December 21, 2012 – Will that fateful day destroy our world, or did the Mayans have something else in mind? Maya Delaney knows. Unfortunately.
Martha Bourke’s best-selling Jaguar Sun Series has people talking. See what they’re saying-
“Fast-paced and fun! Interesting take on the Mayan 2012 prophecy with some well-researched mythology woven into modern day life. Perfect for older teens and adults. Quirky and likable characters combined with an action-packed story line equals a great start to a new teen paranormal series! Looking forward to the next installment.” 5-star review
“The Jaguar Sun is an excellent fantasy & prophecy blowing tour de force of a novel. The author’s knowledge and understanding of Mayan folklore and prophecy is first class too, providing proven credibility, and if you love fantasy and adventure fiction, then this book is for you.” 5-star review
“Jaguar Sun has a fresh angle, likable characters and an exciting plot. Count me in for Jaguar Moon!” 5-star review
Hi, I just finished Deadly Call. I happened on the New Breed series quite by accident and have to say I’m glad I did. Can’t wait for Mating Call. Can December get here fast enough? Thanks and keep on writing!
Best regards, Nancy
Hi Nancy!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the new series. Working on Book 3 as we speak. I wanted to mention that if you haven’t had the chance to read the little novella, Revelations, you might like it. It’s a look into Richard and Adriana’s mating and includes the stories of SE and Ana eight years earlier.

Hi there, I know I have asked you when the new “New Breed” novel comes out but I can’t find the email. I would also like to know when the new “Jaguar Sun” one comes out! I have read all of them now and NEED another soon! Please
Hi Debbie,
Good to hear from you as always.
Writing the third New Breed now and taking my time with it. I would prefer it come out just at the holidays in December, but it’s a major book, as the lead couple is a fan favorite. It’s also very important to the series, so I really want to nail it. It’s possible it may get pushed to early January, depending on my editor’s schedule. Promise to let you know as soon as the date is firm. Thanks so much! Martha
Anyway I can purchase your work on my nook reader?
I just finished book 2 The Deadly Call…I am hanging on a thread …please let me know when the next book is coming out…I can’t wait!!! Is the Jaguar series like the New Breed? Does it have different story lines and characters?…. thank you for your greast books….there is a little more bad language in it…. than I am use to…try to skip over. Ir as the characters and story line are exciting!
Hi Connie,
I so glad you’re enjoying the New Breed Novels. Book 3 will be released in February. To answer your question about the YA series, it takes place in the same world as the New Breed books only earlier in time. Adriana and Richard are the most important adult characters in the series and Ana and SE make brief appearances. Same war, but earlier. Try it – way less swearing, I promise! I highly recommend that you read the Novella, Revelations. It’s the story of how Adriana and Richard meet and a prequal to both series. Enjoy!
Hi there and Happy New Year,
Loving the New Breed books and was wondering if you have an update when the third one will be out…….not that I’m in any way desperate you understand……much lol.
Hi Cathy!
Hahaha! Book 3 will be out at the end of February. I just locked in my time with my editor. It’ll be worth the wait – promise!
Martha
Any nice pre order links huh huh huh!!!
Hi Cathy! Just started editing. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks! It’ll be available exclusively at Amazon. So glad to hear you’re so excited! So am I!

Hiya the new breed series is amazing. Can you tell me the proper intended reading order of your books. I’ve read 1-3 of new breed it was amazing. I’m lost what to read now plz help xxx
Hi Marsha,
This is such a great question that I wanted everyone to hear the answer. Both series are made to be read on their own, as not every reader of Adult books enjoys Young Adult books and vice versa.
But, if you want to really dive into the World that they both take place in, you can do it a couple of ways. The Jaguar Sun series takes place a few months before the New Breeds. So you can start there, then read the Novella, and then the New Breeds.
Or you can start with the New Breeds and then swing back around to get the full scoop on the origins of the World and the war (not to mention Adriana, Richard and the Goddess) in the YA. The Novella: Revelations is the story of how Richard and Adriana meet and mate and also what Soaring Eagle (and Ana a bit too) was like before the NB books. My favorite place to read it as a reader would be right before the NB books.
Thanks for asking such a great question!
hello martha I am really enjoying your jaguar Sun series. Could you tell me if book 3 jaguar hunter is available to read on kindle fire yet. Keep seeing it mentioned at the end of the other books and on the new breed series books as well. Which are fantastic by the way. I’ve tried every thing I can think of to find it but as yet I’m failing. I can’t wait to find out what happens next x
Hi Gail!
I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying both of the series. You can’t currently find Jaguar Hunter, the third and final book in the JS Trilogy, because it hasn’t been released yet. It really can’t be until the timing is right between the YA Jaguar Sun and adult New Breed series.
For those who read only the YA series or only the Adult series, the release date for Jaguar Hunter doesn’t affect the story telling. But for readers who are reading all of the books, such as yourself, it will give many things away in advance if Jaguar Hunter is released too early – one of which is a major plot line in the NB books.
So! Hang in there for now. Fatal Call, New Breed 4 (Xavier’s story) will be out in the early fall. Thanks so much for reading and for taking the time to write in. I love to hear from readers. You’ve made my week!
Yahhhh can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait…I feel like a 5 yr old waiting for Christmas on Boxing Day lol (it’s a Yorkshire saying)…..
Happy writing xxx
Hi martha at least I can stop trying to find it now. I would also like to say big thank you for your reply because it was the first time I have ever emailed anyone. I am rookie on the web and so happy I did it right lol. Keep the books coming, they are great. Oh I’m 54yrs old by the way and love fantasy fiction. You are never too old to dream x
Hi Martha I am absolutely in LOVE with the New Breed series. I have read the series several times, about 5 times each if not more.
Every time I read it I pick up on something I missed before. With that being said I just have one question for you. In the back of the last book (Mating Call) it lists your upcoming books and it said book 4 (Fatal Call) would be out in 2014 but on your website it says March 2014. Can you tell me when it will be coming out? I can’t wait to read the next book and see what happens next… Thanks again for writing such a great series!!!!
Hi Melissa!
Eek! Thanks for letting me know that the dates were crossed! Fatal call is due out in late fall – probably November. I put out two books a year, as writing is only one of my full time jobs.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the NB’s. They’re such a pleasure to write.
Also, Revelations, the little novella prequel tells about Adriana and Richard’s mating, as well as SE, Ana, and even a little Victrixa. I don’t know if you like YA, but the JS series tells about the year leading up to the NB books, and tells the story of Maya (baby Maya’s namesake).
Thanks so much for your note! It made my night. And thanks for catching that error.
Martha
