Hi! Venessa here. You might recognize my name from my monthly column here at Spec Chic, where I talk a little bit about books, television shows, and lot about conventions, including my Convention Life series and Con Season on a Budget. I also do some behind-the-scenes stuff for the My Favorite Things column too.
In my “other” life, I’m a fiction editor, which is what I’ve done professionally for a decade (because it pays faster than writing). But in 2018, I decided that I was going to focus on writing and publishing my own stuff and cut back drastically on editorial work.
I published the first book of my Soul Cavern series, Jivaja, in late 2018, then was waylaid in 2019 by medical stuff. But I’m here to show you the cover for the second book, Visci!
I absolutely adore her! 😍😍😍
I’m excited to announce that Visci will be released on March 1!
Also, scheduled to be released right on or around March 1 is the audiobook version of Jivaja. So a double whammy!
From the Back Cover:
Jenny has a secret.
When Jenny Barron cuts short her study abroad trip in London to bury her father, the secret she carries threatens her relationship with her best friend, Mecca Trenow. But Jenny knows Mecca has her own secret…
Three strangers show up at her dad’s funeral and Jenny is torn between learning about others like her and remaining under the radar of those who slaughtered her father. But when one of her new friends is kidnapped, she — along with Mecca — is pulled into a high-stakes game where losing could mean genocide for hybrid Visci. Those who are like her.
Can she and Mecca find a way past their secrets? Can their mishmash group of weirdos use their skills, gifts, and powers to rescue Jorge and figure out the greater plan and who is behind it?
Start from the beginning of the Soul Cavern series:
- Book 1: Jivaja (audiobook available March 1)
- Book 1.5: Blue-Edged Soul
About the Artist:
My cover artist is an amazing woman named Sylvia Frost, also known as the Book Brander. She first hit my radar when I was listening to backlist editions of The Creative Penn Podcast and she was a guest. I really liked her thoughts and philosophy about cover art. Also, she’s an author herself, so she understood both sides of the equation, which was also a plus to me. So I bookmarked her site way back then, and now, she’s my cover artist!
I think you’ll agree with me that she does incredible work! So if you’re looking for a cover, definitely check her out.
Pre-order your copy of Visci on Amazon, and get it the moment it releases on March 1st, 2020!
