Hello! I have a book coming out, here's some information on it!
LYKOS, By J. N. Ledford
Publishing under Salem's Pine Publishing LLC
A contemporary fantasy werewolf romance, LYKOS is set primarily in my hometown located in the Blue Ridge/Smoky Mountains of the Appalachian range. There is slow burn romance, there is a werewolf being hunted, there are reckless decisions, and there is an innate love for the nature of my home!
I came up with this story years ago, and it has evolved so many times since then to reach this final version. Seeing it go from just a Wattpad story I was going to post a few chapters of, to a full blown book I have sat down to publish has been so fun.
We're nearing the end now, though life and costs of house work is pushing the deadline of the book back from it's original May 4th publication; expecting the book to be finalized and published now in June if the world is a little merciful.
Still, I am sinking my claws into this story and the characters and this year you'll all get to meet them. And here's another fun fact, there will be a second book set in this world following a secondary character I am sure you will all love as well.
So get ready to meet our resident Lycanthrope, Fae "Lykos" Holloway, and the human whose life she literally crashes into, Khalid Hawkins.
The book will be available in paperback, hardback, and as an eBook through the companies Ingramspark and Amazon once they publish.
I would also, as always, love to shout out the cover artist @norapotwora for her stunning work on both the art and lettering. It's amazing seeing such a rough concept brought to life. I cannot wait for the chance to work with her again in the future.
My ask box is open, so if you have any questions feel free to send them in at @jnledford - I'll answer what I can without spoiling too much!
