I am thrilled to host today an American author and cyberfriend who brings to our attention an upcoming release. As usual, she comes with gifts, but she'll tell you all about it. So, let's give a big hand to:
Mae Clair
A huge THANK YOU to Carmen for allowing me
blog space to share some exciting news.Kensington Publishing is doing a
Goodreads Giveaway for a paperback copy of my upcoming release, A THOUSAND
YESTERYEARS. There will be two—count ‘em two—winners. The giveaway is open now
through February 29th (how cool, a leap year). If you’re interested,
you can enter here:
A THOUSAND YESTERYEARS is a tale of mystery and
suspense centered aroundevents that took place in Point Pleasant, West
Virginia. You’ll discover a small river town plagued by tragic history and
rumored sightings of the Mothman—a terrifying creature said to haunt an
abandoned WWII munitions site.
The characters are everyday people facing
extraordinary circumstances—secrets, betrayal, murder. I hope you find the
blurb intriguing:
Behind a legend lies the truth…
As a child, Eve Parrish lost her father and her best
friend, Maggie Flynn, in a tragic bridge collapse. Fifteen years later, she
returns to Point Pleasant to settle her deceased aunt’s estate. Though much has
changed about the once thriving river community, the ghost of tragedy still
weighs heavily on the town, as do rumors and sightings of the Mothman, a local
legend. When Eve uncovers startling information about her aunt’s death, that
legend is in danger of becoming all too real…
Caden Flynn is one of the few lucky survivors of the
bridge collapse, but blames himself for coercing his younger sister out that
night. He’s carried that guilt for fifteen years, unaware of darker currents
haunting the town. It isn’t long before Eve’s arrival unravels an old
secret—one that places her and Caden in the crosshairs of a deadly killer…

Tomorrow is release day for A THOUSAND YESTERYEARS, the first novel
in my Point Pleasant series. I’m not actually kicking off a blog tour
until the beginning of May, but I thought I’d do a couple of posts
related to Mothman sightings this week, since he factors so highly into
the novel and series.
The
two couples parked near an abandoned power plant and were chatting when
they spied two glowing red spheres behind a gate. It didn’t take long
to realize those disembodied spheres were actually eyes. A creature
unlike any they had ever seen regarded them steadily in the
darkness. Towering nearly seven feet tall, the nightmarish form appeared
humanoid with enormous wings folded behind its back.....
