Are you ready for it? You may have already seen it, as I'm a little late getting it out, but here is Pippa Jay's fabulous new cover for Gethyon!
Blurb:
Abandoned. Hunted. Out of control.
Gethyon Rees had always felt at
odds with the universe, and hoped for an escape among the stars. But
discovering he has the ability to cross time and space with just a thought
brings more problems than it solves: a deadly bounty hunter who can follow him
anywhere, the unwelcome return of Tarquin Secker—the mother who abandoned
him—and an ancient darkness that seeks him and all those with his talents.
When an unforgivable act sets him
on the run, it’ll take more than his unearthly powers to save his skin and the
lives of those he cares about. It’ll take a sacrifice he never expected to have
to make.
A science fiction adventure novel
previously published by BURST (Champagne Books), and part of the Travellers
Universe. A 2014 SFR Galaxy Award Winner for Most Awesome Psychic Talent
and a 2015 EPIC eBook Awards finalist in the Science Fiction category. Also now
includes the SF short story The Bones of the Sea.
“With colorful worlds full of
nuance and dimension, characters that walk off the page, and themes that anyone
who has been either parent or child can relate to.” J.C. Cassels, author
of The Black Wing Chronicles series
“This fast-paced, gripping ride
zips through time and space, love and loss, rebellion and acceptance.” Anna
McLain, SFR Galaxy Award judge
Excerpt (I LOVE this excerpt!):
Gethyon stumbled and fell. Light
burst across his vision, a violent assault of color, and he threw up an arm to
defend himself. Something brushed against him, spun him, and then another
bruising impact sent him backward.
“Watch where you’re going,”
someone scolded.
Gethyon dropped his arm and
squinted, fighting to keep his balance. People flowed around him, but the man
who’d spoken was already moving away, a reproving frown on his face.
Soft sunlight gleamed from smooth
marble, a blend of gray, green, and white beneath his feet. Humans bustled in
different directions, each intent on their own concerns, with only the odd,
inquisitive glance thrown his way as he stood, alone and bewildered, in their
midst. He faced a distant horizon framed by the jagged spires of mountains. To
either side of where he stood, the mountains ran in tooth-like bronze spines.
The plaza seemed to be a main pedestrian thoroughfare in the middle of a wide
valley. He stared. Where was he?
“Hey!"
Gethyon dragged his head around
toward the speaker, forcing his eyes to focus. Buildings in the same pastel
marble filled the valley ahead. Cold shock drenched him at the sight of two
uniformed men between him and the nearest edifice, one warden aiming a finger
straight at him.
“Hey, no unauthorized
teleportation in the plaza!”
Gethyon turned and ran. Shouts
from behind told him pursuit followed. He dodged between the idling crowds,
staggering as his legs quivered.
What happened?
He’d done it again—sent himself
elsewhere—but how? And why could he do it? What was he?

characters, she spends the odd free moment playing guitar very badly, punishing
herself with freestyle street dance, and studying the Dark Side of the Force.
Although happily settled in the historical town of Colchester in the UK with
her husband of 22 years and three little monsters, she continues to roam the
rest of the Universe in her head.
