Still recovering from the battle in the first book, Orion is faced by more challenges: nightmares of a ghost child, a woman he is strangely attracted to, and saving a woman from a crime lord.
Spectral Promises is the second book in the Orion Labauve series.

Orion was raised in a haunted mansion in Louisiana. When he turned 25 he discovered he had extraordinary powers. But there were others who wanted to exploit those powers.

Search for the Signet is the first of the Orion Labauve series.

The difficult part of publishing is not publishing but marketing and promotion. Both the production of books in various formats and the sales and promotion of them have change a lot in the last 20 years and it is keeps changing rapidly. We have to keep shifting channels and methods.

🚨 AUTHORS AND WRITERS 🚨 📚💙

The #1 rule of #booksky is that your self promotional posts may not outnumber your other posts to the feed and almost all of you are in violation of this rule!

I get so many complaints about this - it's ruining the feeds and driving everyone's sales down too.
