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.

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.

Teasing Out the Weeds

April 29, 2018 By JPMcLean 15 Comments

We’ve had a little taste of summer here on Denman Island with a stretch of warm, sunny days. What a treat! The first of our asparagus has been picked (it was delicious), and the rhubarb is perfectly crisp and a brilliant red. I even got out in the garden in my shirtsleeves and tidied up a few neglected corners. My achy back aside, it felt good to get outdoors, teasing out the weeds and planting a few cheery annuals.

I’ll soon be doing the same with the next book in the Gift Legacy series—tentatively titled Deadly Deception. The editor has just returned her notes and I can hardly wait to dig into them.

The New Titles

But first, I wanted to share with you the new titles I’m considering for the rebranding of the Gift Legacy series. If you haven’t been following this blog, the new titles and covers will better position the books in the contemporary fantasy/thriller genre, and clear up any confusion about whether or not they’re religious. Elinor Florence has been instrumental in this effort and I can’t thank her enough for her enthusiasm and imaginative title suggestions. I’d love your feedback, your critique or your two cents. Leave me a comment below and let me know what you think.

Book 1 The Gift: Awakening becomes Secret Sky

🎉

Book 2 The Gift: Revelation becomes Hidden Enemy

Book 3 The Gift: Redemption becomes Burning Lies

🎉

Book 4 The Gift: Penance becomes Lethal Waters

Jackson Delaney’s story The Gift: Betrayal becomes Lover Betrayed

What I’m Reading

Check out Elinor Florence’s latest book, Wildwood. It’s the story of one woman’s incredible resolve to make a better life for herself and her emotionally challenged daughter in the backwoods of northern Alberta. I loved it and gave it 5 out of 5 stars.
