As we conclude our blog series of Liz and Ryland’s letters to each other, we want to point you to Amy Brock McNew’s website, AmyBrockMcNew.com. For a limited time, she is offering her surprise as well as a giveaway for those who sign up for the launch of her newsletter.

Her Realm Warriors.

Don’t miss updates on Rebirth, the rest of the Reluctant Warrior Chronicles, and the launch parties soon to take place.

We hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know Liz and Ryland, and we are so glad you chose to join us!

Here it is. The final letter from Ryland. (If you missed yesterday’s post, read it here.)

Lizzy,

You’re good. I’ll give you that.

It’s been two months now since you left and I’m no closer to having you back in my arms. No closer to having answers. I’ve come so close to you so many times, but every time you blow town before I can get a hold on you, barely leaving a trace that you’ve been there. Either you know somehow or you’re guessing that I’m on your trail, or you’re just trying to stay ahead of anyone who might be looking for you. Knowing you, I’m gonna say it’s a little of both.

Well, I guess it’s a good thing I can work from anywhere, because I have a feeling this could go on for a while longer than it already has. Least I won’t be hurting for money. But that’s actually not at the top of the list of my worries about now.

These places I’m finding out you’re staying, working. Liz, what are you thinking? It’s like you’re deliberately putting yourself in danger, tempting fate…

Just a few letters left! In this, the fourth letter between Liz Brantley and Ryland Vaughn, readers get an in-depth look into why Liz chooses to run. What drives her.

And it’s leading us seamlessly into Rebirth. (If you missed yesterday’s post, read it here.)

We hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know Liz and Ryland. We cannot wait until the first book of the Reluctant Warrior Chronicles is in your hands.

And tomorrow, we just may have more news about Amy Brock McNew’s surprise.

“Run Baby Run”

Ryland,

Sometimes, you can have a freaking awesome idea. Something that you think will solve all your problems, make life so much easier. This whole me leaving thing? Yeah, not my brightest decision. I admit it. Things have NOT gotten better. If anything, they’re worse. I’m staying in this nasty motel, because even though I make good tips at the restaurant I work at, it’s not enough to get a place of my own. Maybe I shoulda thought of that before I left with hardly any money.

Being low on cash is the least of my worries right now, though. In the past couple weeks, I’ve been jumped four times by demons. So I started practicing some more fighting moves like the ones you taught me, pulling videos up online since I can’t afford to go to a class. It’s weird, I’m even stronger than I was when I mentioned it in my last letter. I’ve been holding my own. No major injuries. But I don’t know why or how…

As we continue Amy Brock McNew’s prequel series, we would like to draw your attention to a behind-the-scene tidbit featured here. These letters (this one especially) are leading to a surprise Amy Brock McNew has planned for her readers. (If you missed yesterday’s post, read it here.)

Follow the trail of letters to find out what it is. Do you have a guess?

Today’s letter, 3 of 5, is from Ryland to Liz. She is on the run, scared, and has no idea who to trust. Can Ryland help her?

“Oath”

Lizzy,

Okay, I’ve had a lot of time to think over the past couple weeks and I’ve come to a few conclusions. First off, I think I’ll keep up with this writing thing. It actually did help to get this crap out of my system a little bit. Who knows? Maybe someday you’ll actually read it. I can only hope.

Anyway, I’ve realized something pretty important that I should’ve known right away, I was just too ticked off to see it. The last time I wrote you, I said I doubted your love. I knew as soon as I wrote it that it wasn’t true. I know you love me. I’ve felt it, I’ve seen it. Realizing that and knowing you like I do, I’m pretty sure I know at least part of the reason you left. You think you’re protecting me from something. Saving me. Well here’s the thing, baby girl: I don’t need protecting…

Today we are featuring the next of Amy Brock McNew’s “Hearts on the Page” prequel series. All are letters written between Liz Brantley and Ryland Vaughn before the Reluctant Warrior Chronicles begin. (If you missed yesterday’s post, see it here.)

Liz and Ryland’s backstory is both captivating and heartbreaking, and the perfect way to get to know these characters before Rebirth releases May 24, 2016.

Liz pens this second letter, knowing Ryland will never read it.

“My Heart is Broken”

Ryland,

I’m sitting here at some hole-in-the-wall joint in a town I don’t even know the name of, writing a letter I know I’m never gonna send. How’s that for pointless? Maybe it’ll make me feel better though. Doubtful. Life royally sucks about now. Yeah, maybe it’s partly my fault, but not all. I for sure didn’t give myself this freaking curse! But I am going to get rid of it. No matter what I have to do.

It’s like seven in the evening, and by now you know I’m gone. You probably flipped out and gathered a posse or something to look for me…

This week we are featuring five letters between Liz Brantley and Ryland Vaughn, all set before Rebirth.

If you want to delve into the psyche of these characters and fall in love with them like we did, we encourage you to get to know the stars of The Reluctant Warrior Chronicles.

The first letter is from Ryland.

“Broken”

Lizzy,

You’ll probably never see this. I don’t normally like to write. It’s not like I keep a journal or anything, that’s your deal. At least, I think it is. I thought I knew everything about you. But I’m learning real fast that I don’t. Anyway, I just needed a way to get some of this crap out of my system. Some way to feel like I’m saying what I need to say, even though I have no idea if I’ll ever even see you again.

When I got the call from your parents this morning and they said you were gone, I panicked. I didn’t want to believe them when they said you’d taken your stuff. That’d mean you left me. Without telling me why. Without me getting to hold you and kiss you one more time. Without even saying goodbye. I tore up this county looking for you…
