Happy Wednesday Scribblers. It’s August and today, do I have news for you. After teasing you for months, now is the time! Feast your eyes on this beautiful cover for Volaria! I can honestly say I’ve never seen anything like it and I couldn’t be more pleased.
I’m so thrilled to share the cover of Volaria with you today, this beautiful new cover is for my next science fiction and urban fantasy novel debuting on October 1, 2022. This is my first novel with my new publishing house Spectrum Books (find them here) and I couldn’t be more pleased with how well the book is moving along. First round of edits have been sent off and I’ve been working behind the scenes with the staff to create some wonderful marketing pieces I’m going to be sharing as well.
Here is the blurb of this exciting new story:
Humans are no longer alone; they have been joined by Arcanes, Lycans, and Vampires. It’s been over a hundred years since the Earth went through The Shift. Where once almost eight billion humans lived, the population now holds at four billion. But that wasn’t the only change. No one anticipated the branching of human DNA to produce new species of humans. Arcanes, Lycans, and Vampires are hidden throughout the genome, awaiting puberty before they manifest distinctly unhuman abilities. Finally, the new species of man were welcomed. No longer studied or treated as outcasts by most. People accepted these new humans, and they integrated into society, albeit not easily. This allowed the UN Government to focus on colonizing space, in order to secure a future for all.
Risks remain, however, permitting a vampire to feed from you can cause shared memories. Tobin Corsian took such a risk. He resides in a newly reopened district of San Jose, California, where his family’s old home stood. He lives there with his friend Mikel, a Lycan, and his dog Begger. Instead of making his mandatory monthly blood donation at the government blood bank for the vampire community, Tobin decides, with the help of his therapist, to visit Biter, a vampire spa. The spa allows vampires to feed from humans directly while providing spa and sexual services, granting the donor a three-month reprieve from their required donations. Tobin’s encounter at Biter opens a window to his past and an experience he had as a child on the moon. Questions abound as he tries to unravel his past and make sense of his life.
What do you think? Are you as excited as I am to get your hands on this wonderful new dark tale? Mark your calendars, as this book will go on sale on October 1, 2022. I will announce once pre-orders are ready, which should be in the next couple of days. You’ll be able to get your copy of Volaria exclusively on Amazon. Well, that’s all for this week. Until next time, have a great week.
