Daemons in the Mist 2nd Edition Release

DITM_cover003-poster-large

Hello my fine feline friends,


Guess what releases today? If you said Daemons in the Mist, you’re correct! That day is finally here! The second edition of my debut novel is now out there in the world complete with new editing, new design, new cover, but featuring the same fantastic story!


So without further ado here’s a bit about Daemons in the Mist for those who have just magically stumbled upon my blog and haven’t heard me going on about this for the last few months. For the regulars feel free to check out the cool stuff below or go about you regular Kattastic daily programing.


______________________


Finally getting the girl of your dreams; what could possibly go wrong?


Seventeen year old Patrick Connolly has been hopelessly infatuated with Nualla for years but he is all but invisible to her. Until, that is, he rescues her from a confrontation with her ex. Little does Patrick know he’s just set off a dangerous chain reaction that will thrust him into a world of life altering secrets and things that shouldn’t exist, because the fog and mist of San Francisco is concealing more than just buildings.


A deliriously captivating and exhilarating romantic roller coaster full of unexpected twists and an ending you won’t see coming.

DITM Second Edition Cover & Trailer Reveal

DITM_cover003-3D002-small

At my good friend LM Preston's awesome virtual book launch party for Explorer X-Beta this past weekend, (you may remember the cover I did for the book last October) I unveiled the cover and trailer for the second edition of Daemons in the Mist. For those of you who missed the party here is the cover for Daemons in the Mist Second Edition.


The first edition of Daemons in the Mist will become discontinued in May to make way for the launch of the new edition which features new editing, internal layout & design and this shiny new cover. If you were one of the luck peeps who purchased/won the book this past year, congrats you will have a collectors item.
