I’m delighted to welcome my friend, Marcia Meara, today with the cover reveal of her upcoming novella, The Emissary 2: To Love Someday. I’ve read the first in this wonderful series and highly recommend it. Marcia created memorable characters that touched my heart and I can’t wait to see what, Jake, Dodger, and the angel, Azrael, are up to this time around. Check out this gorgeous cover!
COMING SOON!
They’re back!
Jake and Dodger are at it again,
accompanied by their boss, the archangel Azrael.
I am so excited, I can hardly stand it. Once again, Nicki Forde Graphics Design has come up with a cover that does exactly what I wanted it to do. It provides a great-looking image that clearly links the second novella in my Emissary series with the first one. And it does this by putting Jake’s big, red-and-white semi front and center, angel wings and all, but with a completely different background.
In The Emissary 2: To Love Somebody, Jake and Dodger travel both coasts of Florida, day and night, working their emissarial magic wherever they find souls in trouble. For me, the palm fronds over the truck, the ocean in the background, and the moon shining down are perfect.
I can’t give you an exact release date for The Emissary 2: To Love Sombody yet, as I still have a few more tiny odds and ends to finish up, including the blurb. But I’m 99.9% sure it will be available within a week or two, and I’ll have more to share with you then. In the meantime, what do you think?
My heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful bloggers who have helped me share my new cover with the Immediate World! It’s lovely to be part of such a supportive online community, and every single one of you is special to me. Thank you!
NOTE: This is not a stand-alone novella, so now’s a good time to grab the first one. You can read it in an evening and be all set for The Emissary 2. You’ll find The Emissary 1 on Amazon HERE.
Author Marcia Meara
Marcia Meara lives in central Florida, just north of Orlando, with her husband of over thirty years, four big cats, and two small dachshunds. When not writing or blogging, she spends her time gardening, and enjoying the surprising amount of wildlife that manages to make a home in her suburban yard. At the age of five, Marcia declared she wanted to be an author, and is ecstatic that at age 69, she finally began pursuing that dream. Her belief in the redemptive power of love is a unifying factor in both of her popular series and her poetry. Today, sheβs still going strong, and plans to keep on writing until she falls face down on the keyboard, which she figures would be a pretty good way to go!
Marcia has published six novels, one novella, and one book of poetry to date, all of which are available on Amazon:
Wake-Robin Ridge
A Boy Named Rabbit: Wake-Robin Ridge Book 2
Harbinger: Wake-Robin Ridge Book 3
Swamp Ghosts: A Riverbend Novel
Finding Hunter: Riverbend Book 2
That Darkest Place: Riverbend Book 3
The Emissary: A Riverbend Spinoff Novella
Summer Magic: Poems of Life & Love

I dig the big rig (heehee) on the cover. And I have to say, Dodger is a cool character name.

Glad the big rig makes you smile, Priscilla. It’s on The Emissary 1, too, as that’s the way Jake travels the roads. π It will be on #3, as well, so you can smile two more times, yet. π Happy to hear you like the name Dodger. He’s quite a character, for sure. Hope you’ll enjoy these books if you get a chance to check them out. (Mae tells me the first one was a hit with her, so I’m pretty happy!)

Thanks, Chuck! Glad you like it. That big ol’ red and white semi has seen a lot of, shall we say, interesting events lately. From a good-hearted man who gave up his life to save a stranger, to a ginormous, white-winged archangel who hasn’t yet figured out the use of contractions, to a troubled boy on the streets of Atlanta who wants to be part of something bigger than he is–and gets his wish. I hope you’ll enjoy the stories, if you get a chance to read them. They sure were fun to write. π

Thank you so much, Mae, for having me here today to share the cover of my latest book. You already know how much I loved writing The Emissary and you’ll be glad to know, I enjoyed writing To Love Somebody just as much. Possibly even more. It’s always lovely to have a good time while you are working, isn’t it? π
I hope you’ll enjoy To Love Somebody as much as you did the first one. (I’m still smiling about your fantastic review of that!) Can’t wait to hear what you think! And so lovely to be here on your blog today. Thank you for your generous support and friendship, as I work my way through my first small attempts at a book launch. (Doing it in person is much easier for me, but I promise, I’ll figure it out and be better by the next one.) In the meantime, may I say, “You ROCK!” β€

Ha! A cheer? I love it, thanks! π Thanks, Craig. I’m finally (after 6 novels, 2 novellas, and a book of poetry) learning what a book launch is all about. I’m great at local, face to face stuff, but this online launch is a whole ‘nuther kettle of fish! But I’m learning, and I’ll get it down pat before my next novel releases. Probably. π

So nice to know you’re looking forward to it, Teagan. It was another fun one to write, though I discovered writing the middle book of a trilogy can be tricky. Making that bridge between the first and the last books while keeping the book entertaining in its own right is harder than I had realized. Hopefully, it works! π Fingers crossed! β€
