This is a story that is very dear to my heart. A tale of magic, history and complicated love—all set in New Zealand.
Weather Child was a story I podcast many years ago, and I got many wonderful comments on it. I have taken down all the podcast versions now however, as the new edited version is different. I do plan on making an Audible version available after the print and ebook.
I asked Alex White of the Gearheart, who has done many of my covers, to shoot me something to capture the power of Faith Louden, the main character, and the Weather Child herself. He knocked it out of the park, giving me something so beautiful I could not have imagined it. He and his team outdid themselves I think you will agree.
The team who helped Alex make the magic happy were:
Model: Jennifer Nye
Typeface: Renee Chantel White
Crew: Matt Weber, Kelsey Prater, Michael Bradley, Beth Hayes Bailie
The book itself will be available 1st of March, and it is the first in a planned series that I have had in my head for years.
New York publishing said no American readers would be interested in reading stories set in New Zealand, so I am setting off to see if they are right. I certainly hope not.
Never alone. Never apart.
They are the Awakened, a unique breed of people in a remote corner of the world. Faith is one of these gifted carriers of the Seraphim; and in return of her unconditional love, her Seraphim grants her powers of incredible potential.
But not all carriers embrace their blessing.
Jack loathes being an Awakened. He never asked for it, his Seraphim keeping him alive even in spite of his desire to die. Not even a great war could rid him of this curse.
Now a magician of incredible ability and a walking dead man must find a way to work together to save the Seraphim. Someone covets the power of the Awakened, and will not stop until that power belongs to him.
