MaryLu's Musings - See my new cover and take a survey!

Posted on 00:30 by Unknown
Greetings!  I'm staring a count down to my next release, Elusive Hope, which will be available November 1st!!!!  (See fancy countdown to your right!)  In October on this blog, I'll be hosting a pre-release party every Friday in which I'll be giving away free copies of the book!  So, mark your calender!!   Also if you want to be notified for events like this as well as special giveaways and reduced prices, releases, etc, please sign up for my Email Newsletter. I promise I only send out notes when I have some new information that would be of value to you. (Sign up can be found on the right column if you scroll down)

Exciting Book News!!
Also for fans of my Legacy of the King's Pirates series, I'm currently writing a sequel to that series and expect to have it ready for release by early Spring next year, so be on the lookout for that!  More on that in the months to come. So, don't jump ship yet!!

I received the cover for the third book in my Escape to Paradise series and thought you might like to see it along side the other two. Abandoned Memories doesn't release until next July but these covers are so gorgeous, I could stare at them all day.  Tell me what you think? What mood and emotion does each cover invoke within you?


.

Here's an early review of Elusive Hope from book reviewer Debbie Mitchell:


Romance….adventure….darkness….laughter….intrigue….

Enough words? These all describe Elusive Hope, book 2 in MaryLu Tyndall’s Escape to Paradise series. 
MaryLu has out-done herself with this book. She has shown that she can write stories that not only have you smiling, but stories that awaken ALL of your senses. 
I tried my best to read this book slowly, to savor every morsel. But, it was so hard to slow down. Each chapter ended making me want to read more. I kept waiting for a lull in the story, so that I could have an excuse to stop reading for awhile. But, alas, a lull did not come. The sad part now is that I have to wait for what seems like forever for the third book in the series. Oh, pure torture!

Whether they are trekking through the jungles of Brazil, hanging out in the New Hope colony or exploring old temple ruins, the characters in Elusive Hope will have you experiencing a lot of emotions. I simple love the banter between Magnolia and Hayden. Talk about your odd couple…..a princess and a toad?  Who would have thought? Then there are those characters that you just want to smack. And those that make you cringe at times. So much juicy things going on in this book and so wonderfully written .

 Thank you, Debbie!!

Okay, now I have a small favor to ask of you:
I've put together a little survey that will help me determine what I'll be writing next so I hope you'll take the time to answer the questions in a comment. Thanks so much!!  And have a great weekend!
