Book Sale, Massive Giveaway Event, and More

2 Comments

It feels like it’s been a century since I’ve posted something, wherein it’s actually been less than a week. Such is how a deadline scrambles your brain, I suppose.

Speaking of scrambling, I completely forgot to open signups for SR3’s release launch. I’d very much appreciate your help spreading the word about Shattered Resistance’s release on May 28th or any day after that within the week. You can find the form here and learn more about SR3 here.

Read on to learn about an absolutely colossal giveaway, a book sale, and a voting opportunity.

Fairytale Summer

I’m joining forces with more than thirty other authors to bring you an epic event where there are more than ninety–yes, ninety–books up for the win as well as a grand assortment of door prizes (like SR1’s and IRON’s character cards). Be sure you join the Facebook group here so you can enjoy the festivities, which begin June 1st. Many books are open to international winners.

*Please keep in mind that, while this is marketed as a clean fairytale event, there are some books with Level 2 romance (I consider only Level 1 to be clean), and some books contain profanity. The organizer will be providing a list of all books and their romance/profanity levels. There are several that are perfectly clean and that I can wholeheartedly recommend, so be sure to join for a chance to win the numerous clean books. *

Fairy Tales Galore

There’s a wonderful sale going on right now of over twenty clean fairy tale retellings. This will only last for a few more days, so if you want a chance to stock your ereader on discounted retellings, be sure to go here.

New Series Sneak Peek

I’m just going to ignore the fact that The Shattered Lands and The Redwyn Chronicles are coming to an end next year and instead offer you a chance to choose a sneak peek into the upcoming 2026 series. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you’ll know I sent May’s newsletter a few weeks ago. What you may have missed, because there was a ton going on in that newsletter, is that I am planning to give my newsletter subscribers a special, subscriber-only freebie that is tied to the 2026 series. This freebie will be available to all newsletter subscribers in August or September.

Here’s where you come in. You can vote for which fairy tale retelling you’d like the freebie to be. Scroll through that newsletter until you find the announcement and be sure to fill out that form. I will announce the winning fairy tale in June’s newsletter. There are two that are nearly neck-to-neck, so if there’s a fairy tale you love that you’d like to see be retold as the newsletter magnet, let me know via that form!

How has your May gone? Right now, mine is rainy and windy and did I mention rainy? Good for the grass, not so good for my poor little green bean seedlings that need more sun than they’re getting. What books in the sales event piqued your interest? Are there any authors you hadn’t heard of?

IRON: One Year + Sale

8 Comments

Today is IRON’s one year anniversary! It’s difficult to comprehend that, only a year ago, this book was published.

In honor of this occasion, IRON’s ebook is on sale for $0.99. You can find that here. If you’d like to see some lovely fan art by two incredibly talented artists, you can find that here.

IRON: Fun Facts

  • IRON is my first completed fairy tale retelling.
  • While there are some little nods to the Disney animated version, the majority was inspired by the two original versions. In one of these versions, there are three doves who help the Cinderella character. You could say they’re her fowl godmothers. In IRON, these doves are represented by Madam Teal, Pipit, and Birdie…all of whom bear bird types for names.
  • IRON was originally intended to be part of a two-story book, meaning it and KEY’s original story were supposed to be published together in the same book.
  • IRON’s inspiration came from a picture on Pinterest talking about a detective investigating every fairy tale. A few different plots were bounced around before the story as you know it came into being and went its merry way.
  • I wanted to illustrate two different types of strong heroines. Today, we’re bombarded with two different “heroine” versions: 1) where the women can beat a man at anything, whether it’s arm-wrestling, hand-to-hand, etc. 2) where all they do is scream. I wanted to show women that, whether you’re a fighter like Red or a quieter soul like Chamonix, you can be a strong heroine no matter what.

IRON Warnings

As I’ve said from the beginning, IRON is a New Adult Christian fantasy fairy tale retelling. YA can read it, but my target audience is new adults/adults.

IRON also addresses the topic of human trafficking. There is nothing gratuitous or explicit.

Also, if you dislike heavy Christian content, clean romance, flawed characters, and lots of action and adventure, this book isn’t for you.

About IRON

GOODREADS

AMAZON

Do you prefer more traditional retellings or retellings that “go beyond” the fairy tale being retold? If you could choose between being a sarcastic detective with terrible hair, a princess with breathing issues, or a smithy with confidence problems, who would you rather be?
