Coming Soon – TEMPEST RISING

Jane True #1 Out in November

Jane True #1 Out in November

Nicole Peeler’s debut novel TEMPEST RISING is out next month – but you can read chapter one on her website now.

Rockabill, Maine, is a small town with a rapidly growing supernatural population. Like her fellow citizens, Jane True, a 26-year old bookstore clerk, loves the ocean, but even her hardiest fellow Downeasters hesitate to go for a plunge in the surf every night, be it winter or summer. The few who know of her solitary swims are OK with it, of course; it is part of her heritage, and the supernatural is as traditional in New England as lobster rolls. But after she discovers a murder, she realizes she’s being drawn further into a world populated by creatures of myths and legends, sometimes lovely, often terribly dangerous. Creatures such as Ryu, the young (and, need we add, handsome) vampire sent to investigate the murder, and who’d very much like to be her new friend.

TEMPEST RISING is fast, fantastic seaside fun. Look for the book in November, and keep up with Nicole’s adventures on her blog.

    Am I supposed to feel nauseous? I mean, YAY! Excitement!

    Keep your eyes on the blog for some great contests/quizzes/reviews/photos from the launch in which I may or may not be wearing a lampshade on my head . . .

    I was given a galley copy of this. I didn’t think I’d like it. It’s not quite to my usual taste. I really enjoyed it quite a bit and look forward to buying book two. Sort of a guilty pleasure-chick lit kind of fantasy. It’s good fun.
