Cover Reveal and Pre-order of The Diamond Bearer's Secret

The Diamond Bearer's Secret, book 5

Does the cover make you excited for the next installment in The Unaltered series? The Diamond Bearer's Secret, is now on pre-sale on Amazon and Smashwords. (Coming soon to iBooks and Nook.) Release date: May 15th, 2015. 

 In The Diamond Bearer's Secret, Calli Courtnae learns everything she's been through since receiving a diamond has been in preparation for a much larger purpose. An event looms in the future that could end life as she knows it and Calli's assistance with prevention is crucial. However, the Diamond Bearers are dividing at a time they should be uniting. The centuries-old comrades are upset about the young companions joining the ranks. They're unaware Calli can hear their grumblings, and through her, Crimson. The ultimatum still stands: support nature's will or surrender your diamond.

Problems arise over an anonymous blog revealing critical information about people with powers. The blog must be stopped before the secrets of the Diamond Bearers are released. Unfortunately, the powers contained within the Sanguine Diamond don't include the ability to shut down a blog. Only those who understand how the virtual world works can fight against a virtual enemy.

With everything escalating around them, Chris and Calli still find time to get to know each other better. Will they like what they find? Will all of the approved Bearers choose to accept a diamond and be defenders of nature? What other information will be found within the files from General Harding's compound? The more pressing question is what secrets do Crimson and Maetha keep?

Go pre-order your copy on Amazon and Smashwords to help push the book's rank up the charts. At 12:01am on May 15th, 2015, you'll receive the download. (As soon as the book is available for pre-sale on iBooks and Nook, I'll update with links.)

I'd love to hear what you think of the cover. Leave a comment below, and be sure to share the excitement on Facebook and your other favorite social places.

 A special note to my readers: Without you, my book series wouldn't have hit the Bestseller lists in seven countries with 250,000 downloads. Because of you and your excitement over the series, I've landed a literary agent who went on to land a Hollywood producer who is currently optioning the series for film. The latest development is book publishers are showing interest in the series.
What am I currently doing? Getting ready to jump in on book number SIX!

Thanks to my readers!

Announcing Book Five of The Unaltered Series: The Diamond Bearer's Secret

I'm excited to announce the title of book five in The Unaltered series and the release date.

The Diamond Bearer's Secret
will release on May 15th, 2015.

The news Calli receives at the Diamond Bearer gathering changes the way she views herself and her future. Not only does she learn she's the most powerful Bearer alive, she can now hear other Bearers' thoughts. The grumblings of centuries-old comrades concerning her young age isn't too surprising, keeping the secret that she can hear them is a different matter. The Bearers are dividing at a time they should be uniting to protect the human race. As Crimson stated, "Either continue being an agent of nature or surrender your diamond." Not everyone will choose wisely.

Chris and Calli get to know each other better. Will they like what they find? Will all of the approved Bearers choose to accept a diamond and be defenders of nature? What other information will be found within the files from General Harding's compound? The more pressing question is, what secrets do Crimson and Maetha keep?

On April 2nd, 2015, I'll send an email to my Awesome Fans newsletter subscribers announcing the winner of the Sanguine Diamond replica. If you'd like to enter the drawing, read this post to find out how. 

In the newsletter, I'll also include a excerpt from The Diamond Bearer's Secret as an exclusive sneak peek for my loyal readers. So stay tuned, and by golly, if you haven't signed up for my newsletter, you'd better do so.

A Diamond in my Pocket Amazon description:
Calli Courtnae, age 16, unexpectedly breaks the 100-meter world record at a high school track meet and is whisked off to Montana to train for Olympic tryouts. Upon arriving, however, she finds something totally unexpected. Her fellow athletes are secretive, mysterious, paranoid, uncommonly beautiful — and endowed with the same gift of superhuman speed that she now exhibits. The truth, Calli learns, is that she has been brought to Montana to join an elite clan of Runners who train to undertake highly secret missions for the benefit of superhuman kids everywhere.

When three Runners from her compound are kidnapped by a clan of evil terrorists who can kill with their thoughts, Calli is assigned to the team that must deliver a rare magic diamond to the terrorists in exchange for the hostages. Calli is just beginning to accept her new world when it is turned upside-down by a mysterious woman who secretly gives Calli the real diamond, while the team leader is given a decoy. Almost immediately the magic diamond in Calli’s pocket unleashes within her a startling range of supernatural powers and mind-reading abilities. Using her new-found powers, Calli exposes traitors among her team, discovers that the hottest-looking guy on the team believes she is his soul-mate, has visions of her companions’ tragic futures, and learns that she alone holds the power to change their futures. While Calli knows that her powers derive from the secret diamond in her pocket, her companions do not, and Calli dreads the fast-approaching day when they will discover the truth.
