Shapechanger Tales

Super Olympian Available now

Laer Carroll — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:25:22 +0000

Two ebooks and one “eshort” are now up on Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

The ebook of The Super Olympian includes the online sample of Sasha Canaro’s tale and continues her story from where she dealt with the terrorists at the Olympics.

She becomes a fashion model, not that much a stretch considering how often athletes become endorsement targets for advertisers, especially the more attractive and charismatic. And considering that shapechangers can become as beautiful or terrifying as they wish. She edges ever more into becoming a crime fighter.

Then she meets the mysterious billionaire Anna Prince. Who has an offer she can’t refuse….

And of course still available are…

ShapeTales origin story on Kindle & Nook

Laer Carroll — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:27:38 +0000

The origin story for the Tales series can be downloaded now from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It is The Demon in the Forest, a version of the same story posted on this site.

The ghost/demon on the cover is a photo of the Antarctica summer cloud cover taken by the Galileo spacecraft in 1990. Rights assigned to the public by NASA.

The forest photo was taken by me in Ballyvaughan, Ireland, on the south coast of Galway Bay – where Mary McCarthy woke from the dead a shapechanger.

I’ll upload The Super Olympian to Amazon and Barnes & Noble soon.

The background is from a photo I took in Galway, Ireland, when I went there recently. Behind Sasha is Galway Bay, and on the other side is Ballyvaughan, where Mary McCarthy woke from her grave a shapechanger.

Shapechanger’s Birth available now!

Laer Carroll — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 06:28:20 +0000

The complete Shapechanger’s Birth can be downloaded now from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Since it is the first of my books that anyone will see, I’ve priced it at $2.99 to sell quickly and give everyone an idea of what the next books will be like.

I’ll follow it with the other two books in the Mary McCarthy trilogy, spaced out in time depending on how Birth is received.

Meanwhile I’ll post The Super Olympian, as soon as I come up with a cover for it that I like. I’m thinking of classifying it as Young Adult.
