That’s right, my beloveds…the day is finally here. The second Sons of Ymre book is out in the world!
Sons of Ymre: Jake
Willow Grainger’s skills as a vet tech are always in demand, and animals don’t ask questions—but when a horribly battered man collapses before her one evening, she can’t ignore that kind of distress. Bleeding, nonverbal, and clinging to consciousness, he’s pursued by the same shadowy menace that has hunted Will all her life…and now, that evil is chasing them both.
Jacob’s mind is a wasteland, his body isn’t far behind, and he’s escaped the Mad God’s minions. His savior isn’t just a woman but an angel—more than that, a potential, invaluable in a war he barely remembers fighting. His memory unreliable and his instincts hair-trigger murderous, he has no problem violently protecting Willow or taking her on the run.
Chased by nightmarish monsters, forced into unwilling alliance, Will and Jacob have no-one to trust but each other. But then the Sons of Ymre find them, and the real danger begins…
Now available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple, and independent bookstores.
Not only that, but the first book in the series (Erik’s story) is $.99USD in ebook at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Apple until November 30, so if you’re looking to get that, now’s a good time.
The publisher’s asked me for a third, so I think we’ll have a trilogy on our hands–Elder, Younger, and Father. I’m already boiling the final book inside my head–it just has to take its place in the queue, really. (After the first Cain’s Wife, and revisions on Gamble, and, well, Other Stuff.)
But that’s not the really cool thing. Since you’re here, I want to share something very special with you.
And Introducing…Zorro!
So the graphics designer over at Belle Books (hullo, my very dear Mx Ireland!) sent me this absolutely wonderful graphic featuring their office hound, Zorro. Zorro is fond of treats, long naps on the sofa, walkies, more treats, and quality-checking every design before it goes out the door. Zorro has graciously given both Ymre books the coveted Sniff of Approval. (Reports that I paid him off with treats and soft pats are LARGELY EXAGGERATED.)
Belle bought ImaJinn Books when the press owner at the latter passed on; ImaJinn was the first publisher to really take a chance in me waaaay back in the ’00s. And Belle has been wonderful to me in just about every way, including sending me pictures of dear little (I mean BIG and TERRIFYING) Zorro to keep my spirits up as the publishing industry goes all wibbly-wobbly. They’re good folk, and Zorro is a Very Good Boy.
In fact, I have to say this is about my favorite book cover ever. Maybe one of these days I’ll write the story that goes with it. (And of course, Zorro will be a character.)
That’s about it for release day, my dears. If you need me, I’ll be in the corner hyperventilating…
