Hello, friends! Okay, I totally failed to deliver my promise from the last post: an end-of-year newsletter with photos. And there are lots of cool things (like my epic summer road trip that took me as far as Texas!) that would have made it into that post. Hopefully soon I can get that up. It’s still winter, right? That means the Persian New Year, which takes place at the beginning of spring, is almost here, and I can still make that deadline! But that’s not why I’m writing today. My friend Haylie’s new book is coming out!
The big cover reveal event actually took place yesterday, but it’s still pretty fresh, so today’s post will be all about it. If you haven’t read her first published book, scroll back in my posts to March of last year and check it out. It’s awesome! And the sequel is almost here! It officially comes out on April 21, but you get cool stuff if you pre-order it and submit your receipt. Below I’ll have the cover, official book blurb, how to get your own copies, and how to follow Haylie. Read on if you like fun adventurous books!
Callie James crash-lands the World Diver into an alternate dimension. She kind of needed a Seer to help with piloting. Too bad she was busy escaping evil hottie Nate Ormandi to worry about that.
Now she’s stuck on Tremurheim, a mysterious world of tree-vikings and soul-sucking mist monsters.
But somewhere on the planet a Light Core calls to her. Now she just has to find it as part of her quest to unite the multiverse. A quest she’ll complete no matter what stands in her way.
The only local who will help is Toran Rykjiersen, who’s basically a jerk. But he’s also desperate to get his little sister Heike off Tremurheim—even if that means aiding a dangerous “skyfire sorceress” like Callie.
Meanwhile, evil dude Nate must capture the Light Core of the world Ictari. As an undead Shadowmancer, finding Light isn’t his forte, but if he fails, his master will end him the rest of the way. Permanently.
As Luminaut and Shadowmancer race to find the Light Cores, the line between hero and villain blurs.
And the quest that Callie holds dear might lead to the very evil she hopes to prevent.

I’ve known Haylie since our days working at a middle school in Salem. She’s awesome! If you want to know more about her and her books, here’s her author bio with links to find out more/follow her:
Haylie Hanson writes YA fantasy and science fiction about quirky kids with superpowers finding the courage to embrace their destiny. She has an unhealthy obsession with Star Wars, Stranger Things, and Marvel. Haylie used to teach elementary special education before changing careers, and now crafts brand new worlds in between making snacks for her two tiny spawn. She loves to read any kind of YA fantasy, especially books with characters whose voice can reach out and grab her from page one. When Haylie isn’t writing, she can be found drinking very strong coffee, trying not to kill plants, and dreaming of saltwater hair and summertime beaches.
