Children of the Fog Chinese edition ebook now available

I am so excited to announce my second translated work--this time for my international bestseller, CHILDREN OF THE FOG. It is now available as an ILLUSTRATED ebook in Chinese. Translation by Cai Biye. Published by Fiberead.

We've been working on this book for a while, and I can't tell you how pleased I am to have been part of it. Many thanks to everyone who was involved.

I had a lot of input into the graphics, but mostly they were the inspiration of a talented graphic artist, Gao Yang, also known as Yolanda. Gao Yang created stunning images for CHILDREN OF THE FOG, including the cover.

I'll post some of her images that she has graciously allowed me to share within this blog post; the first, to the left, is the book cover for CHILDREN OF THE FOG. Each chapter contains a special illustration by Gao Yang, reflecting the mood and elements from the story.

作品简介

加拿大的寒冬，幽冷僻静的森林木屋里，昏黄摇曳的油灯下，萨蒂·康奈尔凝视着照片中儿子纯真的笑脸，缓缓举起手中的枪……

旁人眼中的畅销书作家，知名律师的妻子，可爱小男孩的妈妈，萨蒂拥有令人艳羡的完美人生。谁知光环与笑脸背后隐藏的，竟是难言的阴影和泪水、背叛和怨恨。是什么让酒精成为逃避痛苦的慰藉？是什么让儿子成为拯救人生的希望？是什么让爱成为命运唯一的信仰？

雾锁小镇，梦魇缠身。他是令人毛骨 悚然的魔鬼，他是路灯下一闪而过的黑影。他以暗夜为外衣，武器，却只盗取无邪的童真，抢夺母亲的梦想。他是魔，是盜，还是人？他可恨，可憎，还是可叹，可悲？

雷雨中脚步匆匆，雾林里童声回荡， 地堡之下可怕的真相即将揭露。儿子被绑、生死未卜，那只如影随形的乌鸦，难道是死神的信使？母亲笔下可 爱的疯狂蝙蝠，小镇旁边幽深的蝙蝠洞穴，一切难道只是巧合，还是早已冥冥注定？本书融合悬疑、犯罪、伦理和玄幻等多种因素，扣人心弦地讲述了一个关于亲情与友情，背叛与救赎的故事。 作者在书中延续自己一贯的风格，用亲切平实的语言制造重重悬念，真实细腻地展现女主人公的心理历程，故事情节跌宕起伏，环环相扣，让人如坠云雾，却始终感觉前方有一丝光亮在指引方向，有一股摄人心魄的力量让人坚持到底。谜底揭晓时，你是否会感叹：

终散去，死生一念间。

On April 26 and 27, I am giving away free Kindle copies of my "heart book"--WHALE SONG. It is the best gift I can think of to give you.

I call it my "heart book" because it was my first published book and the story I am most emotionally connected to of all my titles. To say I "love" this book is an understatement. :-)

Whale Song has literally changed people's lives. In fact, one woman told me it "saved" her. Another told me it reunited her with her mother, who also read my novel. Another said it helped her deal with the loss of a parent. Many readers have laughed and cried and healed. I am blessed.

So today please accept a free copy of WHALE SONG and share it with a loved one.

This international bestseller, which has received much movie interest, is FREE on Amazon TODAY & TOMORROW only.

WHALE SONG

A "compelling" story of family ties, love, tragedy, sacrifice and transformation that will change the way you view life...and death.

Thirteen years ago, Sarah Richardson’s life was shattered after the tragic death of her mother. The shocking event left a grief-stricken teen-aged Sarah with partial amnesia.

Some things are easier to forget.

But now a familiar voice from her childhood sends Sarah, a talented mid-twenties ad exec, back to her past. A past that she had thought was long buried.

Some things are meant to be buried.

Torn by nightmares and visions of a yellow-eyed wolf and aided by creatures of the Earth and killer whales that call to her in the night, Sarah must face her fears and recover her memories―even if it destroys her.

Some things are meant to be remembered―at all cost.

Reviews:

“I read Whale Song and loved it.” ―Jodelle Ferland, actress (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Case 39)

“Tardif’s story has that perennially crowd-pleasing combination of sweet and sad that so often propels popular commercial fiction…Tardif, already a big hit in Canada…a name to reckon with south of the border.” ―Booklist

“Whale Song is deep and true, a compelling story of love and family and the mysteries of the human heart...a beautiful, haunting novel.” ―NY Times bestselling novelist Luanne Rice, author of Beach Girls

“A wonderfully well-written novel. Wonderful characters [that] shine. The settings are exquisitely described. The writing is lyrical. Whale Song would make a wonderful movie.” ―Writer’s Digest

“Whale Song is reminiscent of Ring of Endless Light by M. L’Engle, and Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.” ―Carol D. O’Dell, author of Mothering Mother

“One doesn’t simply read a Tardif story, one experiences it! Among the very few authors I’ve ever said that about is my all-time favorite Pat Conroy. Like him, Cheryl Kaye Tardif has a definite way with words.” ―Betty Dravis, co-author of Dream Reachers I & II.

“Tardif leaves a lasting mark on her readers…Moving and irresistible.” ―Midwest Book Review
