I'm so excited to reveal the cover for my new series, Virtual Arcana.
Ready? Here it is! Woo hoo!
I love the cover
because it represents the story so perfectly—a blend of old-fashioned and
techy, romance and magic, reality and illusion, The Notebook meets The Matrix (with
a sprinkling of The Giver). Some friends saw an early sneak peek and asked if
the girl was real or a CGI (computer-generated image). That put a huge smile on my face because that
is the perfect question for this series.” *insert mischievous smile here*
I want to give huge thanks to my friend and
talented cover designer, Steve Graham of the INFINITY CREATIVE (www.TheInfinityCreative.com) for making my virtual reality-esque vision a beautiful reality. I mean, look at that font. Steve, you're a bad ass.
Virtual Arcana will release this
fall serial style, meaning short episodes (averaging 15-20k) will be published frequently
(official schedule TBA), instead of waiting 6-12 months between each long book
in a trilogy.
Each episode will be named after one of the
major arcana cards of a tarot deck.
Season 1- Episode List
0- The Fool
1-The Magician
2-The High Priestess
2-The High Priestess
3-The Empress
4-The Emperor
5-The Hierophant
6- The Lovers
It’s an experiment
for me as an author and for my readers. If Virtual Arcana develops a good following I’ll continue with
season 2 and 3. That would mean 22 total episodes, one for each of the 22 major
arcana tarot cards.
Summary of Virtual Arcana:
In a faraway future, Kelsey Zellar is starting her senior year at yet another school thanks to her twin sister’s troublesome obsession with outlawed virtual reality games.Every school they’ve ever attended is pretty much the same: lunchroom drama, rich kids binging on enhancement candies, and classmates rallying for or against the government’s strict control over everything from entertainment privileges to caffeine consumption.Unlike her sister, Kelsey follows the rules and keeps her nose out of trouble and politics while sniffing out her next flavored latte and favorite novel. But when Kelsey meets a charming book connoisseur, and accepts his offering of a tarot card, she takes the first step toward two new addictions: the guy of her dreams, and his illegal dealing of virtual escapes into her beloved storybooks.Kelsey straddles the worlds of fiction and reality, but is she a fool for believing in her own happy ending?
I realize some of my readers don’t/won’t care for episodic storytelling,
so of course there will be the option to wait until the first season is
complete and read all the episodes straight through as one full-length novel.
But I wanted to offer my new series as a serial for those readers who dislike
waiting so long to read more.
To
celebrate, I'm giving away EIGHT ebooks of the first episode: The Fool.
