A little over two years ago, The Between launched during the pandemic with little fanfare. As an unknown debut author, I had a tough time getting reviews and readers. But the book has been steadily gaining attention. We’re closing in on 200 ratings on Amazon and 350 on Goodreads. Nowhere near bestseller lists yet, but it’s still awe-inspiring to think of how many hours have been spent by people wandering through this strange world of words that I created.
My publisher, Parliament House Press, has begun re-releasing select books from their catalog in hardcover form with all new artwork. The first was Sean Gibson’s hilarious epic The Part About the Dragon was (Mostly) True. It’s a great book, made even more special by the new cover.
On November 7, a new, special edition hardcover version of The Between will be released. UK illustrator, James Hutton, created this gorgeously creepy cover art that depicts The Between as a pyramid with ladders leading downward ultimately to the underworld at the bottom. (Is that the Koŝmaro climbing its way up?!) Check it out! The first 10 pre-orders also get a free Audible code, which is a great way to experience the book a second time (or a good gift to give to a reader friend). Send me a screenshot of the pre-order receipt and I’ll get you the code. First 10 only!
Oh, and one more thing. The sequel to The Between is almost done, and it is … everything I wanted it to be. More on that very soon. Thanks for reading!
