Reason for stopping: my tummy is ouchy. I haven’t been feeling well all day, in fact. Ugh.

More words tomorrow. And hopefully, no more ouchy-tummy.

Book Birthday: MERLYN’S RAVEN!

Ooo, book birthdays! Always an exciting time for an author, and for me, this one is especially exciting as I saw an early draft of this book. Plus, Rose is a good friend, and so that makes this book birthday doubly-special!

The synopsis: Falling in love is the ultimate magic. For Gwendydd, a young woman in 5th century Wales, it seems an unobtainable fantasy. She dreads the day her chieftain grandfather will marry her off to increase his allies among the warring tribes of Britain. When she meets the mysterious and handsome druid apprentice Myrddin, Gwendydd realizes just how difficult falling in love can be. The ire of her disapproving grandfather is not her only obstacle. Myrddin’s clairvoyant visions of a king who will unify the battling tribes and bring peace to the land become a dangerous obsession that threatens to obliterate their union. Can Gwendydd support her beloved, the man destined to become the world’s most powerful enchanter, King Arthur’s legendary Merlyn? Or will her devotion destroy her and everything she holds dear?

And, do check out the trailer!

Happy book-birthday, Rose, and welcome to the world, MERLYN’S RAVEN!

The Right and the Real: Trailer Reveal!

Today is the day Joelle Anthony releases the book trailer for her new novel THE RIGHT AND THE REAL to the world. And, it just so happens that it’s always Joelle’s birthday! Please give this fantastic book trailer a watch, and join me in wishing Joelle a very happy birthday!

Want to know more about THE RIGHT AND THE REAL?

Here’s the synopsis:

Kicked out for refusing to join a cult, seventeen-year-old Jamie must find a way to survive on her own.
Jamie should have known something was off about the church of the Right and the Real from the start, especially when the Teacher claimed he wasn’t just an ordinary spiritual leader, but Jesus Christ, himself. But she was too taken by Josh, the eldest son of one of the church’s disciples, and his all-American good looks. Josh is the most popular boy at school too, and the first boy outside the drama geeks to give Jamie a second look. But getting her Dad involved in a cult was not part of the plan when she started dating Josh. Neither was her dad’s marriage to the fanatic Mira, or getting kicked out, or seeing Josh in secret because the church has deemed her persona non grata.

Jamie’s life has completely fallen apart. Finding her way back won’t be easy, but when her Dad gets himself into serious trouble, will Jamie be ready to rescue him, and maybe even forgive him?
