Ylva Publishing is happy and proud to announce that Lois Cloarec Hart has joined our team. Lois is the author of Coming Home, Broken Faith, and Kicker’s Journey. Kicker’s Journey won several awards, including the “IPPY” Bronze Medal of the 2010 Independent Publisher Book Awards and a Golden Crown Literary Award for best historical fiction in 2010.
Ylva Publishing will republish all of the above-mentioned books over the course of the next twelve months. We will make them available not only as paperbacks, but also—for the first time—as e-books.
Lois’ first book with Ylva Publishing will be a previously unpublished book. Walking the Labyrinth will come out in late summer 2013. Here is the blurb:
Is there life after loss? Lee Glenn, co-owner of a private security company, didn’t think so. Crushed by grief after the death of her wife, she uncharacteristically retreats from life. But love doesn’t give up easily. After her friends and family stage a dramatic intervention, Lee rejoins the world of the living, resolved to regain some sense of normalcy but only half-believing that it’s possible. Her old friend and business partner convinces her to take on what appears on the surface to be a minor personal protection detail. The assignment takes her far from home, from the darkness of her loss to the dawning of a life reborn. Along the way, Lee encounters people unlike any she’s ever met before: Wrong-Way Wally, a small-town oracle shunned by the locals for his off-putting speech and mannerisms; and Wally’s best friend, Gaëlle, a woman who not only translates the oracle’s uncanny predictions, but who also appears to have a deep personal connection to life beyond life. Lee is shocked to find herself fascinated by Gaëlle, despite dismissing the woman’s exotic beliefs as “hooey.” But opening yourself to love also means opening yourself to the possibility of pain. Will Lee have the courage to follow that path, a path that once led to the greatest agony she’d ever experienced? Or will she run back to the cold comfort of a safer solitary life?
We will enjoy providing a new home for Lois’ books and look forward to a long and productive time together.
It’s great to have her on board. Welcome, Lois.
