A huge thank you to each person involved with Resilience’s release!

To each person who shared the cover, chatted about the book, invited friends to the online launch party on Facebook, purchased a copy, reviewed said copy, were a part of the blog tour, or absolutely anything else that promoted this book: We could not have done this without you.

You are the reason we publish books. You are the reason our team goes through sleepless nights, intense deadlines, and flurries of emails and more, working feverishly toward a finished product. You are the reason we do what we do.

And we are intensely grateful for each one of you.

If you have missed any posts on the blog tour (or would simply like to read them again), here is the schedule.

Happy reading! (And Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful fathers out there!)

Without breaking out in song The Greatest Showman style (though we certainly feel like it), we are so pleased to show you the fourth cover in the Reluctant Warrior Chronicles by Amy Brock McNew.

But first, we’d like to answer a few questions you may have.

  • When does this beauty release?

Resilience: Book Three of the Reluctant Warrior Chronicles (Resistance is book 2.5, a novella) releases June 14, 2018, and preorders will be up soon.

  • Do I need to read the rest of this series before I start Resilience?

Absolutely. This series builds upon the struggles, temptations, and victories of Liz Brantley and Ryland Vaughn, while the novellas focus on supporting characters, delving deep into their own story world and hardships. We’re certain once you start the first book, you’ll fly through the rest!

  • Who designed your covers for this series?

We adore Sara Helwe Digital Arts and the fabulous covers she creates. She has brought Liz and Ryland and Nate and Ilona to life, and we cannot wait to see what she does for Mac and Andi!

  • May I see the new cover now?

Of course! But first, let’s learn a little about the author herself.

Amy Brock McNew doesn’t just write speculative fiction, she lives and breathes it. Exploring the strange, the supernatural, and the wonderfully weird, Amy pours her guts onto the pages she writes, honestly and brutally revealing herself in the process. Nothing is off-limits. Her favorite question is “what if?” and she believes fiction can be truer than our sheltered and controlled realities. Visit www.AmyBrockMcNew.com to learn more about this intriguing author.

  • Are you going to show me the cover already?

Sure! But don’t you want to know what the book’s about first?

  • Um, the cover? Please?

And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for…

*

*

*

It’s coming.

*

*

*

Wait for it…

*

*

*

It’s so worth it.

We give you Resilience by Amy Brock McNew.

Happy Reading!

We had two stunning novellas release over the Christmas holidays, and we wanted to share them with you if you haven’t already seen them.

Resistance by Amy Brock McNew is the first of three planned novellas in the Reluctant Warrior Chronicles. This book interlaces with Reconciliation, yet tells the story of Nate and Ilona instead of Liz and Ryland, and comes before the next full-length novel in this series, Resilience, to release mid-2018.

Now a little about the book itself:

Nate Vaughn lives in Ryland’s shadow, always the little brother, always the screwup. After their parents die, he embraces a world of greed and destruction. There, he is powerful, using his God-given gifts to demolish those weaker than he.

He is untouchable. He is in control. Or so he thinks.

Ilona Romenenko is a survivor. She has endured unimaginable torment at the hands of evil and remains unbroken. Her mission: to save those who suffer as she did. Yet she encases the deepest parts of her heart in steel to protect herself from further agony.

She is untouchable. She is in control. Or so she thinks.

When Nate and Ilona are called to fight side by side, their pasts collide, forcing them to face their demons and the growing feelings between them, stealing precious control. Will Nate let go of his past—and will Ilona open her heart—before their demons destroy them both?

Beast Hunter by Michele Israel Harper is the prequel novella to the soon-to-be-released Beauty and the Beast retelling, Kill the Beast. This book introduces our readers to Ro, the huntress who has been hired to sneak into an enchanted castle and kill the beast residing within. We are also planning a 2018 release date for Kill the Beast.

Here is a little more about this book as well:

Ro’s people are starving. A curse has overtaken her land, blackening the soil, wiping out crops, and bringing ruin to all. She doesn’t know what to do.

The only people who thrive are the huntsmen, brought in by the mysterious Gautier to stem the flow of ravenous creatures looking for food.

When Ro accidentally kills a wolf, an idea begins to form. Could she become a huntress? Earn enough livres to feed her family?

But her world is shattered when her father promises her to a beast in exchange for his own life. If she doesn’t go, a curse will fall on her family worse than the one destroying their land. But Ro is determined to save her family another way.

Will Ro have the courage to seek her own fate instead of the one pressed upon her?

We hope you enjoy both of these new titles and that you have a lovely new year.

Happy Reading!

We are pleased to announce we will be taking submissions at Realm Makers this year!

The conference boasts an incredible lineup of sessions and industry professionals, including Ted Dekker as the keynote speaker.

Do you have a completed manuscript?

Acquisitions Editor Michele Israel Harper and Editorial Assistant Jebraun Clifford will be taking pitches and proposals.

What are we looking for?

Visit the submissions page to find out!

About the Book

Brenna James wants three things for her sixteenth birthday: to find her history notes before the test, to have her mother return from her business trip, and to stop creating fire with her bare hands.

Yeah, that’s so not happening. Unfortunately.

When Brenna learns her mother is missing in an alternate reality called Linneah, she travels through a portal to find her. Against her will. Who knew portals even existed? But Brenna’s arrival in Linneah begins the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, including a royal murder and the theft of Linneah’s most powerful relic: the Sacred Veil.

Hold up. Can everything just slow down for a sec?

Unwilling yet left with no other choice, Brenna and her new friend Baldwin (Um, hello, Hottie!) pursue the thief into the dangerous woods of Silvastamen and beyond. Exactly what Brenna wanted to do for her sixteenth birthday. Exactly. When they spy an army marching toward Linneah, Brenna is horrified. Can she find the veil, save her mother, and warn Linneah in time?

And more importantly, why on earth doesn’t this alternity have Belgian waffles?
