 Drumroll please ... Montrose Paranormal Academy, Book 2: Crossing Nexis went live yesterday with 50 pre-orders! Can you believe it?! I'm SO EXCITED that Book 2 in the new and improved Montrose Paranormal Academy series is out!! I hope you are too. Everything is happening so fast. One happy launch team member emailed me about her review this morning before I even woke up. Go early risers! If you read the original version of this book when it was simply titled Crossing Nexis, you'll notice a few minor changes.
But other than that, everything else is much is the same as the original version that released in November 2019. I hope this version is just a little more polished. After all, an author always wants to improve their craft. Especially this writer chick! Most importantly, Montrose Paranormal Academy, Book 2: Crossing Nexis is pivotal for setting up the rest of the series ... Whether I end up writing a 4 or 5 book series, only time will tell. Or the number of readers clambering for more! ;) If you're a loyal reader of the old version of this series, I hope you love this updated installment. If you're new to the Montrose Paranormal Academy universe, I hope you love this gripping sequel. Is there anything you love or hate or want to add to the series? Comment below with your thoughts! P.S. I'm working on Book 3 right now. I hope to have it ready for you in October. But sshhh, don't tell. ;)

 Yesterday, I had a call with my writing mentor.
He was SO impressed with the numbers for Book 1 that he advised me to release Book 2 ... AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I was stunned! But the numbers don't lie. Readers are responding to Montrose Paranormal Academy, Book 1 in a big way! All it took was some major updates, a new title, and a new cover ... Plus a brand new marketing strategy. (Which I'm still learning.) Who knew? If you've been a long time Nexis fan, you know that I released the first version of Book 2 back in November as Crossing Nexis. Don't worry, I'll keep that as the book's subtitle. Luckily, I already sent Book 2 to my editor to review the updates I added for this relaunch. The next two weeks will be a little crazy as I update Book 2, design the cover, and put the new book up for pre-order. Unfortunately, that means Book 3 will have to be pushed aside for a week or two. But I hope you'll agree that in the end, it'll all be worth it! Honestly guys, my head is spinning right now. I'm still trying to figure out pre-order and release dates. Right now, I have a TON of work to do to get everything ready in time. My mentor warned me about this. He said if Book 1 was uber successful, then I'd need to release Book 2 right away. I just never thought it'd really happen! Underneath the shock and awe, I'm ecstatic right now. And SO VERY GRATEFUL for all of your support. Over the next few weeks, stay tuned for the Book 2 cover reveal, pre-order announcement and release dates. Who can't wait for the next book? Comment below and tell me all about it. |

Barbara Hartzler is the debut author of The Nexis Secret—the story a girl with a gift to see the unseen world of angels. And the two secret societies vying for The Seer's allegiance. The Nexis Secret is inspired by Barbara’s college experiences and peppered with anecdotes from her teen missions trip to New York City. She’s always wanted to write, not necessarily about angels, but the idea was too good to pass up. As a former barista and graphic designer, she loves all things sparkly and purple and is always jonesing for a good cup of joe. Archives
