Short Story: Defense Lessons

Hi-ho there, Champions! You’ve unlocked the first short for Frog Prince, Defense Lessons, in record time!

It’s still a little early for the themed blog posts since Frog Prince only launched yesterday, but I wanted to get the short out so instead you guys get this short post! I have to say a big thank you to everyone who has left a review! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed Ariane and Lucien’s story AND the progression of the “big picture” part of the story. It has been SO HARD not giving any part of the big reveal away–especially since some of you have been sniffing up clues for years.

There’s only two fairy tales left for this arc (12 Dancing Princesses, and Snow White) and then the series will wrap up with Angelique’s story, which will be her own series called The Fairy Tale Enchantress.

That’s all for today, Champions! I hope you enjoy the short!

Frog Prince: Available to Pre-order now!

Happy Halloween, Champions! Frog Prince is now available for pre-order, and has a launch date of 11/3–this Friday! I’m really anxious to see what you all think of the book–it pulls back the curtain on some of the larger world-issues.

As usual, I am going to run a review specials for Frog Prince! Reviews are really important for authors. They help a lot to provide useful feedback for me and for possible/interested readers. So as a thank you for reviewing. I love reviews wherever you leave them including Amazon.com, the UK Amazon site, the Australian Amazon site, and Goodreads!

This time I’m releasing three shorts as part of this book launch!

1. Defense Lessons: 4 page short story: Unlocked

2. Dressing Up: 6 page short story: Unlocked 

3. The King and Queen of Loire: 12 page short story: Unlocked
   

Finally, Beauty and the Beast is temporarily on sale for 99 cents to celebrate The Frog Prince’s release! I’ll probably keep it at that price for roughly a month before hiking it back to its regular price of $2.99.

That’s all for today. Until Friday, Champions, have a lovely week!

Preparations and Flags

Preparations for Frog Prince continue! I have all the extras written up–they just have to go through a round of editing–and I had a lot of fun with these particular extras, so I really hope you all enjoy them. So far it looks like we are on schedule for a late October/early November release!

Assistant Rock Star Meg has begun the awful daunting task of going through all my manuscripts and reformatting them. This is a bigger task then it sounds because it just so happens I’m horrible at consistency, so each manuscript is out of order in its own, unique way. Hopefully we’ll be able to get a few new paperbacks out before Christmas–in particular Wild Swans and Rumpelstiltskin. Thanks for your patience, Meg!

Additionally, I have some new, beautiful fan art to display! Champion Mary Theresa created something I’m particularly gleeful about: the flag standards for Erlauf, Arcainia, and Verglas!

I have to commend Mary’s attention to detail as the standards are really only mentioned one time each in the entire series and she perfectly nailed the colors and country symbols. (I also like that she made each shield different!) But I think this is also an incredibly high compliment. As an author, it’s a little easier for me to flesh out characters and scenes for you all as readers, but countries are on a totally different level. So I’m so happy that Mary was interested enough in the countries and their standards that she decided to make these. (Thanks Mary!)

That’s all for today! Thanks for reading, Champions, and have a lovely weekend!
