Sizzling Hot Blurbs!

September 24, 2021 By JPMcLean 8 Comments

Blood Mark cover collageI’m humbled and honoured to share with you the sizzling hot blurbs Blood Mark has received from authors whose work I admire so much.

“Featuring a fearless, badass heroine and plot twists that will leave readers breathless, J.P. McLean’s Blood Mark is a gritty, sexy, fast-paced thrill ride from start to finish.”

—E.E. Holmes, award-winning and best-selling author of The Gateway Trilogy, The Gateway Trackers, and The Riftmagic Saga, with over 4,400 reviews for Spirit Legacy. You can find her here on Amazon.

“A deliciously addictive fever dream of a mystery with a surreal beauty akin to a David Lynch film. I loved it!”

—Jennifer Anne Gordon, author of Beautiful, Frightening, and Silent, winner of the Kindle Award for Best Horror/Suspense 2020. You can find her here on Goodreads.

“An explosive new series that combines mystery and magic into a can’t-put-down thriller.”

—Eileen Cook, award-winning author of You Owe Me a Murder and With Malice. Eileen is also a speaker, editor, and mentor. You can find her here on Amazon.

“This edgy, intelligent, psychological thriller has tantalizing touches of Inca myth and will capture your soul from beginning to end.”

—W. L. Hawkin, award-winning author of The Hollystone Mysteries. You can find her here on Amazon.

I feel very lucky to belong to this supportive community of talented writers. Please check out their books. If you enjoy my style of writing, I’m sure you’ll enjoy theirs, and you can never have enough books!

Advance Reader Team Reviews

With less than a month to go until the release of Blood Mark, the advance reader team has been busy! Their reviews are popping up on Goodreads and BookBub. I am so grateful for each one. Reviews are the lifeblood of indie writers; each one is gold—another piece of social proof that Blood Mark is worth a reader’s time. Thank you so much.

What I’m Reading

I recently read and reviewed W.L. Hawkin’s award-winning novel To Charm a Killer. The title of my review sums it how much I loved it: A deliciously sensuous dive into Wicca. This is the first in a series, so there’s lots more to enjoy from W.L. Hawkin. Highly recommended.

Publicity

Mickey Mikkelson continues to keep me busy with interviews, features, podcasts, VLOGs, and reviews. You can find links to all of my media appearances on the Featured On drop-down menu item under my Media tab, or just click here.

Wings of Prey Cover Reveal

January 16, 2019 By JPMcLean Leave a Comment

Wings of Prey Cover Reveal

In the fall of 2017 I took a research trip to California to find the perfect location for a pivotal scene in Wings of Prey. A scene for a high-powered meeting of nine influential families, each highly vigilant of their privacy and security. I found the perfect location in a wine cave. That perfect location now graces the cover of the 6th and final book in The Gift Legacy. This is Wings of Prey, designed by JD&J Book Cover Design. It’s available for pre-order now and will be released on January 22, 2019.

Cover for Wings of Prey

A dead man’s warning. A lost plane wreck. A buried truth.

A voice from the grave makes Emelynn Taylor wonder if someone she loves committed an unforgivable act of treachery. Emelynn opens a painful cold case that tests her integrity, and its resolution could destroy two families. When the terrible truth is unearthed, Emelynn is set on a collision course with two titans and a battle she can’t possibly win.

And closer to home, a deeper deception threatens—one that Emelynn has spent her whole life perfecting.
