Exile is an Instafreebie Feature!

So a couple of weeks ago, I got an e-mail from Instafreebie, informing me that Exile is one of three fantasy books selected to be featured on their blog 19/9 (yes, tomorrow! Eeep.) I will admit that I had to read it thrice, followed with pinching myself. I am really honored that they selected Exile,though.  If you haven’t downloaded Exile, you can do so here.

Gwyneth has no desire to devote the rest of her life to being a Priestess of Gwynfar, no matter what plans her mother has made. But as her birthday approaches, marking the moment when she becomes an adult – and must choose – another option suddenly appears. She can escape her mother – and her destiny – by stepping through the portal into another world…

Only to find that destiny has a tendency to follow.

 

 

If you already have downloaded Exile, you can buy Daughter of the Dark, the sequel,  at Amazon, Kobo, Ibooks and BN.

After more than a century of moving from realm to realm, one step ahead of the arch-priestess of Gwynfar’s thugs, Jenny is starting to worry that her enemies have found her. Her fear is confirmed when her daughter is kidnapped by Dhurian warriors in front of her.

Backed into a corner, Jenny teams up with the portal justicars. As she prepares for the return to Dhurig, she hopes things will go smoothly.

Maybe it would have, if not for a goddess taking an interest in her, a tangle of vampire intrigues, and her ex-lover demanding to be a part of the search party.

Suddenly, Jenny’s life is much more complicated than she  expected it to be.

I am back!

I am back! So the last 6 months have been filled with hard decisions. But mum’s house is sold, the keys are handed over to the new owners.  Which is huge relief.  I didn’t realise until the keys had been handed over how much energy and time it has swallowed.

A lot of things have slipped to the side. Like my webpage.  I have kept on writing, though.  Which means I have actually had a productive 12 months.  I finished the messy first draft of The Dragon’s Blade, book 3 in the Portal justicars, rewrote Vanished and started a new book in another series.

The plan is to revise The Shifters Justice, book 2 in the Portal Justicars, later this year and have it out around christmas. (Though release dates are always flexible.)

One thing I can say is that there will be print copies of Daughter of the Dark this year. It was on the to do list for last year, but I didn’t have time.

Daughter of the Dark is out!

If I had been more organized, I would have written this blogpost yesterday, but… I am not organized right now.  Anyway, Daughter of the Dark out everywhere (Except at Scribd and 24 Symbols). I hope you enjoy it!

When her mother’s soldiers kidnaps her daughter in front of her eyes, Jenny is willing to do anything to do her back. Even working with the portal justicars to investigate the omnious rumors coming from her home realm, Dhurig. The investigation comes to a skidding halt when she discovers that the vampire king of Ahira has put a ban on portal travel to Dhurig.
Backed into a corner, she approaches Eric, a vampire courtier and her ex-lover. He gets furious when she reveals he has a daughter. He agrees to help her, if she helps him with a string of mysterious kidnappings. She say yes. During their search in Dhurig and Ahira, they discover that their daughter’s kidnapping are connected to a much bigger web of betrayal, greed and dark magic that threatens the stability of the Portal universe.

Daughter of the Dark

When the Dhurken warriors kidnaps her daughter in front of her eyes, Jenny is willing to do anything to get her back. Even if it means  infiltrating the Temple of Gwynfar on behalf of the portal justicars.  She quickly discovers that the portal justicars aren’t the only ones interested in what is going on Dhurig. So are the Ahiran government.

Refusing to travel to Dhurig alone, she approaches her ex, Eric, a courtier at the Ahiran court. He gets upset when he finds out about Rhiane, but he agrees to help her search for Rhiane. In return, he wants her help to find  missing vampires. Backed into a corner, she says yes.  As they search for their daughter, they discover that what they thought were two separate cases are in fact one. As they dig deeper, a web of betrayal, greed and dark magic is revealed. If they fail, they will doom the realm.

As they journey through the war torn land, meeting wary warriors and canny chieftains, Aodh slowly realize a foul magic is spreading through the land.

A cranky old seer….

TheCauldronBound_Huge

For centuries, the Dhur elves have been warring against each other. The intensity of the war has fluctuated, but lately the Portal Clan has been increasing their raids, reaching even the clans on the other side of the Forest. The Creek Clan decides to send out an envoy to find out why the Portal Clan suddenly is raiding them.

Aodh is surprised when the Chieftain ask him, but accept the mission.

It doesn’t take long before him and his friends Meallan and Finn discover that the other clans are besieged by wolf-men and foul magic. As they are struggling to find out a way to stop the attacks, Moirin of the Valley is hiking down from her mountain valley, because she has seen that she will meet them. She also knows that the only way to stop the foul magic is to cooperate. But the creator of the foul magic knows that someone is interfering.
