Germiston businesswoman and Florida Hills resident Carlyle Labuschagne’s second novel in the Broken series, Evanescent, will be available in e-book and paperback in mid-November, 2013.<\/p>\n

The young mom’s debut novel, The Broken Destiny, introduced readers to Ava and the other inhabitants of the planet Poseidon.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The science fiction\/fantasy tale targeted young readers, but, to Carlyle’s delight, attracted fans from all age groups who enjoy this increasingly popular genre.<\/p>\n

Published by Sensational Publications, Evanescent continues Ava’s journey of self-discovery.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The Broken Destiny created an international following in the dystopian, science fiction genre.<\/p>\n

Picking up from the first novel, Carlyle has incorporated, in Evanescent, a handful of dark elements that highlight the internal struggles of the saga’s heroine – a battle that comes down to a choice between individuality and conformation.<\/p>\n

“Evanescent – such a beautiful word: fading or disappearing out of sight, memory or existence.<\/p>\n

“This, the second instalment in Carlyle Labuschagne’s The Broken Series, is everything you expected and looked forward to reading,” commented editor Sandra Valente, of SSBookFanatics.com, in her review.<\/p>\n

“Carlyle has upped the ante, the action, the suspense, the love – which, against all odds, is binding – and the overall intensity.<\/p>\n

“Words and passages are written with such feeling, it’s beyond gripping.<\/p>\n

“Evanescent was all I expected, and more.<\/p>\n

“I’m not only [still] a believer, she’s surpassed my expectations.”<\/p>\n

The book is one of the most highly anticipated 2013 releases from indie authors on review sites such as GoodRead.com, a testament to the following Carlyle has enjoyed since the release of her debut novel, in 2012.<\/p>\n

Carlyle is passionate about helping to create a generation of avid readers.<\/p>\n

Married to Dirk and mom to Ethan (9) and Jordan (6), the Germiston businesswoman is a social media die-hard and likes to connect with fans via her website and other social media platforms.<\/p>\n

A teaser of Evanescent may be viewed on Carlyle’s website, www.carlylelabuschagne.com.<\/p>\n

The e-book will be released on November 16, on major online sites such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kalahari.<\/p>\n

The paperback version will hit the shelves shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n

A taste of Evanescent:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Within my blood runs a thing our kind calls the Shadowing Disease.<\/p>\n

“It shadows over, and bends everything to its will.<\/p>\n

“When the first blood-shift came, it tore through flesh and blood, threatening to bend me, break bone, shatter my mind and entrap my heart with its honeyed, seductive poison.<\/p>\n

“It came with vicious intent, moving my thoughts and altering me forever.<\/p>\n

“The shift has caused a rift within me.<\/p>\n

“No one was safe when it entrapped me in its claws of foul lust.<\/p>\n

“But I have the only antidote against the evil that becomes me – his touch alone has the power to release the spurs of sweet darkness that cling on for dear life.<\/p>\n

“I knew what I had to do; the desperation pulled my mind with the deep determination of a hungry predator.<\/p>\n

“By the time the revelation raised me from the dark dungeon of my bounds – it might have been too late.”<\/p>\n
