Reign of Magic Available in Paperback!

Meg has done it again! She broke through my wall of excuses and wove together the paperback version of Reign Of Magic! (Which, Meg describes as being big enough to beat off a mugger with.)

Amazon.com | All other Stores

The best news is that Amazon has already linked it up to the ebook page, so if you want your own copy just click on the paperback option on the Amazon page.

If you get it, you best prepare to do some weightlifting. This thing is massive. I was skimming through it while lying down and dropped it on my nose. Many regrets were had.

Once again a big thank you to Meg for putting this together, and a huge thank you to all the Champions who were patiently waiting for this. I hope you don’t smack yourself in the face with it! 😉 Thanks for reading, and have a lovely day!

Timeless Fairy Tales: Timelines!

I’ve had a general timeline of all the Timeless Fairy Tale events posted in the Timeless Fairy Tale section of the website (you can check it–along with a world map–out by clicking here) But for a long time I’ve had requests for a more detailed copy. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to do anything. However, two amazing, dedicated, and incredibly intelligent Champions stepped up to the plate!

First up we have Liz, who created a beautifully detailed–color coded by season–timeline of events that include everything from the shorts, to extras, to the events of the Fairy Tale Enchantress series! She recorded the specific event location, the book/books it’s found in, the time of year–seriously, this thing is a work of art.

Up above is a screen shot of part of it, but if you want to view the whole thing you can check out this link! It’s worth noting that by looking at the timeline and checking out the “book it occurs in” column, you can actually get a time-accurate reading order if that’s something you’ve been looking for! It also shows just how much Timeless Fairy Tales and the Fairy Tale Enchantress series are intertwined.

Our second featured Champion–who is just as talented and incredible–is Mikayla! Her accurately detailed timeline is also color coded–something my poor brain is thankful for–but she divides everything out by country! If you’re trying to get a better picture of what each country is going through at a specific time, this is going to be your priceless guide. (She even separated out the pre-Evariste getting taken events in a separate tab!)

Once again I have a screenshot above, but if you want to check it out for yourself, click on this link! Mikayla has done an outstanding job! Like Liz, she also included all the shorts and extras–she even has a section for the Princess and the Pea gang!

Liz and Mikayla deserve a special shout out for all the time and effort they’ve put into their masterpieces and mad props because they’ve sorted through events and times that I’m not even 100% certain about the timing, which means you might not necessarily agree with the placement of all details depending how you interpret the books, but these really are fantastic guides and both of these Champions deserve our thanks as a community! (Thank you, Mikayla and Liz–we appreciate all your efforts!)

We’ll put a link to both of these fabulous timelines in the Timeless Fairy Tale section, so in the future you can look at it whenever you like!

This is another example of the way you Champions never fail to amaze me, and nothing makes me happier than witnessing the ways you guys share, create, and come together.

That covers everything! I hope you all enjoy these new guidelines/time-maps to the fairy tale events. (Not gonna lie, I wish I had these when I was writing Reign of Magic, hahah!) Thanks for reading, and have an amazing weekend!

Timeless Fairy Tales: New Covers!

A few of you Champions might have noticed, but the Timeless Fairy Tale series has gotten new ebook covers!

I actually didn’t mean to have the new covers up before Christmas, but Amazon jumped the gun on me a little bit and was A LOT faster to post them than I expected, so this notice is a bit late compared to when they actually went up, ahahah.

If you want to see the whole series lined up, you can see them all together on the Timeless Fairy Tales’ series page on Amazon! (Otherwise we have them loaded onto the website, too!)

I’m excited, because for the first time ever, some of the Timeless Fairy Tale Heroes are on the covers! Can you spot them all? Share who you see in the comments down below! I’m also really happy about the Little Selkie’s cover–Dylan looks like herself now!

These covers were done by the same designer who did my Fairy Tale Enchantress series, Deranged Doctor Design! I’m sad to see Myrrhlynn’s covers go–though her covers are still on the paperbacks, which won’t be getting an update for a long time because it’s SO MUCH WORK to change them!!! But it’s been so fun to work with DDD and I’m thrilled with how the covers all turned out!

Myrrhlynn has gotten super busy over the past two years, and she helps me a lot more now with marketing and graphic design in general, so she likely won’t be doing my covers very often in the future, although she still does all the font design and what not for my Elves of Lessa and Second Age of Retha series, so you’ll still see her work around!

I’m sure some of you are wondering why the cover change, and to be honest it all comes down the marketing. Cover expectations change over the years, and my Timeless Fairy Tale covers–while beautiful–were a bit behind. You can see on the new covers they are more clearly part of a series–something I actually hadn’t wanted way back when I first got started because it was unusual to have a series of stand alone books way back in 2013 when I started the series. 😉 At the time, that helped readers realize the books were stand alone, but now that it’s more normal, the previous style is likely turning off potential readers.

And it’s actually considered standard for authors to change their covers every 2-3 years, so the Timeless Fairy Tales were about due for an update. 😉

To celebrate the new covers, I’m going to have a sale on the series starting January 1st, so mark your calendars and keep your eye out, because it’s a big sale! 😉 Happy Holidays and an early Happy New Year to you, Champions! Thank you for reading!
