Happy Paperback Release,
THE ETERNA FILES!
Hello Darling Readers! The mass-market paperback edition of
THE ETERNA FILES is now available wherever books are sold!
In celebration of this happy release week, and the fact that the sequel
ETERNA & OMEGA is available for
pre-order, I thought I'd share some very nice, lovely things reviewers and magazines have said about
THE ETERNA FILES, book one in the Eterna Files trilogy with Tor Books:
"Hieber
blends historical fact and paranormal fiction with ease, creating a world that
is lush and fascinatingly strange, and reveals her secrets sparingly, keeping
fans on edge for more information about these intriguingly powerful characters
and the ties that bind them. Smart, boundlessly creative gaslamp fantasy."
- RT Book Reviews
“A very
different but unique book that definitely had me turning the pages wondering
what would happen next. A very good start to what looks like a promising
series.” – Books of Love
The Eterna Files is an intriguing tale of ghosts, spirits, the
occult, politics, and espionage with complex and engaging characters.
Leanna Renee Hieber has brought the Victorian world to life in her novel.
The world in which her characters reside in is both romantic and
terrifying. The late nineteenth-century was on the precipice of immense
change--a change that was both intoxicating and terrifying, which is reflected
within the novel. Leanna Renee Hieber knows her history and employs her
knowledge well in her novel. The
Eterna Files simply crackles with the energy of the era, and is
a haunting, lush, and intelligent fantasy.” – Michelle Hamilton, author of “I Would Still Be Drowned in Tears”:
Spiritualism in Abraham Lincoln’s White House
“It’s
always a pleasure for me to read something that’s not quite like anything I’ve
read before. The Eterna Files is just
such a book. There are ghosts and murders and kidnappings and dark magic and
all kinds of other gothic goings on. Hieber’s prose is well wrought and
seductive, and her knowledge of the Victorian era is formidable. The Eterna
Files is a darkly gothic concoction, mixing mystery, horror and romance… well
worth your time.” – Singular Points
“Addicted.
I am officially addicted to Leanna Renee Hieber’s writing. I fell in love with The Eterna Files from the very first
page. Hieber has a wonderful way of creating rich historical worlds that draw
you in and keep you enthralled. It is difficult to imagine the days when
America and Great Britain were enemies, but [the setting] is barely a hundred
years after the Revolution and both countries are hunting the same prize. It is
easy to see how both would see each other as the enemuy and not the ally they
are today. If you love a mystery, gothic fiction, and an all-around good story,
you need to read this book.” – RoseReads
"Excellent first installment in a unique new series. Hieber expertly
blends intriguing supernatural elements and interesting, quirky characters in
an authentic historical setting. Readers who enjoy a skillful mixture of
history and paranormal elements will be well pleased." - Carol Malcom for
Bitten by Books
"An
interesting blend of genres with a unique premise." - The BiblioSanctum
"A
case study in cliff-hangers. Hieber crafts a wonderful Victorian sandbox to
play in, draping it in the fineries of the paranormal and mystical. The Eterna Files is a terrific ride set
in a world that you'll want to return to. Fans of all things mystical,
Victorian and goth need apply posthaste." - Pop Kernal
"A
wonderful premise. Hieber is a great writer! I love her prose; it's romantic,
detail oriented, atmospheric and very intelligent." - Talk Supe
"Rich
in conceits as anything from Alan Moore, Hieber’s novel mixes action and the
emotional lives of its characters into a fascinating stew." - Paul Di
Filippo for Asimov's Magazine
“Extremely
descriptive; the supernatural plot is intriguing. The author has offered up a
rainbow of characters, from the guilt-ridden to the intellectual to the
satirical, which will have readers champing at the bit for more.” – Suspense magazine
“Hieber
carves out a chillingly reimagined Gilded Age in careful detail.” - Kirkus Reviews
“The
alternating plotlines seem equally urgent, riddled by murders and bearing the
taint of madness. Both settings take the time to introduce a fascinating array
of offbeat characters.” Faren Miller, Locus
“An
incredibly gripping Holmesian gothic story with supernatural undertones that
will send a cold shiver down your spine on the hottest of days. I felt
instantly close to the main characters on both sides of the battle as the
darkening plot twists whisked me toward the thrilling and emotional end. An
engaging, fast-paced, mystery-laden story.” – The Found Girl

I'm very grateful for the lovely praise. I know the cliff-hanger ending of this novel has made some folks very nervous, don't worry, it will all be revealed soon as the series continues in just a few months!
If you aren't already aware, characters from my Magic Most Foul saga as well as my Strangely Beautiful saga appear prominently throughout the Eterna Files trilogy so be prepared to welcome back old friends to new terrors! (The poor dears!)
I truly hope you'll all go out and support the book in paperback, digital or hardcover edition this week if you haven't already. (Thank you from the bottom of my spooky heart to all of you who have supported the book so far!) The first week's sales of any release are the most important and examined sales numbers we receive, so your support is extra appreciated these release weeks, though it is appreciated and vital at any time. If you like my work, please tell friends, family and like-minded readers as word of mouth is the backbone of any author's career! I have the best readers in the world and I want everyone to know it!
My convention season starts at the end of this month with the fabulous ANACHROCON in Atlanta, hope to see some of you there!
Thank you, bless you, and as always, happy haunting! - Leanna Renee
