Welcome to From the Pen of Mae Clair…a virtual extension of Hershey, Pennsylvania
Are you ready to celebrate? To have some fun along with multiple chances to pick up goodies and prizes, not to mention a great selection of books?
Join me, and a host of other talented authors for (drum roll, please):
This is a club-wide event, with blog stops happening each day through August 31
No, I’m not giving away chocolate—although there is plenty of the virtual variety about, so help yourself (I’m kind of partial to the Hershey’s Extra Dark myself :D)
MY GIVEAWAY:
One lucky winner will receive a $15 gift card to Amazon or B&N
(winner’s choice)
All you have to do to be eligible to win is leave a comment on my blog with your email address (so I know where to find you). RRBC will randomly select a winner from the comments, so everyone has an opportunity to win.
While you’re here, I hope you will consider purchasing my most recent release, A THOUSAND YESTERYEARS, a mystery/suspense novel. New York Times bestselling author, Kevin O’Brien, called this book “Masterful bone-chilling fiction…one intense thriller.” Why not check it out for yourself?
My publisher currently has the book on sale for .99 cent through September 4
This is the perfect time to snatch up your copy!
A THOUSAND YESTERYEARS is the first novel in my Point Pleasant Series, but the story is complete (no cliff-hanger endings with the need to read further for closure). A blend of fact, fiction and creepy urban folklore, the novel plays off the legend of the Mothman and the true-life tragedy of the Silver Bridge collapse, a catastrophe that decimated the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
You’ll discover the” TNT,” an abandoned WWII munitions site, now part of a wildlife management area. Densely forested with steep hills, wetlands, ponds and tunnels, it’s a virtual labyrinth of secluded hiding places idea for a terrifying creature—or killer—to hide. The characters are everyday people facing extraordinary circumstances, including secrets, betrayal and murder.
I hope the blurb will entice you:
Behind a legend lies the truth…
As a child, Eve Parrish lost her father and her best friend, Maggie Flynn, in a tragic bridge collapse. Fifteen years later, she returns to Point Pleasant to settle her deceased aunt’s estate. Though much has changed about the once thriving river community, the ghost of tragedy still weighs heavily on the town, as do rumors and sightings of the Mothman, a local legend. When Eve uncovers startling information about her aunt’s death, that legend is in danger of becoming all too real…
Caden Flynn is one of the few lucky survivors of the bridge collapse, but blames himself for coercing his younger sister out that night. He’s carried that guilt for fifteen years, unaware of darker currents haunting the town. It isn’t long before Eve’s arrival unravels an old secret—one that places her and Caden in the crosshairs of a deadly killer…
You can purchase your .99 cent ebook copy from:

That’s wonderful news, Bruce, and late is fine (although I’m late in replying to this). I love mysteries and thrillers (reading and writing) and hope you enjoy the twist I put on the Mothman legend!

Thanks for inviting us to your blog Mae. I will add your books to my TBR list and download one today! I tried to leave a comment yesterday, but the wifi was having a party of its own! You may have two comments from me. Enjoy the party:)

Hi, Lizzie. Lovely to see you here! Thanks for visiting my blog stop on the party and many thanks for downloading A THOUSAND YESTERYEARS. Oddly enough I had some sporadic wifi issues yesterday too. Fortunately, everything has settled down today. Hope yours has too!

Hi Mae. I love books that are based on fact, or have actual people or events woven into the story. I’ve never heard of the Mothman before, but I am also a huge fan of urban legends. Now, I absolutely must read your book. 😀

Hi, Rhani! I love urban legends, myth and folklore, and am always poking around for info on more. There was actually a bestselling (non-fiction) book about the Mothman by John Keel, which was later made into a movie starring Richard Gere…called the Mothman Prophecies. A lot of bizarre stuff went on in Point Pleasant with over 1oo sightings. I share a lot of legend and background in the book (I took two trips to the actual area while doing research on this novel and the others that follow. I could talk about the Mothman for hours but won’t bore you, LOL. I will however send out a huge thanks for your interest in the book. I hope you enjoy the story!
