Cover art by Hale for “Convergence 3: Cognizance / Convergence” and more…

Well, the writing process for Convergence 3: Cognizance / Convergence is moving along at a reasonable pace. I will probably start posting chapters on WattPad sometime in the not too distant future. However, I have something new to show everyone now: the cover design!

The cover will be graced this time by art done by the same artist who did the character art for the cover of volume 1, Hale author of the wonderful web comic Sundaze. If you haven’t had the chance to read it, I highly suggest giving it a try. There’s even a cameo appearance by Jules in one of the episodes!

Without further ado, here is wonderful art Hale created for the cover:

I personally think she outdid herself! Here it is on the cover. You may notice that there is a slight color theme shift from the first two volumes. That will be explained in the third volume. (It is related to the story…)

Speaking of cameo appearances, Jules is making a guest appearance in another web comic this weekend! In the FINAL EPISODE of my favorite web comic, Always Human, there is a guest appearance by Jules, featuring glowing eyes similar to the cover of volume 3, but wearing the dress from the cover of Convergence 1: Approach / Avoidance. To read the comic, you can follow the link above. If you would like to start at the beginning, you can click here. To go straight to the episode with the cameo of Jules, click here. I strongly recommend reading both of these wonderful web comics!

As a reminder, Fionnbhara Convergence volume 1, Convergence 1: Approach / Avoidance, and volume 2, Convergence 2: Coalesce / Collapse, are both available at Amazon. Follow the links for more information.

Convergence 2: Coalesce / Collapse Available on Amazon!

Convergence 2: Coalesce / Collapse is now available from Amazon in Kindle format and Paperback. (The two versions are not connecting yet, but they will eventually… It took a couple of days last time…)

Here is the blurb from the Amazon site:

Volume 2 of the “Fionnbhara Convergence” series, “Convergence 2: Coalesce / Collapse”, continues the story of the artist and the scientist whose lives are entangled across multiple world-lines, delving deeper the world of the Tuatha Dé Danann. This volume introduces new Fae characters right from the start: Fenne, the third sister in a triad of Tuatha Dé Danann sisters with Áine and Gréine, who is especially adept at sifting through the various alternate possible futures and finding information; and Lugh, the Celtic sun god of lore who she works with to try to figure out what her two injured sisters are trying to accomplish, as well as a way to free them from their self-generated exile.

Along the way, we take a trip back into Jules’ formative years and learn that the connections between her and Owen may be deeper than they thought. In addition, we delve into Owen’s past and learn more about his first wife and how their tumultuous relationship came to be.

(Contains mature themes including drug use and non explicit sexual situations.)

If you haven’t read book 1 yet, it is also available from Amazon:

Volume two goes into much more detail about the Tuatha Dé Danann and how the two sisters ended up inhabiting these two sets of associated world-lines. It also includes a “flashback” section with Jules in her early teenage years as she deals with her obsession over the 9/11 attacks, her insecurities about her newly discovered ‘abilities’, in addition to some family problems.  Helping her cope with these issues is her visiting cousin, who has a host of problems of her own to deal with, including her parents separation and starting high school the next year at a boarding school. However, she is also a bit more than she seems. She has the third of the Tuatha Dé Danann sisters, Fenne, along with her,  in much the same way Áine and Gréine are with Jules, trying to figure out what her two sisters were trying to accomplish by moving from mother to daughter when Jules was so incredibly young. Jules cousin also has a very familiar name… Lilly!

[The WattPad version is now down to just the Preface, Dramatis Personae, and Prologue in accordance with the Kindle Select guidelines for promotional content online.]

Section 20 of Convergence 2 is Live on WattPadd!

You can now read through Section 20 of Convergence 2 on WattPad. Only one more normal section left, then Convergence #2, followed by an Epilogue. Not sure of the schedule yet for publication on Amazon. I’ll try to post well in advance about it though and leave the WattPad version up for at least a month or so once it is complete so people who are reading it can finish.
