Launch Day: The People the Fairies Forget

PFF Orange Grove Cover - SmallIt’s Launch Day for my third novel, The People the Fairies Forget, another volume in my Beyond the Tales series.  But don’t worry if you haven’t read the first two–you can pick this one up first, if you’re so inclined.  🙂

Here’s where you can find it: Paperback, Kindle and Smashwords (for other ebooks)

There will be interviews and guest posts coming up in the next few weeks answering more questions about the book and the inspiration behind it.  But for the moment, in case you missed it earlier, here’s the back-of-the-book blurb to tell you a bit of what it’s all about…

Tarragon isn’t your typical fairy. He scoffs at gossamer wings and he never, ever sparkles. Plus, he’s much more interested in common folk than in anyone wearing a crown. All he wants to do is enjoy good food and good parties, but he can’t quite resist sparring with his cousin Marjoram, a typical Good Fairy if there ever was one. Against his better judgment, Tarry becomes the reluctant defender of the ordinary people Marj is trampling underfoot in her efforts to help the royalty.

That includes people like Jack, a goatherd stuck on the opposite side of a mass of thorns from his true love Emmy, a maid in Sleeping Beauty’s castle. Or Catherine, who has no desire to marry a very un-charming prince just because her shoe size matches some girl he danced with. Or Anthony, whose youngest sister Beauty got involved with a great and terrible Beast.

Tarry has to set down his supper, brush up on his magic and his arguments, and try for once to wrangle some kind of Happily Ever After out of the mess.

Feasting Around the Blogosphere

PFF Orange Grove Cover - SmallAs you (hopefully) know, my next novel will be published one week from today!  I always like to celebrate a new novel (and spread the word) with a blog tour, with guest posts and interviews on other blogs.  So far I’ve done a Blog Wander and a Blog Waltz 🙂 and this time, I’m calling it a Blog Banquet–because my narrator, Tarry, really loves good parties and excellent food.  So think of this as a kind of Movable Feast, with each course of the written banquet on another blog!

So you know where we’ll be going, here are the lovely bloggers who are letting me visit:

I’ll let you know each time a new post is up, so keep an eye out.  And if you’d like to join the party, it’s not too late–just let me know! 🙂

A Beyond the Tales Update on an Atypical Fairy

Hello talented, discerning and patient readers of fantasy novels!  It’s been a while since I last updated on my next book…the third installment in my Beyond the Tales series, The People the Fairies Forget.  I’ve been hoping to share the cover soon–but it’s still under wraps for final edits.  So today I’m offering up the spine and back of the book instead–which is exciting too, because it has more details on the plot than I’ve previously announced…

Author Event: Book Signing!

A few weeks ago, I was very honored to have my first book signing!  Collaborating with two author friends, we held a signing at a local book store.

All three of us had a fantastic time, and it was so great to see all the people who came out to support and buy books.  We had a busy store and very happy authors. 🙂

And of course I brought a camera! Continue reading “Author Event: Book Signing!”
