*****

BLURB: War is brewing in the north. After liberating Elbeth, Aeden and his brother return to Healer’s Hall only to learn that a northern army has formed in retaliation against Yoruth’s roving southern bands. With the identity of the mysterious Yoruth still unknown, the High Council of the Society of Healers sends Aeden and Betha to discover the madman’s whereabouts and to learn the secrets behind the ancient artifacts he seeks. Aeden, still stung by the betrayal of his best friend and aided by his own emergent empathic powers, begins to suspect that Yoruth’s influence may reach into the highest levels of the Society.

But as the events of their mission unfold, ghosts from Aeden’s past reveal the truth behind his family’s political decline and confirm Aeden’s worst fears: the complicity of respected Society members in Yoruth’s atrocities. For Betha, loyalty to the Society is paramount. Her loyalty and Aeden’s growing suspicions give rise to a dangerous distrust, one that threatens both their mission and their kingdom. As the northern army draws near, Aeden and Betha must decide if a life together is worth the sacrifice—Aeden of his past and Betha of her future.

BLURB: Aeden Rossam: 17, son of a nobleman, expert swordsman, spoiled, let’s face it: he’s a punk.

Betha Solvinstra: 18, common shopkeeper’s daughter, rising star in the Society of Healers. Oh, and she hates the nobility.

After the sword tournament in the city of Elbeth, the master healer—leader of the secretive Society of Healers—invites Aeden to join him, and shares the Society’s great secret: that all mankind are Rohvim—beings of metal, flesh, and fantastic powers that the uninitiated see as magic. After Aeden sees his beloved city overrun by a mysterious northern warlord’s army, he and Betha are chosen to find and stop the warlord before the entire kingdom falls to ruin. To succeed, Aeden must master his Rohva nature, and with Betha’s reluctant help claim the powers that only a Rohva with a true knowledge of himself can wield.

And along the way, they will begin to unlock the secrets of Earth’s troubled past….

Price Increase

This post is to point out the recent changes in pricing for covers. This price increase will become effective MAY 6th, 2013.

Previous clients, and those who are confirmed scheduled before May 6th (i.e. I’ve “penciled you in”) are NOT subject to the price increase. Your prices are pretty much locked in for the foreseeable future.

Additionally, potential new clients who email me before May 6th 2013, will also not be subject to the price increase. But you are looking at about a 10-12 week wait.

Cover: “To Free a Spy” by Nick Ganaway

Cover reveal for author Nick Ganaway’s upcoming release, “To Free a Spy”.

Look for it coming soon to print and ebook!

BLURB: Can freeing the spy behind it all lead to justice?

The Boeing 747 carrying a nuclear bomb is minutes from inflicting more death and
destruction on the U.S. mainland than 9/11. Can counterintelligence operative Cam
Warfield unravel the web of espionage, extortion and smoldering revenge in time?

The search begins when intelligence officials become aware of an Iranian terror broker
who will pay millions for the CIA-controlled name of a Russian scientist who has access
to the former Soviet nuclear stockpile. This is a gods-sent solution to a certain ambitious
Washington politician who knows this name and will give it up for the $5 million he
desperately needs in order to buy off an extortion threat—one that could end his White
House hopes—and his freedom. But there’s a beautiful woman who knows her way
around Washington who also can provide the Russian’s name. How? She just happens to
be sleeping with the CIA chief.

Warfield encounters minefields in Tokyo and Atlantic City, Vegas and Paris. But in the
crucial minutes before disaster the most dangerous threat of all is centered in the Oval
Office at the White House!

*****

BLURB: Ken (“Cannoli”) Knoll is just your average architect.  Not a detective.  That is, until his young assistant Edison returns from a routine job inspection of one of the firm’s buildings with startling news.  There’s a dead homeless man at the construction site and Ken is aghast when he learns Edison has taken it upon himself to remove the body and load it into one of the firm’s trucks.  However, before Edison can spirit the body away and dispose of it, a couple of the firm’s top brass show up for a tour and Edison isn’t able to put his plan in motion.  And then Edison informs Ken that another architect has absconded with the truck, only to have it break down on the road, eventually ending up in the shop.  When Ken finally catches up with the truck, the body has disappeared.

Now, Ken must track down the body while at the same time try to keep his superiors from finding out, balance relationship trouble with his girlfriend Mary, and sympathize with fellow architect Gwen who’s having a rough time, and satisfy a demanding client with grandiose ideas of the perfect chocolate shop.   Surely, nothing else can go wrong?  Like another dead body….
