Hidden Sanctuary Release!

Book two of the Hidden Series of Elaria is out now and available in paperback and ebook formats! In this second installment of the fantasy action-adventure series, Annalla and Larron continue their quest to save the people of Elaria from war. Even as new powers emerge to aid their efforts, Kahnlair continues to expand his control and eliminate any opposition. 

Rejoin old friends and meet great new characters as you follow a mage’s old family legend toward either salvation or ruin in Hidden Sanctuary! 

An old story, a living legend, and a desperate mission.

You can find links to both books in the series on the My Books page, and don’t forget to sign up for my quarterly newsletter on the Home Page. 

Reminders 

Two reminders/announcements regarding things I have mentioned here and in other places are:

  1.  I will be at the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire for two weekends in August! I set up a Facebook event here if you want that additional reminder. I will be signing and selling books at my booth there!
  2. I mentioned this in my newsletter, but for everyone else… I have a full chapter I removed from Hidden Sanctuary to cut the word count down. When I reach 40 ratings/reviews between the two books, I will make this chapter available as a free extra on my website!

As always, thank you all for your support, and I hope you enjoy Hidden Sanctuary as much as I do.

Hidden Sanctuary Cover Reveal!

The time you have all been waiting for has arrived! Okay, maybe it is just me, but I’m going to share it and pretend everyone else has been biting their nails in anticipation. If you can’t wait even a moment longer, you can scroll down to see the new cover, but I first wanted to share some exciting news. 

WA Renaissance Faire

The organizers have accepted my application for a booth at this summer’s Renaissance Faire! I will be there for the second and third weekends of the fair, August 13/14 and August 20/21. With Hidden Sanctuary set to release on August 16th, I am scrambling to make the necessary changes with enough time for author copies to arrive in time for inclusion at the booths. If all goes well, I will be able to sell some advance copies that first weekend!

August 13/14th is the “Fairytales & Fantasy Adventures” weekend, aligning perfectly with the story told in the Hidden Series. Then, on August 20/21, the theme is “Across the Multiverse,” for those who want to dress up in more of a geek chic than fantasy nerd. Either way, I will be there all four days selling books and signing them all!

Hidden Sanctuary

Thank you to Jonathan Lebel for another piece of beautiful artwork. He, once again, took a stick figure sketch from me and turned it into this beautiful landscape with inspiration from the stunning Cascade range we have here in Washington State. 

After the entire series is released, I will probably look at changing up the covers to something more action-oriented and target-market, but I love the art of these images. These original covers will be for me, and I can appeal to the market later. 

*Spoiler alert* This blurb below includes spoilers for Hidden Memory. 

Larron’s hope fades as he discovers it is not only his people facing the brink of destruction. As the council tries to save what they can, a young mage approaches Annalla with a tempting, if crazy, proposition. He knows a story, an old family tale, and it might hold the answer to finding the fairy.

Join Larron and Annalla as they work with new allies to continue their desperate quest against a cruel dictator bent on destruction in Hidden Sanctuary!
