February Already?

I hope everyone has a blessed Imbolc, and Happy Groundhog Day! While I write this post I’m listening to the snow plow out on the street, so I’m hoping for an early spring. ![]()
Last month, I received the cover for my upcoming historical paranormal to be released at New Concepts Publishing, so I thought I’d post it here and share it with the readers of this blog. Doorway to the Stars was a novella, but this one weighs it at a much longer word count. It’s classified as an Epic Novel over at NCP so get ready for some heavy reading!

The hero is an English Spy and the heroine is a witch, so there’s a lot of excitement and adventure rolled into this one set against the drama of the Napoleonic Wars. Add into the equation that he’s immune to her powers and she’s got some trouble on her hands!
And don’t forget to check out my futuristic novella, Doorway to the Stars which was released on December 13!

Hi Marly
Your English spy sounds fascinating. I was once a great fan of the Roger Brooke Napoleonic Spy novels by Dennis Wheatley - he wrote great paranormal books too. My favourite was The Ka of Gifford Hillary.
OK, Groundhog Day I understand - but what’s Imbolc?

Thanks for the compliment on my English Spy!
I’ve never read the books you’ve mentioned, I’ll have to go and look them up!
Imbolc is a Celtic/Gaelic Festival that is usually celebrated on February 2. It shares a lot in common with Groundhog Day.
