We are so thrilled to share the cover for our new release, Dear Hades, with you!

Kirk DouPonce of Dogeared Design once again delivered a fantastic cover, and we couldn’t be happier with it.

This third installment of the Dear Hero Series by Hope Bolinger and Alyssa Roat is a standalone in the Dear Hero storyworld, and it rocks.

Filled with snark, humor, and fast-paced dialogue, this sweetest of rom-coms will keep you flipping pages well into the night.

About the book:

7:30 PM
Persephone: You ever wanna murder a deity?

7:34 PM
Hades: . . . Let me guess, your mom?

Persephone: Wow, babe. You’re great at this game.

Rising from the Underworld into the twenty-first century may have seemed like a second chance for Medusa, but love is elusive when heroes would rather slay a monster than date her.

Disliked for his dire prophecies, blind prophet Tiresias would rather make a new life for himself than join heroes on another monster-hunting venture. Perhaps meet someone . . .

The two match on DearHades, a dating app for resurrected monsters, shades, and demigods curated by Hades and Persephone, whose fate hangs in the balance of the app’s success. No pressure.

Caught amongst meddling gods, murderous heroes, and a classic Greek bet, Medusa and Tiresias may have signed up for more than a dating profile.

This incredible book is available for preorder RIGHT NOW, and will release on October 3, 2023.

We hope you love it as much as we do!

Happy Reading!

We cannot tell you how thrilled we are to reveal the cover for the next book in the Banshee Song Series by Laura L. Zimmerman!

Here’s a little about the book itself:

Half-fae banshee, Caoine, is devastated by the loss of her father and couldn’t care less about her high school graduation. Ignorant of an old enemy seeking revenge, she is whisked away to the Unseelie Realm where she learns someone dear to her is being held captive. She vows not to go home until he’s free.

 

Then she finds out she’s trapped, unable to return to the human realm.

 

In order to go home, she must set aside old prejudices and work with a nemesis to survive faerie tricks and fae creatures hungry for human blood. Only then will she discover the secret to her escape and her loved one’s freedom.

 

Aided by an unlikely band of fae, she uncovers more about her banshee powers than she dreamed possible, even as the fae remind her just how human she really is.

 

She’ll take the drama of high school over the pettiness of the fae any day.

And now for the cover!

We are thrilled to share our latest cover by Sara Helwe Digital Arts with you!

But first, a little about the book itself.

Burn is the third and final book in the Firebrand Chronicles. If you haven’t read the first two books, Spark and Flare, now is the perfect to catch up before Burn releases on May 26th!

From the back cover:

Life: 1. Brenna James: 0.

An AWOL talent, an enemy-occupied hometown, and a Life Shade boyfriend—Brenna James just wants something to go right. Although her family has been given sanctuary in Syeira, Brenna will never be safe as long as Rune is hunting down and killing Firebrands.

Can someone please wake her up already?

When a prophecy sends Brenna and Baldwin on a confusing quest, they aren’t sure where to begin. They must find the Caelestis Staff, a powerful object that both cuts and mends space itself. Rune wants it too, and he’ll use any lethal tactics necessary to obtain it.

Yeah, nightmare material right there.

A traveling oasis, plenty of man-eating mermaids, and one Skeleton King later, Brenna seriously doubts she has the edge she needs to confront Rune. When Brenna’s faced with the biggest test of her life, will she burn like the Firebrand she is? Or will she burn out?

And now for the lovely cover itself.

Thank you for joining us today, and we hope you love this gorgeous cover and wonderful new book as much as we do!

Happy reading!

We are pleased to reveal three new titles soon to be added to our L2L2 Library. Release dates coming soon!

Silence the Siren:

Huntress Ro LeFèvre is offered a job to hunt down and kill a pest plaguing the Seven Seas. A siren has been sinking the king of Angleterre’s ships, and in turn, vast amounts of his wealth.

Fleeing heartbreak, Ro gladly accepts, but there’s just one problem. The king will credit the Marquis de la Valère, and no other women are allowed on the voyage.

Ro will just see about that.

Hiring an all-female crew without the king’s knowledge, Ro hopes they will follow her to the Caribbean, not take the gold and flee.

But when Ro is plunged deep into the ocean by the siren she’s being paid to kill, presented the sirens’ side of the story at knife point, and pressed to join them or die, Ro must decide whether to complete her mission, join the sirens, or something in between.

Before the sirens sink the ship full of men above.

This fast-paced, high-action adventure is a Little Mermaid reimagining and the second book in the Beast Hunter series.

Queen of the Moon:

Zy has no memory of life before ruling her moon. And it doesn’t bother her in the slightest. Each day is the same: get yelled at by her mother—who is not happy to have been dragged along to the moon’s wasteland—stroll through her town to ensure everything is running smoothly, and then dance under the stars until the Silvers show up for their nightly battle.

And her people watch her fight for them night after night, hatred burning in their eyes.

Her people may snub her, may whisper of overthrowing her, but Zy couldn’t care less. She is queen, and she will be until the Silvers defeat her or she finds a way out of her bargain with the King of the Underworld.

Or so she thinks until a stranger breaches the barriers of her moon for the first time.

As the only one standing between her people and the annihilation of the human race, Zy isn’t about to let some attractive stranger end her rule—but a little flirting never hurt anyone. Anything to keep him from discovering her secret.

Ghostly Vendetta:

“Dare to spend the night in mysterious Rutherford Hall! When? The 175th anniversary of the Rutherford family’s unsolved murder. Ghosts guaranteed. Cash prize: $5,000. Want more deets? Ask Tyler, Stewart, or James.”

I laughed aloud as I read the flyer. Yeah, right. To think that I, Candace Marshall, world’s biggest scaredy-cat, would go anywhere near some haunted house, much less spend the night in one. I crumpled the stupid thing, pitched it in the nearest trash can, and went on my merry, oblivious, and soon-to-be-scared-out-of-my-mind way.

* * *

Candace Marshall doesn’t do ghosts. Or zombies. Or vampires. Or mummies.

Anything scary, really.

When she finds herself signed up for a dare she’s gone out of her way to avoid, things spiral out of control. Quickly.

Stuck in a mansion alongside a vengeful spirit, a miffed boyfriend, and a room full of people she doesn’t know or even like (if she’s being completely honest here), she must decide whether to act brave or let the coward within show.

Or kill the person who got her involved in the first place.

Ghostly Vendetta is a prequel novella to Zombie Takeover: Book One of the Candace Marshall Chronicles.

About the Author:

Michele Israel Harper spends her days as an acquisitions editor for L2L2 Publishing and her nights spinning her own tales. Sleep? Sometimes… She has her Bachelor of Arts in history, is slightly obsessed with all things French—including Jeanne d’Arc and La Belle et la Bête—and loves curling up with a good book more than just about anything else.

Author of Wisdom & Folly: SistersZombie TakeoverBeast HunterKill the Beast and the soon-to-be-released Silence the Siren, Queen of the Moon, and Ghostly Vendetta, Michele prays her involvement in writing, editing, and publishing will touch many lives in the years to come. Visit www.MicheleIsraelHarper.com to learn more about her.

What’s next for us? Come back soon for our cover reveal for Burn by J.M. Hackman and our 2020/2021 Production Schedule.

We are thrilled to reveal the cover for our October release, Fairyeater by Pam Halter!

All fifteen-year-old Akeela has ever wanted is an ordinary family who will love her. But the only mother she has ever known is the old hag, Krezma, who berates her night and day. Why did the old woman even take her in?

But Krezma knows her charge is no ordinary child. She can see the auras surrounding living things and communicates with fairies. And the birthmark on her palm reveals a secret Krezma must hold close for the child’s safety.

A secret that the witch, Tzmet, hunts for night and day, drying and eating fairies for the power they contain. When Akeela discovers her fate lies in being the next Fairy Guardian, all hope for an ordinary life dissipates like the dreams they were. She must protect the fairies from the witch and an even darker power that threatens them all.

Akeela is unwillingly thrust into an adventure that throws her into the hands of friends, strangers, and enemies masquerading as allies, and it will not end until she decides to accept her fate and give up her dream.

Maybe even her life.

And now for the lovely cover:

Sara Helwe of Sara Helwe Digital Arts outdid herself with this lovely cover, and we are so thankful for Kim Sponaugle of Picture Kitchen Studio for her fairy illustrations.

Thank you for joining us for this cover reveal!

Today we have an exciting new cover to reveal to our treasured readers. We hope you love it as much as we do!

The Final Paladin by T.J. Akers is the final release for our 2017 production schedule, and we could not be happier to have this adventure round out our calendar year!

When does this compelling novel release?

The official release date for The Final Paladin is November 14, 2017.

Now, a little about the book itself.

Life for Peg Bowman is rough in the infamous slums of Five Points, New York, but her brother’s murder changes everything.

Thrust into incredible worlds beyond any story she’s ever heard, Peg meets Sir Godfrey, an eleven-hundred-year-old knight from Charlemagne’s court, trainer of Paladins. He reveals to Peg her family’s ancient obligation to protect the Key of Apollyon, a relic of immense power. She is the last descendant of the Paladins and his only hope for keeping it safe.

When Godfrey confides her brother was murdered because of the Key, Peg rejects her calling and demands revenge, a luxury she can ill afford as otherworldly creatures seek her death to claim the Key’s power for themselves.

Can Godfrey and his faithful retinue—Chim the Hobgoblin, Rebecca the Jewish Maven and healer, and Jack the sometimes human and sometimes seven-foot Black Dog—keep her safe and convince her that her calling is worth pursuing? Or will she succumb to the Key’s lure and wield it for revenge?

And now for the cover.

We are so thankful to Sara Helwe Digital Arts for creating yet another lovely cover for one of our authors!

We will be releasing more Final Paladin news in the near future, so stay tuned for updates.

Happy reading!

T.J. Akers desires to be a multimillionaire when he grows up and give his wealth to his favorite causes: churches, schools, and animal shelters. Since the millions have been slow in coming, he’s settled for working as a computer technician for a state university and volunteering at his church and local animal shelter. Whenever possible, he indulges his love of writing stories to entertain people, especially younger readers.

Akers holds a Masters of English from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and can often be found roaming the university’s library, especially the children’s and young adult sections. Librarians have always been his heroes.

He lives with his beloved wife of thirty years, his dog, and two cats. The dog is an excellent writing companion, but the cats have proven to be rather critical. Learn more at www.tjakers.com.

About the Book

Tales are often told of heroes who fulfill ancient prophecies. Alara’s Call is the tale of a woman who gives new ones.

Alara sees visions of other’s futures, but never her own.

A young clergywoman with a fiery passion for her Telshan faith, she has been assigned to a mission abroad but longs to lead a congregation in her homeland. Her father, the prime minister, jeopardizes her dream and her safety when he coerces her into what he calls a diplomatic mission.

But it’s a ruse.

The trip is meant to end with her marriage to the crown prince of a foreign nation, where members of Alara’s faith are persecuted and women oppressed. All for a trade agreement her father is desperate to enact.

But her mentor intervenes and takes Alara to Dorrel, the suitor she left behind. They believe they are safe, but foreign soldiers are under orders to bring Alara to the king’s palace…by any means necessary.
