Wrapping up The Gift Legacy Launch

February 6, 2019 By JPMcLean 9 Comments

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.

The Final Flight

Wings of Prey, the sixth and final book in The Gift Legacy is now live. Like the other books in the series, it stands on its own, but if you’re reading them in order, Wings of Prey follows where Deadly Deception leaves off.

In Wings of Prey, Emelynn receives a dire warning from her father’s grave—a warning that makes her question her loyalties. Uncertain who are friends and who are foes, Emelynn chooses to stand for the powerless against the powerful. That choice comes with a terrible price and sets in motion a clash of titans that will determine if Emelynn lives or dies.

The Final Flight: Wings of Prey has launched. Read what reviewers call captivating, intelligent, and addictive. Share on X

Wings of Prey Cover Reveal

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.

At long last, Deadly Deception is here

Deadly Deception has been patiently waiting more than a year for this day, and at long last, it’s here! Today I am pleased to share with you a brand new release in The Gift Legacy. Deadly Deception continues where Lethal Waters (formerly Penance) leaves off.

In Deadly Deception, knowledge of the gift leaks into a clandestine world where operatives are above the law. When Emelynn learns her government has betrayed her and abducted her lover, she defies orders to find him. The revenge that is unleashed will challenge Emelynn’s perception of herself and test her resolve to honour those she loves, even if it means losing them.

A fast-paced, compelling read.
