A Note From The Author
Hi, fellow book lovers! Thanks for being here and supporting Dianne’s blog! She’s kindly allowed several of us fellow Kickstarter runners to guest post here about our work, and I’m so thrilled to be able to connect with you all.
First, some get-to-know-your questions.
1) Do we have any Supernatural fans out there?
2) What about the X Files?
3) Or … is there anyone just looking for something fresh, original, and fast-paced?
About two years ago, I myself checked all those boxes and was especially wrestling with Question #3. Because of that, I decided to finally sit down and write a story that had been kicking around inside my head for over a decade. Book One, Silverskin, came out last September, and now it’s time to release book two, The Dark Lady, into the wild!
Reviewers and readers alike have praised book one, Silverskin, for its lovable, relatable characters, its spooky supernatural aura, and its sweet, heartfelt romance. It’s been compared to everything from The Screwtape Letters to The Twilight Zone to the first two seasons of Stranger Things (before it took a hard left from suspense/thriller into horror. No judgment on the people who loved it; I’m personally just not about that. I’ve also had people say it’s what would happen if Alfred Hitchcock got his hands on a Hallmark movie. So that’s fun.
There’s mystery. There’s found family. There’s friends-to-lovers romance (no/low spice). And, of course, there’s thrills and suspense in spades.
And now, the saga continues …
Okay, Caitee. What’s The Dang Book About?
*sheepish laugh* Right. The Portlock Trilogy follows Ellie, Oliver, Sam, and Darien as they battle supernatural forces that Ellie and her father awakened near the abandoned town of Portlock, Alaska. (And yes, Portlock is a real place. If you really want to go down a rabbit hole, you can check out its Google reviews here.)
When Ellie Forth sets out to have a great Alaskan adventure with her remaining family members, she’s got something to prove—and not to them, but to herself. Four years after the unexpected death of her mother and sister, she’s ready to re-embrace her adventurous side.
Oliver Cole’s life, on the other hand, is very simple: go to work, catch fish, come home, and stash every penny earned into his bank account so he can afford to pay for college. But his life is turned upside down when Ellie and her brother—two nearly-forgotten acquaintances from his childhood—burst back into his life.
After a horrific encounter with the supernatural deep in the Kenai Peninsula, Ellie and Oliver must team up to discover the truth about what happened in Portlock, and how to fight a rising tide of evil that has the power to envelop not just Alaska, but the entire world.
The Kickstarter launches on May 6th, so if this sounds like a series you want more information about, be sure to head on over and hit the big green “Notify Me On Launch” button so you know when it goes live! There will be options to purchase eBooks, paperbacks, hardcovers, and limited edition sprayed-edge copies (plus all sorts of cool swag.)
