It's finally time!

Well folks, after months of hard work, the time has finally come for me to share the cover of When Shadows Fall with you. I will be doing a cover reveal on Twitter and Facebook soon, but I wanted my wonderful subscribers to be the first to see it!

Without further ado, here it is:

When Shadows Fall

Shadows of the Vale: Book One

“Everything I hated and feared was outside that window.

There was nothing between me and the night,

nothing but a boy I didn’t know and shouldn’t trust.”

When the sun sets in Merak, a terrifying shadow world appears, guarded by nightmare beasts that prowl the darkness enforcing the rule of a tyrant lord.

Terrified of the night and plagued with crippling panic attacks, seventeen-year-old Ara Holstenner’s only solace from her anxiety is the bond she shares with her brave younger sister. But when Lan is taken by shadow creatures, Ara must embark on a perilous quest to rescue her, aided only by a strange boy who claims to be from her past.

But the night is not what it seems. If Ara cannot untangle the dark secrets lurking within its shadows, she will condemn her sister—and herself—to a lifetime of unimaginable torment.

Mark your calendars!

When Shadows Fall will release Monday, June 5th, so you'll be able to start off your summer with an exciting new read!

I will send out an email the morning of with links to buy the book and a special launch day discount code. I will also announce the winners of my special release day draw at this time.

Pre-order for the eBook will be available soon, so stay tuned!

What a journey!

Cover art has been quite the learning experience. Every step of the process has brought its own challenges, but seeing the final product now, I know my efforts have not been wasted.

I love the eerie atmosphere this cover creates, with its silhouette of The Lord in his imposing armour, physically and literally towering over everything, and the mysterious glimpse into the night world where so much of the story takes place. The cover hits the perfect blend of danger and mystery, inviting the reader to face the perilous world within!

Thank You and Closing

I want to take this moment to thank you for following me on this most extraordinary journey. Right now, our subscriber family is small, and though I expect it to grow considerably as I focus on getting the word out, I will always look upon my first subscribers with fondness. I hope you know how much I appreciate you!

And, since my end-of-email kitty pictures have become customary, allow me to share with you another picture of my sweet kitty.

My kitty, Kaylee, helping with my writing as always
