It's Time for Night Calls to Soar!

Kimbriel-NightCalls300x200It's been fifteen years since Night Calls was available.

I've been fighting illness for fifteen years, too. I've spent my life savings...saving my life. I still cannot not work at an office job. But I can edit up a storm, and I have an Allie book to finish. That is the reason I kept going.

Today we find out how high Allie is going to soar.

This is the series of my heart, the adventures of Alfreda Sorensson. Allie is back! Night Calls is now LIVE in ebook format: http://bookviewcafe.com/bookstore/book/night-calls/ You can find her at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, iTunes/iBook, and always at Book View Cafe. Print on Demand paper versions from Create Space will follow soon. Kindred Rites appears in January, 2014, and Universe willing, the third book comes out in 2014.

Can you help me spread the word? We are already live at Book View Cafe-- http://bookviewcafe.com/bookstore/book/night-calls/

Anything you can do to spread the word will be very much appreciated. That can be as simple as mentioning that the book is out on your Facebook page, to telling specific people you know whom you think would enjoy the book. Reviews at Amazon and Goodreads help. You can even just share the cover.

Prayer also helps... ;^)

Thank you for your belief in Allie. Here's to finding her new readers.

*********

The cover info follows--

“When you have the Gift, your life is not your own.”

I was born to a family that harnessed the winds and could read futures in fire and water. Yet my mother kept her secrets.

Then the werewolf came, sharing his madness.

Now it’s my turn to keep secrets….

Descended from powerful magic-users, but ignorant of her heritage, young Alfreda Sorensson learns magic and wisdom from her extended family in an alternate early 1800s Michigan Territory.

SOME REVIEWS:

"If you can imagine Little House on the Prairie with werewolves, vampires, and magic, you’ve got an idea what this dark fantasy novel is like. The strong characters, the matter-of-fact tone, and the strong sense of place make this something special."
— Locus Magazine

***
"Night Calls will leave you with that good feeling Wellman always gave--the feeling that though there may be dangers in the world, the powers of goodness and knowledge can overcome. Hopefully, Allie’s story has only begun."
— Baryon 61

***
"Beautifully drawn, solid, compelling characters against a background so real and scary I left the lights on all night!"
---P.N. Elrod, author of The Vampire Chronicles

***
"There are very few books I reread on a regular basis. NIGHT CALLS is one. When I read NIGHT CALLS I thought, first, that Robin McKinley's THE BLUE SWORD had at last found a proper shelf-mate.... "
---Laura Anne Gilman, Nebula Award Nominee for Flesh and Fire: the Vineart War

***
"...well-written, lovely character development, and a magic system that has real costs and dangers as well as rewards. I'm looking forward to reading more. Highly recommended."
---Lis Carey, Lis Carey's Library (NetGalley Professional Reader)
