Happy July, my friends!
It feels like it's been longer than a month since my last newsletter with so many exciting updates in the works! First off - Common is re-released!!!!! Yay!! I'm so thrilled to have these beloved characters back in the world, reaching new readers. And reach new readers they have! I was humbled and so grateful that Common spent several days with an orange #1 New Release banner on Amazon. You guys are the best!! Keep an eye on my social media, since I'm planning a giveaway once we reach 100 reviews - we're getting so close! I had an opportunity to celebrate Common's release in the Clean Fairytales Facebook group and had so much fun!! I was seriously smiling all evening - there's something special about getting to connect with so many like-minded readers (and if you're a new subscriber from that event, welcome!!). So many thanks to everyone who has posted a review, shared about Common, or celebrated its re-release in any way, it means the world to me.
Several days after the excitement of Common's release, my husband and I loaded up tons of food and gear and our four kiddos into our minivan and drove out west! We spent nine days in Wyoming (including three days camping in Yellowstone) and had an amazing time! No trip is without its challenges, but overall the weather and kids cooperated and we appreciated the opportunity to be surrounded by so much natural beauty and cool wildlife (such as the bison that caused a traffic jam and then walked right past our van!).
During our family's travels, we revealed the covers for the Intertwined Tales! What do you think? These gorgeous covers just fit the theme of our series so well, and I love that they're all so unique but still come together as a series (and my dragon is just so epic!!!). The books start releasing in two months, eep!! I'm wrapping up the final proofread for A Noble Purpose, then it's finally time to get back to writing The Dancer and the Dragon Speaker - hopefully I'll have some progress to share next month!
In the meantime, have a lovely summer and good luck with going back to school for anyone who starts in August! I'd love to hear about any fun trips you've taken, exciting news you're celebrating, or fantastic books you've read!
Book Spotlights
I just finished The Princess Test by Valia Lind and it was so much fun! I enjoyed how Russian words were sprinkled in to enhance the world-building, and who doesn't love a romance based in a library? This clean Princess and the Pea retelling released earlier this year!
Someone recently recommended Byrd Nash's Regency fairy tale retellings, and I knew I needed to read them! And just look at that cover!! Dance of Hearts is "A Cinderella retelling as a historical romance with a touch of fairytale magic and a happily ever after ending." Cue all the heart eyes!
Speaking of Cinderella, want to know the backstory of Prince Charming? Sydney Hunt has you covered! Crownmaker, the newest addition to her Chronicles of the Deep series, just released in early July!
Prince Charming wasn't born. He was forged.
Now, where are my urban fantasy fans? The Vampire's Masquerade by Nellie Peters (Book 1 in the Paranormal Literary Society) is on sale through the end of the month!
The Paranormal Literary Society series comprises four interconnected romances, each inspired by a classic fairy tale and with its own happily ever after. It features relatable, complex male & female leads; dual points of view; a cast of human and supernatural characters; sweet, slow-burn romance; and generous helpings of humor and adventure. The series includes an overarching plot and should be read in order.
