Coming Soon – Sea of Twisted Souls

On April 10th, my husband and I will be attending an Iron Maiden concert. (What!) It’s the first time we’ve bought big tickets for ourselves. Technically it’s to make up for all the anniversaries we’ve missed while moving (even though it’s nowhere near our anniversary), but for me it feels like the reward for something bigger.

I’ve finished the Mystic Island Trilogy, thirteen years after I started it.

To find out more about this exciting event, please check out the blogs of all my fabulous hosts:
First, I’ve done an interview over at Pippa Jay’s blog where I talk about my favorite books and drinks!
Please also check out my fabulous cover artist, Beth Alvarez’s blog over at Ithilear where she’s written about putting together the series’ covers.
The fabulous Rowena over at Seasons of the World Tree also has some words about this event! As does my writing partner!

Go ahead, I’ll wait ;)

Are you back? This madness all started with a dream about two sorcerers challenging each other to a magical duel. It grew into the tale of a dimension-jumping island and the people who lived there. It has been unimaginably fun to follow these characters through their lives, to determine how the island accomplished its intergalactic travel, and to discover the rules and limits of this fantasy world’s magic.

I had no idea where this journey would take me the day I hit the publish button for the first time. It has been one hell of a ride. I’ve met tons of fabulous and supportive writers and authors on the web. I’ve learned how to shed my fear and walk forward without letting stress and insecurity cripple my love of writing. Most of all, I’ve learned that I can do it; I can write a series from beginning to end. And I can see how much better of a writer it has made me.

I owe special thanks to my husband, whose love and support has allowed me to pursue my writing career. Also overwhelming gratitude to my amazing friends, family and beta readers. (Look at me getting all sappy!) And, of course, my co-author who has spent thirteen years dealing with my rambling and near obsessive attention to details.

And finally, if you are reading this, THANK YOU! Without readers, I wouldn’t be able to continue my journey.

Without further ado, I present to you: Sea of Twisted Souls, the final book in the Mystical Island Trilogy.

It’s been sixteen years since Damian departed the island. Sixteen years since he broke his promise to be there when Morulin needed him. Now an adult, she’s ready to take the reins of rule from her father, but he has chosen to pass his position to her brother instead.

When Damian reappears without warning, Morulin isn’t interested in making amends. She’d rather spend her time with the enigmatic Pilgrim, a dimensional traveler with plenty of stories to tell. That Damian seems to loathe him only makes his company more appealing. But she can’t ignore her stepfather’s strange behavior, especially when someone attempts to assassinate the island’s new heir.

Damian insists the Pilgrim is responsible, but Morulin isn’t convinced. Could he be trying to frame his new rival? Or has something more sinister come to visit their island paradise? If Morulin’s family can’t heal their fractures in time to solve the mystery, they might lose their beloved dimension-hopping home.

Once again it was co-written by James Abendroth of Blackguard Press. The cover comes from the ever fabulous Beth Alvarez. Sea of Twisted souls is available NOW for pre-order, and the book will go live on Tuesday April 5th. If you’d like to be notified when the book goes live, please sign up for my Newsletter.

In addition, the first book in the trilogy, Island of Lost Forevers, is on sale for 99cents on all platforms for the next two weeks! You can read the first three chapters for free, right here or on Wattpad.
