The Bone Bearer - When, Where and What to Expect?

Update: Thank you for your enthusiasm and patience as I work with a fabulous team to get The Bone Bearer ready for release. I can confirm this next book in the TELESA Series will be released in August, first as an e-book and then later, in print. There are several events planned in NZ, Australia and Samoa for the book release. Some have yet to be finalized. There will be book signings in Auckland, Hamilton and possibly Wellington. I can announce that thanks to a generous invitation from Griffith University in Queensland, I will be launching this book in Brisbane on August 27th-29th. From there I will be in Samoa for a book signing/party during the week of the Teuila Festival. Please sign up for my author newsletter  if you would like to be informed when the book is released and where you can get your copy. I am excited to get this book out into the world and hope very much that you enjoy this final chapter of Leila and Daniel's often turbulent love story.
Here's a brief peek at what you can expect!

“No more talking! I don’t need you. I’ll go hunt down these women myself,” raged Pele. She snapped then and sent a ball of flame barreling towards Daniel.
Everyone shouted at once. “No!”
Daniel threw his hands up in front of his face but the flames never landed. Instead something slammed into him, pushing him out of the way and taking the attack meant for him. Not something – someone.
Keahi. He took the direct hit and relished it. An instant of poised crimson outline and then Keahi burst into flame. A whoop of glee. “Yeah!”
Pele was stunned. “What are you?” She slowly walked towards him with her eyes alight, hand outstretched. “So beautiful.”
“You like?” Keahi asked as he flexed, sending ripples of orange and gold racing up and down his body.
“But, it’s impossible,” breathed Pele. “You are a man.”
“Yes ahh am,” drawled Keahi.
“Oh don’t make me vomit,” said Simone. He came up beside Daniel. “You alright?”
“Yeah,” said Daniel. He was trying to hide it but Simone could tell how shaken he was that Leila/Pele had really tried to attack him. He looked over at Keahi. “Thanks.”
The boy on fire shrugged, “Now we’re even.” He turned back to Pele. “You really shouldn’t flame at your friends like that. They’re not indestructible. Not like me.”
Pele was entranced. “Never in all my many lifetimes did I ever imagine there could be a boy Keawe. Our Mother Earth never entrusted her sacred power to males. But, it makes perfect sense. How much better it would be to have a mating of two fire gods!”
Keahi immediately lost all his swagger. There was an akward silence as the others exchanged stunned looks. WTF?!
Pele was oblivious. She reached to caress Keahi’s face with fingers of fire. “Have you ever tried it?”
“Umm, tried what?” said Keahi as he took a step back.
Pele was impatient. “Have you ever loved another fire god?”
“No, can’t say that I have,” he replied with an embarrassed laugh.
“It all makes sense now,” Pele said. “The sense of peace and connection I feel when I’m with you, why you made my pain go away. It’s because we’re the same. We’re meant to be together.” She took his hands in hers and announced with triumph, “This is why I have been reborn at this time and in this place. So we could find each other.”
