Did you have a great weekend? I hope all of you are nodding yes. I really am feeling summer coming on, and I spent at least one evening on the patio at The Copper Onion enjoying what downtown Salt Lake City has to offer with wonderful warmth urging everything into bloom. Anyway, today I wanted to give a shout out to my blogging pal, Laura Eno. Her book called Jewel of Shaylar is available for download today, and it looks incredible. I've just barely started reading it. I couldn't imagine more fabulous cover art. Here's the blurb:
I really want to know what's worse than death. Color me intrigued...

Read Excerpt:
Archaeologist David Alexander investigates the cave where his father disappeared and hurtles into another world, one filled with magic and bizarre creatures. The mad ravings in his father's journals of icemen and dragons may not be fantasies after all.
Convinced his father may still be alive, David begins a treacherous journey to find him and discover a way home. Along the way, he encounters a few unlikely friends. A Dreean warrior, a beautiful thief and a satyr join him as he searches.
David's arrival into this new world sets off an explosive chain reaction of events. Faced with powerful adversaries and few clues, he may not get the chance to rescue his father before disaster strikes, condemning both of them to death. Or worse.
I really want to know what's worse than death. Color me intrigued...

ReplyDeleteThe book sounds like a lot of fun, and you can't go wrong with Laura Eno! Wishing her great success! :-)
ReplyDeleteAlready bought it! Congratulations, Laura.
ReplyDeleteIncredible cover art and intriguing blurb. Laura has this in the bag!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michael! I'm so happy to be sending this into the world and appreciate people like you for giving it a boost out the door. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of Laura's books was the FIRST ebook I EVER bought. Of course, I have to get Jewel of Shaylar.
ReplyDeleteSo is this going to be the Summer of Michael? Are you going to bite into a block of cheese like an apple? (Wait how many people will even get that Seinfeld reference anymore? Crap.)
ReplyDeleteIt is a good looking book. Really good looking.
ReplyDeleteyay laura! :)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking you should do a #summerofmichael hashtag on Twitter. That will help with your "branding" too!
ReplyDelete@P.T.: It doesn't feel like a summer of Michael. I think I'll probably get outbid on a house I wanted and then just have to live out of an apartment for another year. Meh.
ReplyDeleteLaura has been busy around the community today. Yes, her book does sound like an exciting read.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this book all over the web today. Yay for Laura!
ReplyDeleteYay for Laura. I love the cover, title, and blurb. Looks like a winner.
ReplyDeleteCool cover! Congrats to Laura :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a winner. I hope lots of readers pick it up.
ReplyDeleteoooh, a baby dragon! "Drakaris" I say, "drakaris"!
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome and I really like that cover too. Congrats Laura! (:
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Laura!! I'm looking forward to reading this one. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was hot here over the weekend. I just shut the window now... back to chilly. Yay.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely getting this book for my Nook. Laura is an awesome writer.
You working on your next one, Michael?
A pinch of snark sounds like the right extra ingredient in this book. I'll have a look!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your release, Laura! Love the cover.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. All of my current TBR books are annoying me.
ReplyDeleteOk, yeah, this does look fabulous. Thanks for the recommendation!
