A Special Thank You



Can you believe May is just about over? I knew it would go fast with everything I had planned, but I can’t believe we’ve reached the end already. This means, sadly, that the Resistance Anniversary Celebration is just about over. This will be one of my last posts for it. I wasn’t sure what to write about today. Originally I was going to find some fun Ilyon Chronicles facts to share on the Ilyon blog like I usually do on Wednesdays, but I decided on something else. I decided to say thank you.

Half-Blood Cover Reveal

The day has finally come to reveal the cover of my upcoming Ilyon Chronicles novella, Half-Blood!

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000040_00026]

As you can see, it’s a bit different from Resistance and The King’s Scrolls, though once you see the rest of the books in the series, it’s not quite so different. Half-Blood takes you back quite a few years to look deeper into Jace’s life leading up to Resistance. It even includes his meeting with Rayad from his point-of-view, which was really fun to write. Though this is technically a prequel t...
