A Circle of Shadows – Pre-Order the Final Chapter Now!

By

We’re only two weeks away from the release of the final chapter of the Greystone series! Everything has built to this moment. From the opening of Signs of Portents when Beth fell there has been a larger story tucked in the background of each installment.

It’s been an absolute pleasure to build this story, brick by brick, and I can’t wait for you to see what happens to your favorite characters.

You can pre-order your copy now on Amazon.

Looking for a paperback?

You are in luck. The paperback is available NOW! Order your copy today!

Final chapter? I thought there was more coming?

There is. I promise you that. I know exactly what the second half of the series will be when I finally sit down to write it. More myths and some incredible discoveries, all centered on the purpose of the stone and what role in plays for the future of Portents and the world.

There are hints in Pathways in the Dark as to what I’m talking about, so be sure to check it out.

But for now, this will be the final chapter. It closes out a big chunk of Loren’s story and puts the characters in a nice place to walk away for a bit. My hope is to get back to this world as soon as possible. I’m fighting the urge right now, in fact, I love working in Portents so much. For now, however, I hope to build some new worlds and look forward to sharing new mysteries with you.

Pathways in the Dark is now on sale!!! The penultimate chapter in the Greystone Saga’s first major arc can now be purchased in both ebook and paperback formats!!

From the back cover

The dark pathways of Portents tell of frightful demons and characters’ surprising histories.

Detective Loren and Soriya Greystone’s journeys continue in the next series of tales in the Greystone Collection, Pathways in the Dark. Discover new monsters in Portents, including a phoenix, an onna-bugeisha, and the cult of Anubis. Delve deeper into Detective Samantha Myers’ secretive past, and follow Captain Ruiz as he continues to be plagued by the demons of Portents, even during his leave of absence. As Loren and Soriya battle the city’s monsters and their fractured relationship alike, they come to realize that everyone has two stories…and that nobody can be trusted, no matter how well you think you know them.

The next anthology of the Greystone Collection further casts the city of Portents in the shadows, showing that no one is safe.

Signs of Portents – On Sale NOW

By

Signs of Portents is on sale now!

Today is the day!!

Wait. Didn’t I say this book was coming out on the 30th? It’s only the 22nd. Did I lose my calendar? Or my mind? (Probably the latter…)

There’s a story in there…

It’s a learning game with certain things. I have complete control over my schedule, writing, blogging, editing, etc. When it comes to distributors and how they handle things? Let’s just say I’m still figuring all that out.

I clicked a button. Createspace, an incredibly user-friendly service that I will be using in abundance for as long as I write, doesn’t do pre-orders when ready to publish. As far as I’ve seen anyway. Maybe there is a trick I am missing, some link embedded in a secret html code to be deciphered by Robert Langdon. (I don’t have Tom Hanks’ talent to find it.) I went through the proof process until the book looked perfect and I hit the approve button.

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

All of a sudden my book was on Amazon and ready to go. Not the worst news ever EXCEPT…

The Kindle version wasn’t uploaded yet. I had set that for pre-order (because you can for some reason) so it wasn’t going to ready until the 30th. Thankfully I could change it and the 22nd became THE DAY of choice for both.

For Amazon.

Everything else? I needed a little more lead time than I gave myself. Another lesson definitely learned for the next book. (coming February 2017, hint hint) For the Nook readers, the Barnes and Noble shoppers, iBooks, Kobo, local bookstores, libraries and everything else in the world? Signs of Portents is coming. SOON.

When that day arrives, as soon as word trickles down from my distributor overlords (whom I love and respect greatly) you will be the first to hear it.

So good news, bad news thing but let’s circle back to the good news since I never tire of typing it:

Signs of Portents, the first book in the Greystone series, is on sale NOW.

Get it. Read it. Love it. And REVIEW IT. (Please and thank you.)

Signs of Portents on sale NOW

 

 

BONUS DIGITAL EDITION

Anyone that purchases the paperback of Signs of Portents through Amazon is also eligible for a FREE Kindle version of the novel!! It is through their Kindle Matchbook program. I thought it was a nice bonus and a way to thank you for taking a chance on a new author. Speaking of thanks…

A Word of Thanks

It’s taken quite some time to get here. More than I would have liked and more than certain family members too. (You can read about that nightmare here.) I could not have done it without the love and support of my family and friends, always pushing me to work and to get better at creating, at writing, and everything I do.

The first cycle of the Greystone has just begun. Come along for the ride.

And thanks for reading.
