New Book by Elizabeth Hunter: The Scribe Cover Reveal

You need three things to become a successful novelist: talent, luck and discipline.
Discipline is the one element of those three things that you can control, and so that is the one that you have to focus on controlling, and you just have to hope and trust in the other two.

In August, I’m participating in BlogHer’s Blogging Challenge.  The theme this month is: Hot.

T

alent.  Elizabeth Hunter’s cup runneth over with it.

She must have a healthy dose of discipline as well, because just four months ago, she unveiled Blood and Sand, the second book in the Elemental World series.  Now, she’s gearing up to publish The Scribe, the first book in a new series called the Irin Chronicles.

Every book I’ve read by Ms. Hunter has been a pager-turner and a winner.  One of her many writerly talents is the ability to build credible worlds ~ worlds that co-exist with ours but that we remain oblivious to. Which isn’t a huge stretch when you think how isolated we tend to make ourselves these days.   

Her second talent is or skill is in having excellent editors.  In these days of self-publishing and auto-correct, my eyes have been stabbed by one too many spelling and grammatical errors in the ebooks I buy.  I can’t recall a single error in any of Ms. Hunter’s books.   

And I usually recall glaring errors with the memory of a supernatural being.

Based solely on past reading experience and the synopsis below, the October publish date can’t come soon enough.

Publish Date: October 2013

Hidden at the crossroads of the world, an ancient race battles to protect humanity, even as it dies from within.

Ava Matheson came to Istanbul looking for answers, but others came looking for her. A reckless warrior guards her steps, but will Malachi’s own past blind him to the truth of who Ava might be? While ancient forces gather around them, both Ava and Malachi search for answers.

Whispering voices.  Deadly touch. Their passion should be impossible... or it could be the only thing that will keep them alive?

The Scribe is the first book in the Irin Chronicles, the new paranormal romance series from Elizabeth Hunter, author of the Elemental Mysteries.

Oremus pro invicem,
