Featured Book: Secret Sky (The Gift Legacy Book 1)

Secret Sky (The Gift Legacy Book 1) by [JP McLean]

The stunning debut of The Gift Legacy Series

By critically acclaimed Supernatural Thriller Author J.P. Mclean

Everybody wishes they could fly – until it happens.

When Emelynn Taylor wakes up in the emergency room, her injuries present Dr. Avery Coulter with more questions than answers.

Who is this guarded young woman? Why was she found in the middle of Sunset Park? How can she have injuries consistent with falling from above the tree line? Seemingly from nowhere?

And, more importantly: Why is she lying about it?

The truth is stranger than anyone could have imagined – least of all Emelynn herself.

Nine years earlier, during the same summer she’d lost her father, 12-year-old Emelynn accepted a ‘gift’ from a mysterious woman called Jolene.

Now, as she recovers in Dr. Coulter’s emergency room, she’s left wondering if that blessing was really more of a curse.

Jolene’s gift planted the seeds of incredible power within Emelynn – but what’s the point of such abilities if you can’t control them?

Her emerging gift of flight, for example, nearly killed Emelynn when it sent her plummeting to the sidewalk in Sunset Park. Next time, she might not be so lucky.

But Emelynn is determined to master her abilities, and returns to the seaside cottage where Jolene had once granted her this ‘gift.’ There, Dr. Coulter guides Emelynn in uncovering a secret society of others just like her, who inhabit a mysterious world-within-a-world that challenges everything Emelynn thought she’d known.

But the more she uncovers, the murkier the truth becomes. Soon, Emelynn is left questioning the motives of those she’d trusted the most – and is forced to rely on her barely-mastered powers in a desperate fight for survival.

Secret Sky is the first book in the thrilling, otherworldly The Gift Legacy series by JP McLean. Seamlessly blending paranormal mystery, fantasy, and romance, this beautifully written and deeply resonant adventure will swoop you into a vivid, new reality and leave your imagination soaring.

Secret Sky is a dark supernatural thriller, perfect for fans of JR Ward, Deborah Harkness, Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, and Keri Arthur.

New Audiobook Release: The Reefs of Time: Part One of the "Out of Time" Sequence: The Chaos Chronicles, Book 5

The Reefs of Time: Part One of the "Out of Time" Sequence: The Chaos Chronicles, Book 5

NEW FROM JEFFREY A. CARVER IN AUDIOBOOK FORMAT!

The starstream is beautiful. But beauty turns deadly when an ancient AI bent on destruction uses it to travel up time, to humanity’s future.

The Mindaru are dead. Or so exiled Earthman John Bandicut and his alien companions believe, after their intervention to save the Orion Nebula and surrounding worlds. But now a part of this ancient and malicious AI colony is swarming toward the present from its birthplace deep in the past. Their opening: a temporal disturbance in the starstream, a hyperspatial thoroughfare used by myriad civilizations. The disturbance emanates from the planetary defenses of nearby Karellia, whose people know nothing of the starstream or the galaxy-threatening Mindaru.

Only Bandicut and his friends have the knowledge and experience to act. But when several of the company go missing, he and Li-Jared must team with the pandimensional Ruall and her gokat – the oddest aliens Bandicut has met since the shadow-people – and journey to Karellia to find a way to cut off the timestream.

Meanwhile, on Shipworld, the “missing” Ik meets another human of Earth – a former lover of Bandicut’s – and embarks with her on a perilous mission far back into deep time, seeking a way to stop the Mindaru at their source.

The Chaos Chronicles returns at last with part one of a heart-stopping two-part adventure. Concluded in Crucible of Time – from Nebula-nominated Jeffrey A. Carver!

New Family Members

Last Saturday, I went with my sister, Debbie to the Nebraska Humane Society and adopted my 2 new family members – Sushie & Oreo. It’s been almost 8 years since I’ve had any fur children.

Oreo is 6 years old and she is the snoopy one. I think she got her name based on the markings on her back legs. LOL. She follows me around but still won’t get up in my lap. She will sleep next to me on the bed or couch, but any fast movements, she’s gone.

Sushie (who I renamed Sammie) is 9 years old and he is a normal tabby looking cat. He does get in my lap, but spooks easier than Oreo.

Both of them had been adopted before and taken back to the Humane Society. This time they have been there since October 2020 & were bonded so I got them both.

This past week they have become friendlier. Oreo still won’t sit in my lap, but she will come to me when she’s ready for petting. A normal cat behavior.

LOL.

They are enjoying the extra room to run around in and places to jump onto. I heard Oreo playing with one the cat toys this morning. It’s taken a while for them to learn how to be playful again. I think they will be happy there.

And, for Christmas, my sisters gave me a cat tree for my new family members. I assembled it in about an hour. However, I wasn’t sure if Sammie and Oreo would like it.

That night I saw both of the sleeping in the beds which made me happy. It’s in my office so they can be near me during the day. I think it’s a hit.
