Tales from Portents Sale Ends Today!

By

This week has been a whirlwind. The Buffalo Comicon was amazing and I want to thank so many of you for stopping by the table this weekend! I had a great time and I hope you did as well.

I am loving the feedback coming in from A Circle of Shadows. A lot of people enjoyed the incredible finale to this storyline. More importantly, they were sad to see some of their favorites not make it to the finish line. That says more to me about the success of the series than anything and I was glad each moment hit with the right amount of impact for you.

Is it truly the end though? Well, you’ll have to wait and see…

The Tales from Portents sale ends today!

Today marks the end of a crazy month of Greystone promotions. Tales from Portents is such a vital piece of the Greystone series and I hope you’ve taken advantage of it being under a buck for your reading pleasure! The Great Divide and Eyes in the Storm still bring a smile to my face, but each was such a joy to come up with for the collection.

Six tales of monsters, the dead rising, and the terrors of Portents.

The beasts Detective Loren and Soriya Greystone battled in Lou Paduano’s debut book Signs of Portents were just a hint of what lurks in the city. Tales from Portents explores the city’s immersive history, including stories of Loren’s descent after his wife’s death—and his opportunity to have her rise from the grave. Among the pages, Soriya battles gremlins, navigates lessons with Mentor, and meets the werewolf Luchik. Follow new characters with expansive histories as they come face to face with the horrors of Portents—both human and otherwise.

From the Greystone Collection, Tales from Portents navigates the cases that make even Detective Loren lie awake at night.

Portents is a city like no other—and one that Detective Greg Loren can’t wait to escape. Since his wife’s death years earlier, Loren has looked forward to the moment he can leave the city of Portents for good—and never look back.

But fate has another plan for Loren. Called back to duty, Loren finds himself embroiled in a series of murders that has shaken the city. Together with Soriya Greystone, a young woman with unearthly powers, Loren must work quickly to find the otherworldly being that is killing citizens of Portents one at a time. Loren is tasked with deciphering the mysterious signs left at each of the crime scenes…even if it means traveling to worlds not his own to do so.

Fast-paced and thrilling, Signs of Portents will leave you on the edge of your seat and turning page after page.

But wait, there’s more!

Tales from Portents is only $0.99 this week! The follow up/prequel chapter of the Greystone Saga is less than a buck for your reading pleasure.

A farewell to Greystone…for now…

Putting these five books together has been a dream come true. I’ve loved every minute of crafting each tale, of building each story. Even the challenges that came with it, from self-editing to hitting my own crushing deadlines. I’ll be sharing a longer, more in-depth farewell in a couple weeks but didn’t want to miss this opportunity as well.

Every sale, every promo or plug for this series has been to showcase my appreciation for being here through it all.

Soriya, Loren, Ruiz, and the rest are, and always will be, an integral part of my life. I want to share that with you as often – and as easily – as possible.

Thank you again for being here for this launch!
