Bumping because...I wrote another book! This one's extra-special because I based it off a little short I wrote for Xander about Claire. Many many months after writing the little 1000-word story, I thought about it again, and then it served as the basis for a 50K-word novel. (I did make sure to get permission from him first!
) So this one's not exactly PS-inspired, but close enough!*
The cover art is not what I expected at all, but I still like it!
It was just released today (a month ahead of schedule! that was a nice email to come home to), so as of right now, it's available in most e-formats from
the publisher and
All Romance Ebooks. Last time, I think it took another week for the official Kindle version to go up on Amazon, and two weeks for the paperback.
And now, just for fun, one of the synopses with my own commentary added in!
Stephen’s [color=#BF00FF](who used to be Xander) quiet life is turned upside down when he experiences vivid dreams of a woman he’s never met. Liora
(who used to be Claire), having grown tired of her forced isolation and servitude in the land of Marindal, uses the mystical sphere housed in her cellar to attempt to reach someone to help her break free. They meet up several times in a subconscious illusion Liora creates for them
(which used to be the forest/pond/clearing) and quickly form a strong bond. Stephen follows her to Marindal, where he’s instantly captured by her cruel master, Thirvar. Plans for escape become their top priority, and their feelings grow deeper during their secret meetings in the realm of fantasy
(because Claire has VISIONS!). The knowledge that they will want different things once they are safe from Thirvar’s clutches taints the prospect of reaching their goal. They are faced with the decision between seeking out the lives they left behind and taking a chance on the future of their love.[/color]
