Good News Day

Welcome to this week's good news...
coming to you this week by Cheryse Durrant


SALES

JM Bray has signed a contract with Escape Publishing for the second book in his Shroud Trilogy, Mending the Shroud, which captures Vincent and Jule and the gang in a less than boring Thanksgiving holiday. The novel's release date is July 1 so JM has his head down, butt up, transforming his edits into another piece of magic.

If you haven't read JM's debut novel, Tearing the Shroud, check it out at Amazon, iTunes, Escape Publishing or Kobo.



RELEASES

Stacey Nash's latest release hit the e-shelves on February 17.
Forget Me Not is a YA Sci Fi from Entranced Publishing.



Fiction is Fact. Know the Truth.

Since her mother vanished nine years ago, Anamae and her father have shared a quiet life. But when Anamae discovers a brooch identical to her mother’s favorite pendant, she unknowingly invites a slew of trouble into their world. Because when the brooch and the pendant are worn together, they’re no longer pretty pieces of jewelry—they’re part of a highly developed technology capable of cloaking the human form. Triggering the jewelry’s power attracts the attention of a secret society determined to confiscate the device—and deal with everyone who is aware of its existence. Anamae knows too much, and now she’s Enemy Number One.

She’s forced to leave her father behind when she’s taken in by a group determined to keep her safe. Here Anamae searches for answers about this hidden world. With her father kidnapped and her own life on the line, Anamae must decide if saving her dad is worth risking her new friends’ lives. No matter what she does, somebody is going to get hurt.

ANTHOLOGY NEWS

Great Australian Ute Stories, published by Harper Collins, has been released as a paperback following its successful trade release last year. The John Bryant edited anthology features a humorous short story by DarkSider Cheryse Durrant, but is published under her journalism pen-name, Cherie Curtis. Reincarnated Landcruiser tells the story of a farmer and his two loves. Durrant was delighted to discover her books side by side each other in Dymocks. Talk about cross-genres... (but then again, both stories are set in Queensland).
