I hope to complete the publishing process within the next week, and will let you know as soon as this one is available for download. In the meantime, to whet your appetites, here’s a little goodie for you. A cover reveal/teaser graphic all in one. Enjoy!

Woo hoo! I am so excited about this, Marcia. The cover is awesome! I positively love this series and the characters. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for them in The Emissary 3. Huge congrats and a plethora of Snoopy dances, my friend! 🙂 ❤

Thanks so much, Mae! I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed it, and hope you’ll enjoy this one, too. As usual with these tales, some laughs, some tears, and presiding over all, that angel with those honkin’ big white wings, as Dodger would say. 😀 I’m looking forward to seeing what you think when you’ve had a chance to read it. But I hereby give you my permission to read at least another Dresden Files book before checking it out. Still eager to get your thoughts on those last few. 😀

This the the final novella in the trilogy, and they are each only about 100 pages or so. All three combined, which they WILL be for print, they’re still shorter than most of my books. 😀 I do hope you’ll enjoy them, if you get a chance to check them out. 🙂

Nope. Jake was a minor character in Finding Hunter (Riverbend 2) and there’s a reference to that at the beginning of The Emissary 1, but not really that big of a deal. 🙂 Let me know if you take it on. It’s very different from any of my other books as to subject/genre/whatever, but I really enjoyed writing it. Hope you’ll like it! 🙂

Just be sure to start with TE1. These novellas do need to be read in order. AND I’m so pleased you are going to give it a try. Hope you enjoy it. 🙂 ❤ Also hope you are enjoying Lanternfish, too. I've got both books ready to go, and plan to start them soon, myself.

While I LOVE the root monsters, I don’t think there are any in TE1, so I’m guessing you posted this in the wrong spot. But I love ya, ANYWAY! 😀 ❤

Well, just in case you get a chance to make a choice soon, I’d go with continuing the next WRR book. 😀 I’m still nit-picking with a few more details on TE3. But either way, I’m glad you jumped on it. Hopefully I’ll have this third novella done very soon, but there are some major interruptions coming up
over the next two days, with a HUGE tree removal job that must be done in our backyard before another storm threatens us. I’m doing the best I can to get this one published SOON, though. 🙂 Thanks for letting me know you’re interested in it! 🙂

Okay, WRR it is. Good luck with the tree removal project. 😀 That’s a good thing to do if it’s threatening the house. I hope you have a season without dangerous storms, Marcia. ❤

It is a 40+ year old laurel oak, which is way older than the typical life span of these trees. It’s in a Tree Nursing Home. On Life Support. Fading Fast. 😯 It’s leaning toward the house and would fall straight through the living room ceiling and onto the driveway out front. I was supposed to get this scheduled before hurricane season started. DOH. It’s got to go NOW, so I don’t have to have nightmares every time one threatens our area. But our backyard is very crowded with large plants and beds and sheds and “Bali huts” and stuff, so they can’t get their big equipment in. It will probably take two days doing it the old fashioned ways. 😦 But it has to be done, sad as it is to see the last of our shade trees go.
So, will you be meeting Rabbit next, then? Just trying to remember. 🙂
