Rare Pre-Release Opportunity!

I met Author Jaclyn Weist a few months ago at a book release. I'd never been to a book release like it...it was a St. Patrick's Day themed party! I'd brought my kids along, and I'm so glad that I did, they still talk about it! (Sorry the picture is so blurry, my son took it!)



Jaclyn Weist is an amazing author who writes family friendly fantasy. I can't wait to read her latest and go to her upcoming event here in Provo, UT!

Here's a short message and pre-release opportunity by Jaclyn Weist:



Hello everyone!

I am so excited for the paperback copies of The Princess and the Prom Queen! And I’m excited to offer YOU the chance to preorder a copy! If you’ve been wanting to read the book, but only like print copies (I admit, I love to hold the book in my hands), now is your chance!

This means that you can have a copy BEFORE it’s available on in stores or on Amazon! Isn’t that awesome???

All you need to do is email me at jaclynweist@gmail.com and let me know how many copies you’d like (and of which book, The Princess and the Prom Queen $14.99, Best of Luck $13.00) and your address. Then I will send you an invoice and you can pay me through paypal. Or if you live nearby, you can pay me in person when you pick up the books. It’s that easy!

Also, I’ll be at a family activity signing on June 2nd signing books, as well as June 21st in Provo for the Trifecta book launch.

Find out about the family activity here.

And check out the launch info here.


The blurbs for the books:



The Princess and the Prom Queen
Jenny’s had it with her life. Six siblings in an overstuffed house are enough to drive anyone crazy, and sometimes she dreams of escaping to some fantasy world. When she suddenly wakes up to find herself being kissed by a strange—but very handsome—prince, Jenny knows her life just got a lot more exciting. Now stuck in a medieval land of castles and royalty, when Jenny learns that the queen has agreed to marry her off to the prince, it’s time to take matters into her own hands. She goes on a quest to find out who dragged her to this time while trying to keep from falling in love with either of the boys vying for her attention.

Princess Genevieve has only known life under her mother’s rule. She wants to do more than go to battle or deal with suitors. She wakes to find herself in a new world filled with gadgets, electricity, and moving carriages. She finally has the freedom to be who she wants to be with a family who cares deeply for her and a boy worth any sacrifice. It’s more than everything she always wanted.

As Jenny and Genevieve settle into their new lives, they face an unknown evil which threatens everything they care about and makes them face tough questions—like who they are and what they really want their lives to become.

You can find The Princess and The Prom Queen Ebook here.



And Best of Luck:
Megan has had it with leprechauns. They want nothing more than to take over her luck—something she’s not willing to give up. After finding herself locked in a dungeon on Christmas morning, she vows to take O’Malley down.

Between trying to have a normal life in high school, and fighting various fairy tale creatures thrown in her way, Megan barely has time to breathe. But when a mysterious darkness begins to snatch the fairies and leprechauns that have protected Megan and her family, she must learn the history of her luck and defeat the bad guys once and for all.

This book releases June 1st so I don't have a purchase link for the ebook yet.

Book Review: The Princess Sisters



I really enjoyed the concept of this book! Five cousins who are as close as sisters, all named after fairytale princesses, and all struggle with ironic issues related to their namesakes. Belle has dyslexia and hates to read, Ariel is afraid of water, Aurora has insomnia, Snow White hates apples, and Cinderella refuses to wear anything but tight-laced boots that can't slip off her feet!

The story was cute, although a little dramatic, and deals with issues commonly faced by teens (bullying, crushes, friendship, betrayal, self-esteem, popularity, etc.) I especially loved how they ended up dealing with their biggest problem!

Parental Advisory: While no profanity is used, at times, the language is not appropriate for young readers. I started out listening to this audiobook with my (almost) 8 year old daughter but had to finish it without her.




Stacy Lynn Carroll has always loved telling stories. She started out at Utah State University where she pursued a degree in English, learned how to western swing, and watched as many of her fellow students became 'True Aggies'. She then finished her BA at the University of Utah where she got an emphasis in creative writing. After college she worked as an administrative assistant, where she continued to write stories for the amusement of her co-workers. When her first daughter was born, and with the encouragement of a fortune cookie, she quit her job and became a full-time mommy and writer. She and her husband have three children, two Corgis, and a fish named Don.

Doctor Who Pendant Giveaway



Aioralium love you guys so much, they're doing another giveaway for us! 


This Doctor Who Pendant (35x27mm image is 20 mm with a 3 mm tube) comes in a silver or gold tone, with your choice of image (see below images in bracelets below)










I've known Aio, of Aioralium, since elementary school! She's a huge Final Fantasy and anime fan and lives the hectic life of a mother. "This is what calms me...The mom part, it's never ending...I guess making jewelry centers me when stressed. I was looking for a hobby and I saw a pair of earrings on someone and was like, 'I can make that!' It snowballed from there." 

An insanely create person, she's been known to use almost anything in her jewelry and make it look amazing!  I once saw her use carburetor parts in a choker. It sounds crazy, but she transformed it into a work of art...a piece that something you could wear anywhere! (Pictured below) I tried to steal it from her, but she saw me coming. ;) "I won't sell it, it's one of the very first pieces I made."



She says she'll use "anything that strikes my fancy but I lean toward metals and natural stone the most. I love to scavenge old jewelry and pick it apart." She is notorious for hording jewelry parts. "I just know I'll want it for something, even if I don't know what at the time."

A superhero love story? Sign me up!


Hey, howdy, hey! Nicole Zoltack here and I'm so happy to share with you the cover for WHITE HELLEBORE. The second book in the Heroes of Falledge trilogy kicks off with an amazing cover.
 
All right, all right, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I know you're dying to see it!

 

 


Told you it was awesome! I'm not biased at all. Nope. Not even a little bit.

After destroying Skull Krusher, Nicholas Adams thinks Falledge is safe and becomes a security guard at the museum, watching a valuable statue. Unfortunately, the Egyptian statue houses the soul of a scorned witch, biding her time to have her revenge on the descendants of her cheating lover.
 
Kiya the witch isn't the only new foe in town as the drug that created Skull Krusher has now transformed a scientist into yet another monster, forcing Nicholas to don his Black Hellebore mask again and save Falledge.

Nicholas has no help this time as Kiya gains possession of his love Julianna's body and brings the soul of Justina, Nicholas's high school sweetheart and Julianna's twin, with her. Despite himself, Nicholas is torn between the sisters. If he can't stop the fiends from taking over the world and destroying humankind, he'd never be able to find lasting, true love.

So I'm sure you're dying to know the release date and luckily it's not that far away! WHITE HELLEBORE releases April 21st! Be sure to grab it on the 21st! :D
