FIRST CONTACT, SECOND CHANCES - #COVER REVEAL

As all the followers of this blog know, I love Science Fiction, especially if it has a supernatural or fantasy element, so I'm delighted to be able to to take part in the striking cover Reveal of FIRST CONTACT, SECOND CHANCES.  

Here it is:

And here's a bit more about the book:

First Contact, Second Chances

Everyone deserves a second chance. Even humanity.

Ex-British Army officer Joe Llewellyn is captain of the Shantivira, the alien space station secretly protecting the Earth from invasion. After Joe reveals the Shantivira’s existence to the UN, everyone wants a piece of him. Except his mother. They’re no longer speaking.

But it’s not only Joe’s relationship with his mam which is in jeopardy. His alien bosses have given him an ultimatum: either he persuades Earth’s authorities to completely restructure the global economic system – to distribute resources fairly without exceeding ecological boundaries – or the space station will be reallocated to another, more deserving planet.

With vicious, cannibalistic space pirates prowling the galaxy, brutally stripping and enslaving entire worlds for profit, Joe can’t afford to fail.

This third instalment of The Shantivira fantasy solarpunk series is a must-read for fans of Becky Chambers, Ben Aaronovitch, Ursula Le Guin, Doctor Who and anyone who enjoys supernatural sci-fi.

Book will be available for purchase on 4th May at these places

#BOOK QUOTE WEDNESDAY - #FIRE

#BOOKqw

Today is Book Quote Wednesday and the word is FIRE (in this snippet from THE MATCHAKER'S MARE, it actually appears twice!)

Who knew a stray pony and a haunted cottage could bring two wounded hearts together?

BLURB:

When Megan Johnson inherits an old cottage in the Welsh countryside, she seizes the opportunity to cut ties with her past life, after a broken romance. Her nearest neighbour, a horse trainer, is also something of an enigma. Single dad Glyn Phillips does his best to balance his love of horses and hard work, with his devotion to his son. When he meets his new neighbour, he knows he should resist any attraction. A feisty pony mare which mysteriously appears on his land adds to his problems, but another, larger problem lies ahead. Two matchmaking spirits find their carefully laid plans may not go as smoothly as they hope.

#bookqw Another snippet from the forthcoming publication of THE MATCHMAKER'S MARE to be released on 5th May 2025. I'm participating in #bookqw, the idea is that a word is given for each week of the month and authors post a quote from one of their books, containing that word, on a Wednesday. This week's word is 'MIDDLE' and this is a snippet containing the word.

COVER REVEAL TOMORROW!

I'm getting very excited to be able to show off my beautiful cover for THE MATCHMAKER'S MARE tomorrow. (Release Day 5th May.) Rachel'sRandom Resources is handling a Cover Reveal Tour for me.

https://www.rachelsrandomresources.com/

I'll post details of the bloggers taking part on Wednesday.

(Choccy thinks it's all 'Out of this world!)

The Matchmaker's Mare is a Sweet paranormal romance which is set in rural Wales.  The story concerns young horse trainer and his son, and his new neighbour, a young woman who inherits a small cottage -  but she might not be the only occupant! I don't want to give too much away, but here's the Blurb:

When Megan Johnson inherits an old cottage in the Welsh countryside, she seizes the opportunity to cut ties with her past life, after a broken romance. Her nearest neighbour, a horse trainer, is also something of an enigma. Single dad Glyn Phillips does his best to balance his love of horses and hard work, with his devotion to his son. When he meets his new neighbour, he knows he should resist any attraction. A feisty pony mare which mysteriously appears on his land adds to his problems, but another, larger problem lies ahead. Two matchmaking spirits find their carefully laid plans may not go as smoothly as they hope.

I'm hoping this story will appeal not only to horse lovers, but to anyone who enjoys a gentle romance with a hint of mystery and a touch of the paranormal.
