Following BOUND, book 1, the story continues with Michael Vincent, a minor character at the start, who has spent the last year on the run, convinced he deserves to be alone and tormented by his guilt. His unwitting but devastating actions in book 1 continue to haunt him as he tries to build a new life deep in the Rochfort Mountains, away from his pack. Fate has different plans when he meets his mate, giving Michael a small glimmer of hope for redemption. But as the nightmare and evil of his former life threatens to destroy all hope, can he overcome his guilt, make peace with his pack and rid the evil for good this time?

As with the first in the series, Released is not just wolf fiction, a trope that I don’t usually enjoy. Friendship, love and loyalty feature strongly here, all woven into a suspense thriller that feels far more real than an urban fantasy. The author has a natural gift of pulling you into the story, convincing you that wolves live amongst us in our everyday lives.

I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Elyse Osterhaug, who I am delighted to say has recorded the whole series. Elyse has a beautiful, easy tone that keeps you listening, bringing compelling depth to her storytelling… wonderful.

The Turning Moon series is a must-read and listen for all lovers of urban fantasy, thrilling suspense, and of course, a fabulous wolf romance. If you are new to audiobooks, these are great places to start. Now on to book 3!

Platform House

Becky Wright

We are so pleased to announce the launch of Platform House, the home of Writer’s Services for fellow Independent Authors – both established and those new to the industry. Why not visit our website for a look at what we can do for you.

The Wright Team

Pull up a chair and join us for coffee . . .
We are Platform House. A family business, a partnership in the truest sense of the word. My name is Becky Wright, I am an independently published author. Along with my husband James, we cover all aspects of my production, publishing and promotion.

We know just how daunting it can feel trying to navigate this minefield that is ‘self-publishing’. Our aim is to support the Indie Author community that I am a grateful member of, with our Writer’s Services. Whether you are taking your first steps on the road to self-publishing and need that helping hand with our full service, or require digital and paperback formatting, bespoke cover design, or promotional book images. We can help.

When I started out on my writing career back in the last millennia, there were little opportunities for independent authors. It was the traditional route in finding an agent and in-turn a publisher (if you were one of the lucky ones), or a primitive eBook format, and the rather costly small press option; which brought along with it, dare I say, the stigma of ‘vanity publishing’ and the garage full of books scenario. Please don’t misunderstand, I have known very successful writers who started by such means, but not everyone had the funds to go down such a route.

Luckily, in recent years things have changed; the industry has stretched its boundaries bringing forth many opportunities, opening its arms to the ‘Indie Author’. Hurrah . . . we cry! And none more so than Amazon – worldwide coverage, sales and distribution of your work, your creation, your baby, and all at the touch of a button with Kindle digital download and paperback print on demand. 

But for many, the question is where to start? This is where we come in . . .
Please browse through our Writer’s Services and get in touch.
