Cover Reveal for The Wiccan Tales!

My third book, this one a novel, coming soon!

Halloween will be here sooner than you think! And what better way to prepare mentally than reading my newest book (a novel this time) entitled The Wiccan Tales. Coming soon (around the first of September 2024). For now, enjoy my cover design, full of elements from the novel.

Summary:

Lady Krystaline Mondall, head of the Mondall Wiccan coven and living on her ancestral Mondall Estate southwest of London, England, deals with challenges when she accidentally unleashes an ancient demon on the world. It’s a game of release, capture, release, and so on, as Krystaline battles, with the aid of her coven members and the silver Sword of Deliverance, not only that demon but a rival coven bent on gaining control over it to rule the world. As romance blossoms between Krystaline and the newest member of her own coven, the chase for the demon takes them to the USA and back to England. It’s an up-and-down adventure for fantasy fans.

And it all started with a short story, now part I of the novel. That story was inspired by various posts on social media and from my hubby bringing home Hooky, an illustrated novel. Cute, interesting, and definitely not the childish story you would expect as was a book I recently read called Howl’s Moving Castle that hubby brought home from the library (there are two sequels, and we just ordered all three Castle books as well as the three Hooky books).

This book, as is true of all my writings and other creative efforts (design, music, etc.), is pure human effort. Oh, and hubby is my reader and substantive/developmental editor (see my article here for various types of editors). Sometimes he would question something and have me thinking that the error he was pointing out would make the whole plot collapse, but there was always a way to fix it and make things work. (Writing is such fun, and I can’t imagine anyone wanting to turn that joy over to computer programmers behind the thing called “AI.”)

And don’t worry. The gore is relatively mild—just a rampaging demon and his pillar-of-fire minion. And the sword play is more magical than slashing.

Oh, and my thanks to Sword & Saturday host The Brothers Krynn for inspiring me to add the silver Sword of Deliverance to Krystaline’s arsenal.
