Celebrating a New Year is the Time to Look Ahead, Not Backwards

I have spoken of Penn Scripter before and here is where I reveal all!

To answer the question, WHO IS PENN SCRIPTER?

The short of it is simply Penn Scripter is the mother-daughter writing team of unexpected paranormal romance.

That's me on the right and my mom on the left. 

Carol McKibben is an animal rescuer and momma to several breeds of dogs including Huskies, Labrador Retrievers, and a German Short-Haired Pointer. She's also one half of Penn Scripter, the mother/daughter writing team of Carol & Stephanie McKibben. Each bring their own flavor to the paranormal stories they write together. With their combined powers limitless possibilities abound! While both love paranormal, Stephanie brings romance, and Carol brings the unexpected. Sound like your kind of read?

1. Penn Scripter is a mother/daughter team writing unexpected paranormal romance.

3. Expect the unexpected in every story Penn Scripter writes.
4. Penn Scripter is the pseudonym for the combined efforts of two writers that love paranormal.

Our debut is going to be The Demon of Reginhart that will be released Winter 2020. We have not set a date as of yet, but it will be in early December. Hence, why I'm teasing it now!

Speaking of... here is a book trailer for The Demon of Reginhart​! 

After years of relentless battle, a pact between an unyielding mage and the demon that would possess him created Marcus, a personality with his own mind and body who encases them all.

But the demon within is not willing to curb its blood lust. After Marcus attempts to restrain the demon and fails, an army is sent to destroy Marcus. Upon their meeting, the king of Benicar presses Marcus for a truce and convinces him to serve under his banner in a war between nations.

Dispatched to another town Marcus finds Platt, a beautiful farm girl with a mysterious gift he believes could bring true peace between the mage and the demon inside of him. But soon after he settles in the town of Reginhart his neat and tidy world becomes unraveled.

This excerpt is the first look of The Demon of Reginhart only for those truly interested! See you on the other side!

Happy Reading!

Supernatural hybrids. The wrath of the Devil. Can three chosen by God win the war against darkness?
 
Reign knows he was never supposed to exist. The impossible fusion of a vampire and a spirit wolf, the powerful shifter’s life is a divine miracle. But when the city of Florence is robbed of its memories, Reign stands between the innocent Italians and a hellish demise.
 
Teaming up with his bonded packmate and a young wizard, Reign storms the Tuscan capital to bring down the possessed mob leader. And with the Heavenly battle raging against Satanic gangsters, the God-chosen crossbreed must risk his own inconceivable life to annihilate the forces of evil.  

The above blurb is for Carol McKibben's latest novel REIGN: The Assault of Lucifer Morningstar. And as usual, her fans got to choose the cover of the latest spin-off series titled The Silver Blood Knight. 

​Those in the know stood up and were counted! They voted! And your votes mattered! Because the cover YOU chose was not the in-house #1 favorite. In fact, we thought the subtly of the winner might be lost in translation. But it wasn't and now, we have a cover!

If you didn't get a chance to vote you can get on Carol McKibben's V.I.R. (Very Important Reader) list and be the first to know about exciting events like this!

She's a nice lady and you'll get weekly freebies while you're on this list!
Carol takes good care of her fans. 
Which means, she won't sell your email or name to anyone.

Here is a fan-made 40 second snippet of REIGN: The Assault of Lucifer Morningstar ​that I made in honor of the new release! 

Sometimes, things go wrong. Very wrong. So wrong that you have to discard the original. Carol's tried and true fans are going to look at this cover reveal and say... hey wait a minute, that's not quite the cover I voted for!

They'd be right. 

See, after the voting commenced, the winner was awarded the prize, contracts were signed, money paid and files downloaded, we had a gorgeous cover!

The male model on the cover was almost perfect! The design itself was amazing. It was unusual. It was the new look and feel of the latest series.

Then 99Designs came back and said... 

Hold up! We have a problem. 

See, our designer used a photo of a person in which the fine print stated that human models had to be unrecognizable if they were to be used for commercial purposes. Umm... I guess the consensus at 99Designs was of the mind that the model was too recognizable.

Whoops! Whoopsie!

But we'd seen what this designer could do. Andrei Bat is amazing. He made the cover better than ever! 

Let's get this show on the road! I present to you the video that unveils the winning cover! With the modifications, of course! Just click play and watch the 12 second reveal!

So clean.

So sharp.

So very awesome! 

​Thank you all who voted and participated in our poll! You chose an amazing cover!
