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.

Secret Sky Release Announcement

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

[bctt tweet="Reviewers call Secret Sky Riveting, Unique, and Addictive. $0.99 for a limited time."]

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 rebranded cover replaces Awakening

 

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. Just hit reply or contact me via the social media buttons.

Release day for The Gift: Betrayal

November 15, 2016 By JPMcLean 9 Comments

Betrayal Book CoverIt’s Release day for The Gift: Betrayal! The latest book in the Gift Legacy leaves home today. It’s interesting how each book crosses that threshold with a personality. The first one, Secret Sky (formerly Awakening), was shy and tentative; Hidden Enemy (formerly Revelation), the second one, sprinted through the gate like a colt on new legs; the third book, Burning Lies (formerly Redemption), pawed the ground then charged off; number four, Lethal Waters (formerly Penance), crept out in the middle of the night. Betrayal swaggers. It’s got attitude.

Chronologically speaking, Betrayal isn’t the “next” book in the Gift Legacy series. It’s more like book 1.5. It’s Awakening Redux—this time told in Jackson Delaney’s voice. This is his story. Jackson was Emelynn Taylor’s love interest in Awakening. He was controversial, his role was pivotal and his story demanded to be told. You may not forgive him, when you turn the last page, but you won’t forget him.

Warning: reading Betrayal will spoil Secret Sky (formerly Awakening) for you. I recommend you read Secret Sky first. Here’s what two of my favourite authors have to say about Betrayal:

JP McLean possesses her own unique gift: the ability to bewitch her readers with her boundless imagination.

– Elinor Florence, Bestselling Author of Bird’s Eye View

Exciting action and conflict of loyalties make this a fantastic page-turner.

– Kristina Stanley, Bestselling Author of the Stone Mountain Mystery Series.

Testimonial for The Gift: Betrayal

November 3, 2016 By JPMcLean 9 Comments

Betrayal Book CoverI’ve received the first testimonial for The Gift: Betrayal, and I’m excited to share it with you.

JP McLean has a style and immediacy of detail that pulls the reader into a complex tale set with all-too-human characters ruled by their extraordinary capabilities. Exciting action and conflict of loyalties make this a fantastic page-turner.

– Kristina Stanley, Bestselling Author of the Stone Mountain Mystery Series.

When an author has a new book coming out, they often ask another author they respect and admire for a testimonial. It’s a small stamp of approval that gives readers confidence that the book is worth their time. Watch this space for another testimonial for the Gift: Betrayal.

Kristina Stanley

Not only is Kristina Stanley a bestselling author, but she and her partners are currently developing software called Feedback (now called Fictionary) that will help authors write better books.

“We’re developing Feedback to help writers create the best possible novel. You’ll be able to use Feedback in several phases of your writing.”– Kristina Stanley

November 15 is the release date for The Gift: Betrayal. It’s available now for preorder in paperback and ebook at all the usual outlets.
