The Unmoving Sky Returns!

With a NEW COVER! 

 

It was a heavy blow when my publisher closed in 2019, two years after the print edition of The Unmoving Sky was released into the world. All the momentum was thwarted when people couldn't order my book. I had to loan out my copies. Haha. 

So, I'm happy to report those who wanted to read the story of two young brothers coming to terms with their father's pain and their own can once again! I'm not sure if I'll have copies of print available. I'll have to wait and see. 

The link in my title will take you there. And HERE. Barnes and Noble + iBooks + Kobo & Various other online retailers and LIBRARIES  Overdrive, Hoopla, and Bibliotheca ~ are coming very soon and you'll be able to read my book for FREE!    

Free. 

Free 

Free.    I LOVE the Public Library.   

All the Hearts. 

And thanks to the good people at Draft2Digital for helping to make it so easy to take control of my story once again.

"Paperback Writer ..."   the song that's been ringing in my ears.

I go a little cross-eyed when holding my books! They're real.

Just something I made on Canva today, playing around. I paid $1.00 for this image. Not a bad deal. It's a great tool for promotion. I've only just begun, but I think I'm going to enjoy myself too much with the images and possibilities of creation.  Here's a link to Canva.

Do you have other go-to sites for designing your promotions?  Let me know. I'm gathering resources.  Thanks!

The Unmoving Sky is loose in this glorious world! 

There is nothing darker than the woods until you meet your worst fear.

Seventeen-year-old, Jackson Bower has a lot on his mind lately. His younger brother hasn’t been the same since his mother’s death. His father’s drinking is out of control. Then there’s Jackson’s girlfriend and the grief that ties them together even as it threatens to drive them apart.

He distances himself, hoping for a little perspective at the family lodge. But when their father gets drunk and dangerous, he and his brother escape into the woods.

Night creeps in, and the rains come fast. Artie slips down a ravine. He’s wounded and the brothers seek shelter in a cave, only to find someone else already taking refuge there.

A desperate man with plans to destroy their town.

Jackson must get him and his wounded brother out of the cave and over the mountain to warn everyone in time. Without getting them both killed first.

 ... And it can be yours to read.   $1.99   Novella.

Last Week's Blog Interviews for The Unmoving Sky

Last week over on Resch Reads, I answered a few questions about my Thriller,
THE UNMOVING SKY. If you'd like to read the rest of the interview click on over.

Did you edit anything out of The Unmoving Sky that you wished would have made it to print?

It wasn’t edited out, but I would have liked to bring Jackson’s girlfriend, Brianna’s thoughts and history into The Unmoving Sky, and really dig into her experience. Maybe one day? I wrote out some of her POV in drafts, to really see where she was coming from.

And over on Girls *heart* Books, you can have a peek at my writing studio. 

A corner of a dark basement that transforms into a Swing Era Jazz Club.  If you're wondering, yes, I've written a YA, Swing Era whodunnit.  I cannot wait to dive back into that ms.

You can add The Unmoving Sky on Goodreads  or Smashwords. 

Watch the book trailer.

Title: The Unmoving Sky

Author: K.L. Hallam

Genre: Young Adult, Thriller

Publisher: Leap Books, Shine

Release Date: May 16, 2016

I love my book trailer. The first, and second time I watched I cried. My editor, Judith Graves helped in creating the trailer. Actually, she did most of the creating, and my dear friend, guitarist, Bruce Edwards of Dark Tone Music infused his musical magic. He's amazing if you ever need commercial tunes!
