At last! EXPLORER ACADEMY VELA BOOK 2: THE UNBREAKABLE BOND has arrived! I'm so excited to, finally, share the conclusion to Sailor's storyline involving Hydrus, the international ring of animal traffickers. Will Sailor rescue her kidnapped sister? Will the explorers find a way to stop the evil Dr. Chenille Sarazin before she deploys her deadly cynosure? Of course, they will. But how? And will there be a price to pay for their daring exploits? So many questions! Not to worry, all will be revealed in this final book in the Vela series.

 

The book is available from your favorite online or retail bookseller. If you order from Brick & Mortar Books this week, you'll also get a FREE Explorer Academy mission card with art from the series and a mission pathway. Four designs available (Cruz, Emmett, Lani, and Sailor). While supplies last. I also signed a few copies of the book for the store, so they may some available on the shelf or to ship.





Also, thanks to everyone who came out this past weekend to meet author Jenna Lee-Yun and me at our book signing at Brick & Mortar Books in Redmond, WA. We had a great time chatting with readers and giving away goodies. Congrats to the two winners of our Grand Prize swag bags filled with all kinds of swag from EXPLORER ACADEMY and THE LAST RHEE WITCH AND THE NINE-TAILED FOX!


Finally, if you couldn't make it to the book launch, I've added two fall events to my NEWS & EVENTS PAGE so be sure to check those out. Hope to see YOU down the road!
