“…Perhaps,
had he simply been resting at this spot on the pavement? Had it been nothing
but chance that he’d been here? Simply random that they’d both looked up just
at the right time? Had he even been there at all? She was beginning to doubt
herself. She couldn’t trust her senses at the moment, or her mind. This new world
was screwing with her head.
Sam
reluctantly let herself turn away, but at that moment she heard a noise that
sent a slicing fear down her spine. It was a sob. A woman—or perhaps a girl—was
sobbing hysterically. It wasn’t sad sobs either; it was terrified, miserable
sobs. Sam cast about for whoever was responsible for the crying but saw no-one.
Stranger still, the noise didn’t seem to be coming from any true source. It
simply hung in the air, disembodied, haunting.”
Five-hundred years ago, Victoria Yassim
and Andrew O’Neill landed on Scrabia.
Their story is not yet over,
there is simply more to add to their tale.
~
There isn’t much of an
upside Samantha Turner can see by moving with her father to the desert world of
Scrabia, leaving all she knows behind. But when a brief encounter on her
shuttle flight with an enigmatic stranger inspires her to live adventurously, she
finds herself not only following his advice, but possessed with a desire to
find him again. She doesn’t count on her curiosity throwing her into his dark, supernatural
world—one she never knew existed.
Now Sam’s on the run
with the only person who can save her. She’s at the centre of a countdown to a
Daemon invasion at the hands of a desperate cult.
Along with the
awakening of an ancient evil that has long been forgotten.
Hello all! It is once
again October and I am happy to announce my second book in the "Alternate Words"
series, which is out today--"Approaching Storm"!
The story continues some five-hundred years later (I promise Andrew and Victoria's story is still far from over!) and follows Samantha Turner, a young woman who is thrown into a mess of Daemons and a dangerous anniversary which is fast approaching. For those of you who read the first book and liked Tollin, you should be happy because he plays a much bigger role, and you get to discover a little more about the mystery of who he is--or should I say what?
Book two is a bit of a different take than book one, and honestly,
I believe you could read either one first and be perfectly fine (time travel is odd that way, isn't it?). I had a lot of
fun writing this one and I hope you will enjoy it.The story is growing, and I'm having fun wrapping all of the little bits of it together.
The Kindle version is out NOW and the paperback version will
be out very shortly. UK version here: click.
Cover art is once again by the fantastically talented
Tillieke, go and visit her Society6. There’s lots of good stuff there, I have
some of it hanging on my wall.
I hope you like it. I'm working on book three and have some other projects in the works. In the meantime, read on! I'll try and be a little more dutiful about posting on here, and on my Facebook page, so please go and give it a like, if you haven't already.
Also if you've already purchased book 2, I'm hoping Amazon will be updating it shortly. I've done a bit to make it prettier and easier to read, so keep your eyes open for an update on that.
