You are now entering the world of my thoughts.

This blog is my diary of works in progress. The only way a writer can improve upon her skill is to practice, practice and practice some more. Here, in this place of quiet peace, I pen to paper my thoughts and creativity. Welcome to my world.

Cover Reveal: To Ride A Puca by Heather McCorkle

Hey everyone! How is April treating you so far? Any fun April Fool's jokes, pranks or otherwise other fun happenings? Well, I have a fun Happy April treat for you. I am honored to be a part of a cyber-wide cover reveal of my wonderful friend, Heather McCorkle's, newest release, To Ride A Puca. And here is the wonder woman herself to share a little more about her lastest book! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heather: I'm so excited to share the cover of my young adult historical fantasy novel, To Ride A PĂșca, with you. I've been waiting for so long to reveal the news and the cover that it's been driving me crazy! This novel is special to me, as many of you know, because it felt like my heart and soul has gone into it. It isn't a part of the channeler series, though it is a tie-in novel as it's about one of Eren's ancestors. This is a stand alone of a very different flavor and I hope you love it as much as I do.



Here is a bit about it:



Invaders are coming to take what isn't theirs, again.



Neala wants to stand and fight for her homeland, but as one of the last druids, she may be standing alone.



Persecuted, hunted down, forced to live in obscurity, the druids have all but given up. Can the determination of a girl who has barely come into her power bring them together? Or, just when she finally finds her place among her kind, will they end up losing a homeland their very magic is tied to?


This novel is intended for mature teens and adults as it contains some difficult subject matter. 

I had to throw that warning in because I had one person who was disturbed by some of the subject matter in The Secret Of Spruce Knoll. To Ride A PĂșca is a much darker novel than Spruce Knoll and will certainly not be appropriate for some readers. Slavery, oppression, and violent situations are within this novel. It certainly falls under the dark YA catagory. But it is also about hope, love, and belonging. It releases this May! To add this novel to your Goodreads lists click here.

Thanks Cortney, and I agree about horses. Though I love all animals, they are my favorite by far!
