Kudos for Creatives

Dunno if it's the same where you are, but here in Blighty, so many creative people, especially in the performing arts are having a really bad time of it. So I'm taking the opportunity to wish all of them good luck, and the hope that theatres and the like will all be back to fullfilling their important role of entertaining, delighting and uplifting. We miss you guys.

I'm counting my blessings that one of the most talented designers I know, Icy Sedgwick, has found the time and energy to provide me with some enchanting covers to replace the temporary ones I used to launch the first couple of Colour of Light books. The transformation is astonishing.

The third book, Captive, has my favourite cover of all of the books I've ever published, and it reflects one of the scenes exactly.

SPOILER ALERT!!! - look away if you've not yet read the second book and intend to.
The cliff hanger ending at the end of book 2 had Rory kidnapped by Archer's psychotic brother, Geoff, aka Hengest, the evil so-and-so who's been holding Archer's world to ransom. The gist of this book is all about a bunch of spanners which get thrown in the works when he tries to save her.

Here's a wee hint:
A kidnapped girlfriend. A deranged psychopath. An impossible puzzle. 
Rory struggles to combat Geoff’s mind-control while Archer roams the UK solving infuriatingly smug clues to find them. All is lost as Stockholm syndrome kicks in.

Check out the read-inside here: Captive. If you like what you see, I'm keeping it at $1.99/£1.57 for a week or too longer, then it's up to full price.

And so you can share in the gorgousness, here's the proper cover for the 2nd book, Chrysalis. This sees Rory finally spending some time with Archer after he spurned her teenage crush (on strict orders) and realising it's not always good to get what you wish for.

Here's a wee hint:
An unrequited teenage crush. A suppressed super-power. A world under threat from evil incarnate.
Rory's new powers harm her and only Archer can help. Their long-suppressed attraction unleashes a devastating energy which threatens both their worlds.
Good old spanners again.
