Book Two… SHE’S HERE!!!!
I am over the moon to welcome Origins to the world! This is book two of the rapid release EPIC five-book saga coming out this year and she is a beauty. Look at this amazing cover by Maya Preisler:
In Book One (The Tryst) we met Nicole, Eric, and Marc who set us on this incredible journey of discovery and passion. Origins (Book Two) shows us what lurks in the dark corners, untouched by the rays of the sun.
Back cover copy:
Three people living separate lives, unaware of each other with plans that would never make their paths cross… until they did.
Origins, book two of The Red Thread Saga, goes back to the beginning finding Nicole, Mark, and Eric before they met each other – before they ever came to be – all the while navigating the mind of a tortured soul who knows more than she should. Confined within the walls of a psychiatric ward discreetly tucked away in the woods of Tennessee, Patricia’s presence haunts the facility, affecting all who come into contact with her and casting a pall that reaches beyond the brick and mortar to caress her estranged husband’s face. And she’s still angry about what happened.
The second book of a genre-bending experimental series that challenges the way you think about love, life, connection, and purpose, Origins brings forth psychological horror that will cling to you – that will whisper in your ear as you try to sleep, even as it lays the foundation for a beautiful love affair.
This is psychological horror. This is drama. This is a thriller. This has romantic elements. And don’t forget the heaping helping of sci-fi.
This is SLIPSTREAM.
Some of the most enthralling storytellers of our time shared their thoughts on Origins:
“The most captivating story of the year continues in Origins, Book Two of the Red Thread Saga. Wood’s incredible craftsmanship pulls the reader deep into a world of her design. A world where desire swims with darkness, where grief and regret face a reckoning, and intrigue underlines every word. Enthralling and unsettling, make this your must-read series of the year!”
Candace Nola, author of Shadow Manor
“Origins is a mesmerizing story of fate between people whose lives are destined to intersect and connect throughout space and time. Their fears, anxieties, and nightmares build to a heart stopping finale that’ll leave you breathless. Delve into the dramatic worlds of L. Marie Wood, a maestra of poetic storytelling!”
Rena Mason, three-time Bram Stoker Award® winning author of The Evolutionist
It is a wild ride, friends. Come see why! Origins is available in print, ebook, and (soon) audio.
Need to catch up? Grab your copy of The Tryst (Book One) and read them back to back. It is available in print, ebook, and audio.

A moment in time… insignificant and fleeting for most, but for Nicole, Mark, and Eric, it is life-altering. Three strangers meet in a town they don’t know in a place they hadn’t expected to end up only to find that they are exactly where they were supposed to be… again.
Love always finds a way.
Through space and time, past and future, through lifetimes and storylines they were destined to find each other, love each other, lose each other – coordinates and weapons, scenarios and demographics be damned. A malfunction, to be sure. But when Ryan tries to tinker with his project, a weapon the likes of which has never been seen in all of the Galactic Collaborative, he finds out just how inexorable their link is… and how insidious.
Love always finds a way.
But sometimes that way is paved with bones.
By the time you’re done with both of these, Book Three will be ready! Wanna see the cover for Imprint?

Nah… not yet! 🙂 But here is the schedule – Imprint (Book Three) will be out on July 14th!
WOOT!
Until next time…
