Dear reader,
Welcome to the outrageously popular Secret Speakers: Read & Rate It global event--where you get to read and review the novel for *free* before it's even published! (April 2009). Early readers like you are saying they like it as much as Twilight! The audio book is being narrated by Simon Vance, recepient of Booklist's 2008 "Voice of Choice" award.
As a thank you from me, everyone who reads and rates Secret Speakers and the Search for Selador's Gate will have their name at the back of the first edition. Nothing would delight me more than to see your name there. It's turning out to be an amazingly long list! Also, the first 80 people to read and rate are getting a free signed copy from me.
What's the book about? Fair O'Nelli is a normal girl, except for one small fact: She has spent the last nine years of her life living in a cellar with her loyal dog, studying the Scrolls of Truth by mysterious fingerlight, educated by her mother in the dark of night to avoid being discovered. She knows that her father and brother are missing . . . or dead. Fair is set free on the day she comes of age, when it's safe for her to be seen. Little does she know the gods are about to call her to bring a miracle to Cloven Grave. In the company of three guardians, Fair encounters dangers and adventures as she follows the grassy path to find a stranger named Selador at an unknown place called Selador's Gate. Along the way, Fair discovers a deep, dark secret the parents of Cloven Grave know nothing about.
Why the long sign-in form? I work out of my home, and I'm self-publishing Secret Speakers. I want to be able to measure where my audience is and how to notify them when the book is released. Plus, I need to know the addresses of the first 80 people who read and rate
Secret Speakers so I can send them their signed copy! I respect your privacy and will not share your information with anyone. If you feel comfortable sharing your cell phone number, I'll text you when the book comes out. Use your power wisely and well! With gratitude and appreciation, Karey
Secret Speakers and the Search for Selador's Gate hits shelves in print and audio this coming April 2009! ($17.95. Rawle & Windsor Publishing.)
