Marketing 101

Ah, yes, the glamorous life on an author. It's not all writing, revising, and endless plotting sessions. It's also wracking your brain trying to figure out how to describe that novel in 100 words or less that you can fit on the back of a postcard.


THE SEA CHANGE
By Patricia Bray

The key to survival is knowing who you are….

When the imperial family is assassinated, few are pleased at the transformation of Prince Lucius from condemned prisoner to Emperor of Ikaria. As he fights to secure his throne he also wages a deadly battle within himself—as the two souls trapped in his body vie for supremacy. Meanwhile, his nemesis Lady Ysobel has returned home in disgrace, where her former allies seek to rid themselves of her. When war is declared, she is sent on a mission meant to ensure her death—now she must fight not just for survival, but to shape the future of both countries.

Me too! (But I guess I'd better read the first one first...)

I like it.

Is it a sequel to something else that's already out?

Thanks! It's a sequel to THE FIRST BETRAYAL which was released last year, but hopefully will also work as a standalone book.
