Time Immemorial Out Now on Scribd!

Some of you may not know this, but not only do I review books, I also edit them! Lately I have been working together with an author whose books have been central to this blog from its inception: Leanna Renee Hieber. Leanna’s debut YA novel, Darker Still, was the first book to ever be reviewed on The Gothic Library, back in June 2015. Since then, Leanna has written several guest posts for the blog and I’ve reviewed a dozen of her other novels. Spending so much time in deep analysis of her stories laid the perfect groundwork for our editorial relationship.

And now the first book we’ve worked on together is out there in the world! Time Immemorial: A Dark Nest Adventure is a science-fiction novella centering on the character of Elizabeth Marlowe, whose consciousness is spit between lifetimes in four different eras. As Elizabeth timeslips from Druidic Britain to a spacefaring future, she discovers a dangerous enemy set on eradicating all those with psychic powers. As the subtitle suggests, Time Immemorial is a companion story to Leanna’s Dark Nest Chronicles, though you don’t need to have read any of the prior books to jump into this one. You may also recognize the character of Lizzie Marlowe as the Visitor, who makes several appearances in The Eterna Files. But if—despite my constant rambling—you haven’t yet read any of Leanna’s books, this is a great place to jump right in. Time Immemorial is the first in a trilogy and is available now in ebook and audiobook format on Scribd. I particularly recommend the audiobook, as it is narrated by the author, herself!

If you’re unfamiliar with Scribd, it is a book subscription platform where you can get unlimited access to ebooks and audiobooks for $10 per month. And even better, if you don’t have a subscription yet you can get a 30-day free trial. The site contains a wide variety of books from major publishers, along with user-uploaded content and and original works published through their own independent presses like Bryant Street Publishing. So hop on now and check out Time Immemorial. I hope you enjoy!
