Good afternoon, everyone! Welcome back to Bookmarked.
I can hardly believe we're almost to the month of March. Very soon, it will be springtime, and I personally can't wait for the changes in weather, blooming flowers, and vibrant colors.
In the spirit of newness, today I wanted to reveal a few upcoming releases from Jan-Carol Publishing, as well as one book that just recently released that I can't wait for more people to check out.
And be sure to listen to this Friday's podcast, because I will be talking about JCP's upcoming anthology collections for 2025 and going over submission opportunities, as well as providing some writing tips for your short story submissions.

The Butterfly Man by Retta Christian
After the death of his wife of over 30 years, Rick Morgan tries to navigate life without Lisa by his side. He will come to understand through the people he surrounds himself with—friends both new and old—that heroes don’t always come equipped with capes and grand gestures. Heroes are those in your circle who take your hand and pull you through the tough times, and these special people give you the hope and strength to carry on. Although Rick is a broken man, he continues to move forward, guided by family connections, old memories, and a newfound purpose.

Under Watchful Eyes by Daryll Simcox
In this sequel to Daryll's first novel, The Breath of Darkness, return to the island of Port Chatham on the one-year anniversary of the tragic events that befell a group of reality TV contestants trying to find proof of the island's mysterious creatures. Known as the "Hairy Man," these creatures still inhabit Port Chatham. A new group (containing a few familiar faces) return to Port Chatham on a retrieval mission to bring back those who didn't get to come home last time. Some are well aware of what awaits them, and some are oblivious to the dangers they will encounter.
