Polar Day has a NEW cover!

Well, you saw Polar Night, and now Polar Day has its gorgeous new cover, too! Jenny Eickbush was the artistic talent behind the Polar Magic series’ new covers. They are dark, mysterious, and just plain beautiful. We can’t wait to show off the third installment in September!

While you wait for Polar Curse, the third book in the Polar Magic series, a paranormal detective mystery, you can pre-order the new edition of Polar Day, or even snag a first edition copy for half-price (while supplies last!). We’ll be revealing Polar Curse’ cover on September 1, so make sure to follow us on Instagram, @inksmithpublishing and join our cover reveal fun. And of course, make sure you follow the author, Julie Flanders, for updates on her projects!

Polar Night & Polar Day will both be available on Kobo Unlimited starting September 1, so make sure you catch up with our lead detective Danny Fitzpatrick before Polar Curse publishes in October.

About Polar Day

The midnight sun bakes Fairbanks, Alaska as residents gather for the annual summer solstice baseball game. Amidst shouts of “Play ball!” a spark alights and a jogger bursts into flames. Detective Danny Fitzpatrick, still reeling from his near death at the hands of vampire Aleksei Nechayev, watches in horror as the man burns alive.

Someone is burning Fairbanks and its residents and leaving nothing but smoldering embers behind. As the city sweats under a record-breaking heatwave and unexplained fires claim more victims, Danny and his colleagues struggle to find an arsonist who can conjure fire out of thin air.

To Danny’s horror, the only one who may be able to help him stop the arsonist is his nemesis Nechayev. Will the vampire help in the hunt for a witch?

Stay tuned for Polar Curse cover reveal on 9.1.22!

Polar Night Gets a Facelift!

Polar Night is the first book in the newly designed Polar Magic series by Julie Flanders. After deciding to add another installment to the Polar Magic series, we thought it best to make sure these action-packed novels had a new style.

Originally published in 2013, Polar Night was paranormal detective novel that hooked us into detective Danny Fitzpatrick’s life. Watching him battle some dangerous, murderous paranormal creatures has been such a wild ride. This fall, we will join Danny again as he takes on another puzzling case in Fairbanks, Alaska, but as we wait for the next murder—Polar Night and Polar Day are getting new covers!

Plus, if you haven’t read these novels yet, the first editions are going on sale! Polar Night, edition 1 is on sale for 7.99 on our web store while supplies last! But, if you really love the new cover as much as we do, you can Pre-Order Polar Night, too!

About Polar Night

At noon the sun awakens as rural Dalton highway is painted on the arctic, Alaskan horizon. Silhouetted against the burning haze, a haunted asylum pierces the never-ending sky.

A woman screams.

A silken voice and a powerful grip to the throat persuades her silence. His classic Russian features, not unlike the minted image of Czar Nicolas II, remain frozen in time. “Please do not disappoint me like the others, my darling.”

The doorbell chimes. He releases his hold and caresses her cheek. “Natasha,” escapes his lips as he ascends the creaky wooden stairs. A calm hand opens the door. The glistening snow on the front porch pales against Aleksei’s skin and charming smile.

The callused hand of detective Danny Fitzpatrick flashes a search warrant. His puffy, bloodshot eyes lock onto Aleksei’s …

The young woman cries out, but only Aleksei hears. They will never find you my dear. This beaten and hung over man does not have a clue.

Hours later, the detective crosses the threshold and shudders as if encased in a block of ice. The sun drops to sleep and an eerie shadow creeps alongside him. He shakes his head.

Aleksei watches from the peephole. You feel my immortal essence … do you not? A forceful hand bolts the door. Aleksei probes his elongating eye teeth.

It is time for a new plan …

Polar Day gets its new cover on August 12, 2022!
