New Cover Reveal for Island of the Forbidden

I just got the cover art for my January release, ISLAND OF THE FORBIDDEN, this weekend and I couldn’t wait to share it with you. This is the much anticipated sequel to SINISTER ENTITY, and like the previous 2 books in the series, it can be read as a standalone story. I have to say, this is the best cover I’ve gotten so far and it perfectly captures the nature of the book. Whaddya think?

Here’s a little tease about the book itself :

Sometimes, the dead are best left in peace.

Three painful years after her terrifying encounter with a doppelganger, Jessica Backman is called to help a strange family living on a haunted island in Charleston Harbor. Ormsby Island was the site of a brutal massacre two decades ago. The mysterious Harper family needs someone to exorcise the ghosts that still call it home.

But something far more insidious is living on the island. Dozens of phantoms walk the halls and roam the surrounding forest. What sort of evil lives and seethes on Ormsby Island? And why was Jessica chosen as the only one who could plumb its dark depths? Reunited with uber-psychic Eddie Home, whose own abilities have been shattered, Jessica must face crimes so taboo, no one will ever be the same.

More to come!

  Thanks Michael. This is not going to be your average ghost/haunting book. I threw in some wickedly strange twists.

    Very cool. I guess the good news about a January release is it gives me time to pick up the previous books in the series. (Even if it doesn’t need it, I’m a sucker for reading in order whenever possible.)
