We are so excited to show you the cover for the next release from L2L2 Publishing!
About the Book:
Bree Faro learns early in life that she has only herself to depend on. Due to her feisty nature and unusual ability with a sword, she is educated in every fighting style imaginable and excels at them all. When she’s sent to infiltrate the city of Azriel, she does not expect to find her place among the Watchmen of the Keep, but they welcome her as one of their own.
Little does Bree know that her new companions are in danger.
An immortal creature lies in wait for any Keeper of the Flame, the city’s water source has dried up, and they are under constant attack from the Yirtzi—former Watchmen reduced to vengeful spirits, who sold their souls for power only to realize the enemy of Yahweh does not translate to the friend of mankind. Not only that, but the Watchmen are fraying. Hostilities come to a head when a Watchman is murdered.
Only a Watchman can kill another Watchman, and all eyes shift to Bree.
Bree finds herself faced with a choice. Does she engineer the betrayal of the powerful city, or does she embrace her destiny as a true Watchman of Yahweh and find the killer before it’s too late?
And here is the gorgeous cover!

Up next: Cover reveal for our next release, Azriel by Lee James.
We adore the Firebrand Chronicles, as we’re sure you do as well, and to celebrate its release this Tuesday, we are compiling a boxed set.
Yes, you heard that correctly: We are creating a boxed set for the complete Firebrand Chronicles. Cue all the fireworks!
J.M. Hackman has written a few extra short stories to include with the complete chronicles, and we are looking at a summer release date.
And now would you like to see the gorgeous boxed set image created by Sara Helwe Digital Arts?
Of course you do!
Thank you for stopping by this spot on J.M. Hackman’s blog tour for the final book in the Firebrand Chronicles, Burn. Check out the schedule below for tomorrow’s blog stop!
And be sure to RSVP {>>>Right here<<<} for the online release party this Thursday. The party hosts, Laura A. Grace, J.M. Hackman, Jebraun Clifford, and Michele Israel Harper, have such exciting things planned for the evening. We hope you have a wonderful time.
We are so excited about this next release from L2L2 Publishing!
Burn by J.M. Hackman is the third and final book in the Firebrand Chronicles, and although we are sad to see the series end, it is such a good ending. We cannot wait to hear what you think of it!
To celebrate Burn’s release, we’ll be kicking off with a blog tour tomorrow through the end of next week, celebrating its release all day on the 26th, and finishing off with an online release party on Thursday the 28th.
We are pleased to bring you the soft release of Ghostly Vendetta, the prequel novella to Zombie Takeover.
A little about the book itself:
“Dare to spend the night in mysterious Rutherford Hall! When? The 175th anniversary of the Rutherford family’s unsolved murder. Ghosts guaranteed. Cash prize: $5,000. Want more deets? Ask Tyler, Stewart, or James.”
I laughed aloud as I read the flyer. Yeah, right. To think that I, Candace Marshall, world’s biggest scaredy-cat, would go anywhere near some haunted house, much less spend the night in one. I crumpled the stupid thing, pitched it in the nearest trash can, and went on my merry, oblivious, and soon-to-be-scared-out-of-my-mind way.
* * *
Candace Marshall doesn’t do ghosts. Or zombies. Or vampires. Or mummies.
Anything scary, really.
When she finds herself signed up for a dare she’s gone out of her way to avoid, things spiral out of control. Quickly.
Stuck in a mansion alongside a vengeful spirit, a miffed boyfriend, and a room full of people she doesn’t know or even like (if she’s being completely honest here), she must decide whether to act brave or let the coward within show.
Or kill the person who got her involved in the first place.
Join Michele Israel Harper and Laura A. Grace to celebrate this new release at the online release party this evening from 8-10 p.m. EST.
Also, our cover artist, Sara Helwe Digital Arts, created the next cover in the series for a special cover reveal during the party tonight. Hope to see you there!
Burn is the third and final book in the Firebrand Chronicles. If you haven’t read the first two books, Spark and Flare, now is the perfect to catch up before Burn releases on May 26th!
From the back cover:
Life: 1. Brenna James: 0.
An AWOL talent, an enemy-occupied hometown, and a Life Shade boyfriend—Brenna James just wants something to go right. Although her family has been given sanctuary in Syeira, Brenna will never be safe as long as Rune is hunting down and killing Firebrands.
Can someone please wake her up already?
When a prophecy sends Brenna and Baldwin on a confusing quest, they aren’t sure where to begin. They must find the Caelestis Staff, a powerful object that both cuts and mends space itself. Rune wants it too, and he’ll use any lethal tactics necessary to obtain it.
Yeah, nightmare material right there.
A traveling oasis, plenty of man-eating mermaids, and one Skeleton King later, Brenna seriously doubts she has the edge she needs to confront Rune. When Brenna’s faced with the biggest test of her life, will she burn like the Firebrand she is? Or will she burn out?
And now for the lovely cover itself.
Thank you for joining us today, and we hope you love this gorgeous cover and wonderful new book as much as we do!
We are pleased to reveal three new titles soon to be added to our L2L2 Library. Release dates coming soon!
Silence the Siren:
Huntress Ro LeFèvre is offered a job to hunt down and kill a pest plaguing the Seven Seas. A siren has been sinking the king of Angleterre’s ships, and in turn, vast amounts of his wealth.
Fleeing heartbreak, Ro gladly accepts, but there’s just one problem. The king will credit the Marquis de la Valère, and no other women are allowed on the voyage.
Ro will just see about that.
Hiring an all-female crew without the king’s knowledge, Ro hopes they will follow her to the Caribbean, not take the gold and flee.
But when Ro is plunged deep into the ocean by the siren she’s being paid to kill, presented the sirens’ side of the story at knife point, and pressed to join them or die, Ro must decide whether to complete her mission, join the sirens, or something in between.
Before the sirens sink the ship full of men above.
This fast-paced, high-action adventure is a Little Mermaid reimagining and the second book in the Beast Hunter series.
Queen of the Moon:
Zy has no memory of life before ruling her moon. And it doesn’t bother her in the slightest. Each day is the same: get yelled at by her mother—who is not happy to have been dragged along to the moon’s wasteland—stroll through her town to ensure everything is running smoothly, and then dance under the stars until the Silvers show up for their nightly battle.
And her people watch her fight for them night after night, hatred burning in their eyes.
Her people may snub her, may whisper of overthrowing her, but Zy couldn’t care less. She is queen, and she will be until the Silvers defeat her or she finds a way out of her bargain with the King of the Underworld.
Or so she thinks until a stranger breaches the barriers of her moon for the first time.
As the only one standing between her people and the annihilation of the human race, Zy isn’t about to let some attractive stranger end her rule—but a little flirting never hurt anyone. Anything to keep him from discovering her secret.
Ghostly Vendetta:
“Dare to spend the night in mysterious Rutherford Hall! When? The 175th anniversary of the Rutherford family’s unsolved murder. Ghosts guaranteed. Cash prize: $5,000. Want more deets? Ask Tyler, Stewart, or James.”
I laughed aloud as I read the flyer. Yeah, right. To think that I, Candace Marshall, world’s biggest scaredy-cat, would go anywhere near some haunted house, much less spend the night in one. I crumpled the stupid thing, pitched it in the nearest trash can, and went on my merry, oblivious, and soon-to-be-scared-out-of-my-mind way.

L2L2 Publishing is pleased to announce that we have signed a new author.
Before we introduce her to you, we would love to tell you a little about her book. It is stunning!
Azriel
Born in secrecy and hidden away in shame, Bree Faro learns early in life that she has only herself to depend on. Due to her feisty nature and her unusual ability with a sword, Bree is educated in every fighting style imaginable and excels at them all. She is soon trained to be a personal bodyguard of the king.
So when she is sent to infiltrate the city of Azriel, one of the Five Cities of the Valley founded by the Watchmen, she is not expecting to find her place among the Watchmen of the Keep. Taken in by the Watchmen of Azriel, Bree begins to learn who she really is. She soon discovers that Love is real and is beckoning to her with a still, small voice.
Little does Bree know that her companions are in danger. An immortal creature lies in wait for any Keeper of the Flame who would be seduced by her charms, the city’s water source has dried up, and the Watchmen are under constant attack by the Yirtzi—former Watchmen reduced to vengeful spirits, who sold their souls for power only to realize that the enemy of Yahweh does not translate to the friend of mankind.
Not only that, but the Watchmen are fraying. Hostilities come to a head when a Watchman is murdered. Only a Watchman can kill another Watchman, and all eyes shift to Bree.
Bree finds herself faced with a choice. Does she engineer the betrayal of her father’s people, or does she embrace her destiny as a true Watchman of Yahweh and find the killer before it is too late?
This captivating tale is written by the lovely Lee James, a debut author L2L2 Publishing is proud to introduce to our readers.
Lee James writes stories of hope and redemption. Whether she creates fantasy, mystery, or historical fiction, her beautifully awkward characters traverse a dark labyrinth on their journey to a hopeful end. Her work is dedicated to sharing the beauty of Christ, one faith-infused project at a time. A lifelong lover of the written word, Lee started crafting alternate worlds as a child.
Today, she is vehement about the importance of creating and preserving the sanctity of the written word. In that vein, she supports literacy programs and her local libraries. Most importantly, she supports her fellow writers. When not writing, she enjoys photography, watching The Simpsons, and of course, reading.
James lives in Upstate NY and survives the snowy winters by diving deep into fantasy worlds, consuming copious amounts of coffee and chocolate, and pretending she is an authority figure to her two cats. Her one attempt at LARPing ended with three broken toes, so she prefers to do her sword fighting in her imagination.
Keep up-to-date with all of her stories at www.leejameswrites.com. Follow her on Twitter or Instagram @LJamesthewriter or on Facebook @WriterLeeJames.
Welcome, Lee James, to L2L2 Publishing! We cannot wait to share your story with our readers!
Up next: 2020 Production Schedule, 2020 Conference Schedule, and Cover Reveal for Burn: Book Three of the Firebrand Chronicles by J.M. Hackman.

Did you miss out on any of the behind-the-scenes posts on Laura’s blog tour? Below is the full schedule if you’d like to learn more about Keen!
We are loving the incredibly positive responses we’ve received from endorsers, bloggers, and reviewers. We hope you love this book as much as they (and we) do!
All About Keen:
You must walk the darkness to find the light.
Half-faerie Caoine has no control over the banshee lament she sings each night, predicting the death of others. A senior in a brand new high school, she expects the same response she’s received at every other school: judgment from fellow students over her unusual eyes and unnaturally white skin and hair. However, when Caoine arrives at West Lincoln High, for the first time in her life she finds friends. Real friends.
But being a teenager is never easy, especially when the star soccer player, Oliver, sets his sights on her. Allowing him to get close means revealing her curse to the human world. She can’t let that happen. Life spins further out of control when her lament comes out during the day, those whose death she predicts die right in front of her, and a dark faerie known only as the Unseelie prince blames Caoine by leaving her the creepiest notes ever. Her curse is not supposed to work like that.
In a race against time, Caoine must uncover the Unseelie prince’s identity and stop a spell before it unleashes hell on earth, all while trying to control her banshee song and finding a place among her peers.
Senior year just got real.
