Without
further adieu.... drum roll please (insert imaginary drum roll):
Here is the official cover for
Heartbound by B.T. Lyons!
Blurb: It's a new year, a new batch of
Tenderfeet, and a new Heart Chase... but it is not the joyous occasion it has
been for generations.
Shan,
a Tenderfoot from devastated Sunperch Village, wants nothing to do with Hearts,
the Heart Chase, or the Trials. All he wants is for the surviving
children of his home to be safe... and he's willing to do anything to protect
them.
Cill,
now the youngest Heartsworn ever chosen by the People, is thrust headlong into
a side of his People's culture that is changing daily, where the answers to
life's challenges are never easy and what is “right” is not as obvious as it
once seemed.
New
alliances will be forged, an entire way of living will be questioned, and the
mystery of the Hearts and the Guardians deepens in Heartbound, Book
Two of the Heartkeeper Saga.
Interesting Facts:
One thing that makes
this cover extremely exciting is that the artwork was created by the author
herself! (To see more of her art, check out her art page on her website.)
About the author:
B.T. Lyons was born in
1973, growing up in Boylston, Massachusetts, and lived her early life
working on the family goat farm and learning wilderness survival
skills in the surrounding woodlands. She is a jack-of-all-trades,
having worked as everything from a zookeeper to bookstore manager, to
a horror theme park actress, to a radio personality, to
a builder of utility trucks. In a current fit of
happy mid-life crisis, she is a history major at South Dakota
State University in Brookings, SD.
She shares her home
with her husband and her thirteen-year-old daughter, as well as
a rat terrier, a Pomeranian, a ball python, and a rotating guest
list of foster animals from the local humane society. B.T. is a
rabid video game addict, and also enjoys drawing and creating various Neolithic-style
handcrafts as her other hobbies. Her role models include Jim
Henson, Jackie Chan, Hiyao Miyazaki, and Bill Cosby, and she is
inspired by authors such as Richard Adams, Tad Williams, and Ray
Bradbury.
