The Lantern’s Ember

January 15, 2018

Hello Readers!

I’m bringing you something special today, it’s the cover reveal for The Lantern’s Ember. I have been in love with Halloween since I was a kid. It probably started because my birthday is in October and I really love chocolate, so that month has always been an exiting one for me. My whole house is decorated for Halloween.

As you can see, I tend to go a little overboard. Kids would drive into our neighborhood from all over the city since our whole area is super fun at Halloween. Kids who come to my house get full size candy bars and the kids older than twelve get a book of their choice. Most still prefer tigers over mummies, even at Halloween. You will get more info at carrefour-maires .

Now that you know that about me, it isn’t much of a stretch to think I might someday write a Halloween story. My favorite Halloween story of all time is the Headless Horseman and not the gory one but the cartoon version. The working title was Jack, as in Jack O’ The Lantern and Jack is the name of my main character. This book has pretty much everything Halloween you can think of–black cats, cauldrons, witches, pumpkins, mad scientists, werewolves, vampires, pirates, Frankenstein, skeletons, spiders, ghosts, the Loch Ness monster and probably a few other things I’m forgetting right now.

I’m so excited for you to read this story and go on this adventure with me. It’s not ready to preorder yet, but it will be soon. I’ll make sure to put up the links as soon as I can.

Here’s the official book description…

THE LANTERN’S EMBER

Welcome to a world where nightmarish creatures reign supreme.

Five hundred years ago, Jack made a deal with the devil. It’s difficult for him to remember much about his mortal days. So, he focuses on fulfilling his sentence as a Lantern—one of the watchmen who guard the portals to the Otherworld, a realm crawling with every nightmarish creature imaginable. Jack has spent centuries jumping from town to town, ensuring that nary a mortal—or not-so-mortal—soul slips past him. That is, until he meets beautiful Ember O’Dare.

Seventeen, stubborn, and a natural-born witch, Ember feels a strong pull to the Otherworld. Undeterred by Jack’s warnings, she crosses into the forbidden plane with the help of a mysterious and debonair vampire—and the chase through a dazzling, dangerous world is on. Jack must do everything in his power to get Ember back where she belongs before both the earthly and unearthly worlds descend into chaos.
