Emily's Heart COVER REVEAL!!!

Fans, friends, family, readers and followers of this blog, you looked at potential cover photos and gave me your feedback. Once the photo was chosen, you looked at potential cover art and told me what you liked and didn't like. Thank you all so much and I'm happy to say that the COVER IS HERE - AT LAST!!

Please meet the cover for Emily's Heart, the third and final book in the Akasha Chronicles trilogy:


This cover, like the one for Emily's Trial, is a beautiful collaboration between four amazing women artists. First, the lovely Ashley Phillips modeled for the amazing photographer Teresa Yeh. (Click this link for a behind the scenes look at the photo shoot.) Then the incomparable Claudia McKinney works her artistic magic on the photo to go from this -

Last, cover-creator extraordinaire Cheryl Perez finesses the art to create covers for digital and print. And voila, we get this:


Phew, a lot of work! I am so blessed to have this team of creatives create the covers for this series. I'm happy to be near the end of this project that I've been working on for over five years! And I'm looking forward to getting back into the Roswell conspiracy and the Arizona setting of my next series, H.A.L.F. But I'm a bit sad that Ashley won't be on the next cover!!

COVER REVEAL! Emily's Trial

Print Cover for Emily's Trial, Book 2 of the Akasha Chronicles by Natalie Wright

It has felt like a long wait! But as they say, good things come to those who wait. Here it is - cover reveal for Emily's Trial!

One step closer to final product. Some last editing, then uploading for readers!!


I'm looking forward to getting this one into your hands. The feel of this book is different, I think, from the first one. In Emily's Trial, though the book is still squarely in the fantasy genre, it focuses more on the characters and their relationships. Yes, there are action scenes - plenty of dagger wielding and sword fighting. You'll meet a nasty new adversary named Ciardha. He makes Dughall look like a choir boy. And I build on the mythology that I began in Emily's House (Book 1).


But relationships are the focus of Emily's Trial, and Emily's relationships are tested here.

Stay tuned and check back often for updates about release as well as giveaways, blog tour stops and other fun stuff. And if you haven't read Emily's House yet, now is a great time to read it so you're caught up on Emily's world before you read Emily's Trial. I've just uploaded a newly revised edition of Emily's House AND gave it a price reduction to 99 cents AND have put it in the Kindle lending library for Amazon Prime members.

And as always, thank you dear readers for your support - and for reading! I have the best fans in the world and you are the ones that keep me energized and writing.

Cheers!
