Laura Eno and Other News

 Laura Eno is one of my favorite authors. Recently, when I went to a conference, her anthology, Demon in the Basement and Other Stories To Keep You Awake At Night, was the book I took with me to read. (On the plane, not before going to bed!)


Now, she has a space opera novella called Wraith. It's part of the Carriena Oracles series.  And today is the launch date! Link over to her Amazon author page or her blog to find out more. Here's an intro for Wraith:
Someone wants them dead. Another wants them captured. No one can be trusted. Secrets, lies, and revelations await Raven and Mikael as their search for Mikael's missing friend leads them to Wraith, a mysterious moon owned by Jeffrey Hamilton, cybernetics genius and Ben's creator. How much of the Oracle's technology does Hamilton possess and where did it come from?
Raven's nightmares from the past threaten her sanity, while Mikael's guilt slowly consumes him. Ben's in more danger than anyone as they race to find the answers to uncertain questions—questions which could lead to death for them all.

And while you're out and about, if you haven't already downloaded and read the anthology, The Corner Café: A Tasty Collection of Short Stories, link over and check out this anthology. (Disclaimer: Two of my stories are included in The Corner Café.) To find out more about the authors and the anthology, visit Maryann Miller's blog today.

And, finally, my latest book is Angel Sometimes, the story of a girl who was abandoned to the streets at the age of 12, started swimming at a bar/restaurant as a mermaid at the age of 17, and at 22 goes home to confront the parents who gave her $50 and dropped her 800 miles from home. Her journey from the streets to home makes her strong. The people who stand by her make her family.

You can go to Angel Sometimes' Amazon page to read the book description, as well as read the beginning of the book. To read the sample, just click the arrow above the book cover.

But before you do that, head over to Laura Eno's Author Page. You can see the list of all her books, as well as her latest book, Wraith. It's debuting today! Isn't that a fabulous cover? I love it.

  4. Thank you Ann. Covers do tend to influence me when I'm book shopping. One that's a standout, like Laura's, will cause me to pick it up and check it out. Hopefully, mine will do that as well.

  5. Just bought all three. :) I should be set for reading for a while, now! They all look like good reads. I didn't know the background on your book, Helen--the author's note on your Amazon page was interesting!

    2. Thank you Paula! I hope you'll review it on Amazon. I'm so happy that you read it and enjoyed it.

      Sometimes I feel like I'm sitting in a bubble and don't know whether readers like AS or not, but then I'll get a nice review. I have 5 now!
