This has been a busy week with exciting news regarding the Spirit Guide YA paranormal series.

New Release:  We now have an official release date for the third book in the Spirit Guide series.  Legend of Witchtrot Road releases October 4, 2011.

Legend of Witchtrot Road (Spirit Guide #3) by E.J. Stevens

The night of Samhain may be behind them, but Yuki and her friends have only begun to face the challenges of their paranormal gifts. Tensions are rising--in the pack, at school, and within their tightly knit group of friends. 

Surviving agitated ghosts, irritated witches, angry werewolves, and the horrors of high school has never been so hard. 

New Books:  The Spirit Guide series continues!  We have officially begun work on Brush with Death (Spirit Guide #4) and The Pirate Curse (Spirit Guide #5) each with an estimated 2012 release.  A Spirit Guide series supplemental, The Calvin and Yuki Diaries, is also expected to release in 2012.

New Mailings:  To celebrate the upcoming release of Legend of Witchtrot Road, I have sent signed postcards featuring the spooktacular Legend of Witchtrot Road cover art to everyone on my mailing list.  Yes, even international fans received personalized postcards!

Cover Reveal: Legend of Witchtrot Road (Spirit Guide #3)

It's official.  We have a finalized book cover for Legend of Witchtrot Road, the third book in the Spirit Guide series.  Isn't it spookalicious?? 

Surviving agitated ghosts, irritated witches, angry werewolves, and the horrors of high school has never been so hard.

The night of Samhain may be behind them, but Yuki and her friends have only begun to face the challenges of their paranormal gifts. Tensions are rising--in the pack, at school, and within their tightly knit group of friends.

The tragic death of Wakefield High student Dylan Jacobs has emotions boiling over. The J-Team, Yuki's arch nemesis, have turned the entire football team against her. They claim that Yuki is a witch and blame her for the death of their fellow teammate. Will Yuki be able to solve the mystery of Dylan's death, and the legend of Witchtrot Road, before tempers flare and things turn violent?

Emma is the friend that Yuki turns to when things get tough, but she's been behaving strangely. Emma has been acting distant and seems to be coming down with a mysterious illness. What will Yuki and her friends do if their healer is truly sick?

Calvin has become Alpha and wants the best for his pack. He is a dedicated and compassionate leader willing to do anything for the good of his people, but will Cal be able to hold the pack together when a fiery, young werewolf comes seeking revenge?

Simon may still be a roguish playboy, but he is taking his role as Calvin's second in command deadly serious. Will Simon be able to focus on his pack duties when he is forced to face his dark, emotional past?
