the contact form or reach me through social media. As always, you are welcome to share my posts and I encourage you to leave comments.

One thing that hasn’t changed is that you can still get instant access to Secret Sky from your favourite retailer right here! Or click on the image for more purchase options.

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.
