For those of you who have been asking me for months about the next installment of The Soultrekker Chronicles, fear not! The answers to (some of) your burning questions are right around the corner: Will Arwyn’s journey to the elven realm be fraught with danger? Is she truly an elf or is she mortal? What will become of the rebellion? Will Arwyn’s crimes finally catch up to her? Will there finally be sparks between her and Galamir? What other surprises are in store?

The final edit is complete and I’ve spent the past few weeks researching publishing options, a search that has led me to an option I am very excited about! It has also led me to an incredible cover designer, whose mock-ups of Books Two and Three are amazing. I can’t wait to see the finished product and to share it with you, my readers!

I’m also looking forward to sharing with you the continuing story of Arwyn’s adventures in Bensor. Some of my favorite and most complex characters in the series are introduced in The Secret of the Hold, and I can’t wait for you to meet them and be intrigued by the secrets hiding beneath their outward facades.

The Secret of the Hold should be released this fall. In the meantime, I am giving away a FREE preview to anyone who writes or has written a review of my first book, The Healer of Guildenwood, on Amazon or Goodreads. Simply message me here on my website (click on “Contact” and fill out the requested information) or on my author Facebook page, Mary E. Calvert, along with your email address, and I will be happy to send that along!

Finally, I have a few events coming up that I’d like to share with you. I will be signing The Healer of Guildenwood at the Kerrytown Bookfest in Ann Arbor on Sunday, September 9th and would love for you to drop by if you are in the area. Also, I am working on dates in the fall to travel to Atlanta for a couple book signings there. I will keep you posted!
