A NEW AGE ... ARE YOU READY FOR IT?


At the dawning of a new day, a serpent slithers, reaching the first of many etched stone steps reaching toward the sun. Adorned in a kaleidoscope of feathers gently blowing in the warm breeze, he advances with great determination. 

Robed in the whitest of fabrics, the crowds gather with tablets in hand, their eyes dart, following each and every movement from all who surround the temple.


The journey is long, inch-by-inch he coils around each glistening stone. All is silent as his tongue licks the air. A keen eye glances downward. All are breathless.


As the light gently shifts and the temple shadow bathes the crowds in the north, the serpent reaches the final step. He raises, and the vivid plumage pierces the azure sky.


"I have a revelation .... I am lifting the veil ....  a new discovery. It will transcend an renew — "



Jaws drop as he utters the astounding news.


The clouds swirl, lightning flashes, images form into a massive picture. Paralyzed, the crowd holds their breath. 

"Today I reveal to you ..... HEATHER McCORKLE'S NEW COVER!"









































The crowds gasp.

"Now go, and add this to your Goodreads list. I will know if you have not. So take heed."

This really is an awesome cover!

I've just spent a few minutes, Michael, catching up on your last four posts. I haven't been able to blog much since the first of April, and have missed your posts. They are SUCH visual treats!

Hi Michael,
This sounds like a definite hit for my lengthy reading list!
I'm back from my son's wedding in upstate NY and very tired, catching up on lots of things, and trying to refocus on my next project. Have a LOT of blog reading to do too:-)
