Cover Reveal for Missed Fortunes!
Hello, all!
Duck Prints Press posted the cover reveal for Missed Fortunes and has officially announced the pre-order date of Wednesday, February 12th.
Yes, this does mean you’ll be getting extra newsletters this month; please bear with me!
I’m very excited that the second book in the Twinned trilogy will be out soon. We’ve been working hard on the edits, whipping it into shape from the originally posted serialized version.
Also, I love this cover. Jade did such an amazing job on Commit to the Kick and I am incredibly thrilled that she was able to also do the covers for Missed Fortunes and Into the Split. Which, by the way, will be coming end of summer when we do a Kickstarter for the full trilogy (for anyone who hasn’t picked up the first books already!) and merch! Ah, Duck Prints merch. That’s something to look forward to!
From the Duck Prints announcement…
Duck Prints Press is thrilled to share that next Wednesday, February 12th, we’ll be launching our next crowdfunding campaign – and here is the gorgeous cover of the book, Missed Fortunes by Tris Lawrence. This awesome story, the middle volume of the Twinned trilogy, follows the students of fictional Pine Hills University as they navigate the usual challenges of college: exams, sororities and fraternities, people with new magic Talents emerging, roommate relationships, and of course the looming danger of the end of the world! Tris crowdfunded book one, Commit to the Kick, a few years ago, and it’s now available through the Duck Prints Press webpage. We are in the process of editing book three, and expect to do a Kickstarter campaign for it over the summer. But before then – now, it’s time for the middle book!
To solve the problem of now…
Remember what lies behind…
Pass through your hopes and fears…
…to the final outcome.
Carolyn knows the Emergence brought her a new community, but it also revealed the existence of people with magical Talent to the scrutiny of the world. Her high school life ended on a tumultuous note, but now that she’s a junior at Pine Hills University, her life has become stable. She has her twin Kit. She has her sorority sisters. She has her Talent and her Tarot cards.
But when the Tower appears in a reading, the world shatters and changes. Kit has left his predictive Talent behind, and Caroyln’s own predictive Talent is changing decidedly unpredictably. She’s seeing visions of fire and destruction, of Shadows moving in the darkness and intruding into the light. And her sorority sister Drea and Drea’s brother Alaric have returned from winter break, warning of looming dangers and the risk of Clan going to war.
Carolyn shouldn’t get involved—doesn’t want to get involved—but with the world crumbling around her and her predictions hinting at worse to come, she can’t imagine not doing what she can. To make matters worse, the only way forward is to reconcile with her past, but Carolyn isn’t sure how to do that nor why it seems so important to the world that she does.
We’ll be sharing loads more about this book in the days to come, so be on the lookout – follow us on social media or sign-up for our newsletter to make sure you don’t miss your chance to pre-order!
