Curse of Magic: Let’s Celebrate!

The wait is over, Curse of Magic is finally available to purchase or to read in KU! Wooohoooo!!


I am so relieved! CoM was a work of love, Champions. That sucker is my longest fairy tale book by a lot. I hope you enjoy all the extra scenes! But as some of you were wondering, I am indeed throwing my usual “let’s celebrate/thanks for reviewing” special.

Once CoM hits about 90 reviews–including reviews across all Amazon stores and Goodreads–I will release a bonus chapter! I’m again only doing one this time because it’s a long bonus chapter/scene. (It’s actually even longer than the Duke’s Clothes!) It’s called The Love Potion, and it takes place during the events of Apprentice of Magic.


I like to release bonus content with book releases because I am sincerely grateful for your honest reviews! They help me, and they help readers new to me decide if the book is really something they’d be interested in. So a big thank you in advance to all you dedicated Champions who review!

I’m going to keep it short and stop it here–mostly because I’m sure everyone is anxious to go and read, so be free my Champions! 😉 But remember to check back for themed blog posts and the extra! Until then, enjoy the book.

Beauty and the Beast Retellings


Beauty and the Beast Retellings

Beauty and the Beast is one of the most well known fairy tales ever–and, let’s be real, the Disney animated movie is pretty much perfection!

My fairy tale retelling of Beauty and the Beast is Book #1 in the Timeless Fairy Tales series, and one of my other books, Curse of Magic, will give you Angelique’s side of the story!


So let’s take a look at some of the Beauty and the Beast retellings I’ve read, AND more books the Facebook Champions recommended.


Some of my top favorite Beauty and the Beast retellings are….

And of course, there is my retelling, Beauty and the Beast by K.M. Shea (Haha, surprise!)


Here’s a “couple” more my Champions recommended on Facebook, but while I have read some, I haven’t read them all. (Or even most of them–and now I have massive fairy tale To Be Read stack, haha!) Brace yourself because they had a LOT of suggestions!


Note that I didn’t include any books that were labeled as definitely not clean so if you’re looking for even more suggestions you can check out the comments on the Facebook post.


Whew, and that’s all that we have so far! Have you tried these? Do you know of more? If you have a suggestion that isn’t on the list (and is clean) then give it a shout out in the comments and either I or one of my lovely assistants will add it to the list. Now, Champions, go forth and enjoy good books!

Curse of Magic Pre-Order


Angelique Book 2 preorder

Less than 10 days until Curse of Magic launches, and it’s available for pre-order right now!



It’s actually been available on pre-order for a while–something I don’t normally do. And I don’t like to do it because I’m having to use a place holder file right now (since the book is in the final beta read stage right now) and I’ve heard too many horror stories of Amazon delivering the place holder file by accident instead of the final version. I’m crossing my fingers that won’t happen, but just in case it happens to you my place holder file has instructions on how you can request an updated version of the file from Amazon support.


Coincidentally, my tiny place holder file is also the reason why the book is currently showing up in the “Kindle Short Reads” category, which is extremely irritating to me! I promise the final version of the book will be a full length novel! It’s actually longer than the first book. (Ahahaha and all those extra pages were made with sweat, blood, and tears.)


Curse of Magic will feature lots of new scenes from Angelique’s point of view but it will also have spoilers for Beauty and the Beast, Puss in Boots, Wild Swans, and a few more. If you don’t mind spoiling yourself a bit you can probably figure out which additional books overlap by reviewing my Timeless Fairy Tales timeline (click here for the series page). You might also find the series page helpful since it has a map of the continent, and Angelique travels around a LOT.


Before I close let’s take one more look at the cover image:


Curse of Magic Cover

I just love the background on this cover, it’s so pretty and fits the world so well! Angelique’s core magic obviously isn’t fire but she is able to manipulate it to some extent thanks to her training. 🙂


And that’s all for today! Thank you, Champions, for your support in this series! Apprentice of Magic has been selling amazingly, part of that is due to your loyalty and support. So I raise my sword to you, Champions! 😉
