The Summer Sale: Get Under The Stars Of Faerie for 99 cents US!

Beth could see the terminal, the other airships, the gloriously clear sky above, and Dawnhome below her, and she tried to take it all in, remember it all. She noticed the young pixie from the elevator was near her, sitting on her father’s shoulders, beaming with joy. Then, she looked at Michiko, standing next to her, and saw that her friend’s smile mirrored the young pixie’s, and her own. “You were right!” Michiko said. “This is awesome!” Beth nodded, too happy and thrilled to speak, as Folly’s Flight climbed, banked left and headed north.

The countdown is on…again! US readers can now get the third Monkey Queen book, Under The Stars Of Faerie, for 99 cents at Amazon.com! This is a Kindle Countdown deal, and it ends at 11:59 PM PST on Wednesday, July 29, so don’t wait! And look for this wonderful cover by Willow!

MQ3 cover big

“You were right about her. She is a hero.”

When a love-crazed gremlin kidnaps pixie waitress Mandy, Michiko Koyama, a.k.a. the Monkey Queen, and her partner in adventure Beth McGill journey to Faerie to rescue their friend. Circumstances force them to ally with the crew of a pirate airship, led by the mysterious Captain Ash. Dangers await them in the sky, on the ground and in their hearts.

And an old enemy waits for them, his trap set and ready to be sprung…and it could mean the end of the Monkey Queen.

Last chance! Get The Brigadoon Boondoggle for 99 cents US!

It may be the end for Michiko and Beth…and it’s the end of this sale! Today is the last day for US fans to get the second Monkey Queen book, The Brigadoon Boondoggle, for just 99 cents at Amazon.com! This sale will end at 11:59 PM PST tonight, so don’t wait! And enjoy this excerpt from Chapter Three!

The skinny man with the British accent and the sandshoes stood in front of the blue police box and smiled. “It’s all yours, Beth,” he said. “Everywhere, everywhen. And all you have to do is come inside.” As he spoke, the door to the police box swung open.

“Do not be fooled, Beth McGill!” They both turned and saw the old, bearded man with the gray pointed hat and matching robes strike the ground with his staff. “Your place is by my side! Faithful companions! Epic quests! The world is yours!”

The skinny man snorted. “One world? I can give her galaxies!”

“And endless danger! You attract trouble everywhere you go!”

“I do not!”

“You take a vacation on a beach and a sharknado touches down!”

“Look who’s talking! You lost how many on that first quest? Three out of thirteen?”

“But only one on the second! It’s not that—”

“Enough prattle.”

Shadows swept out of nowhere and engulfed the two men, ending their argument. Beth felt a moment of regret—she had been enjoying that dream quite a bit—but it faded quickly. She shivered. She knew that voice.

The shadows seemed to take form as a woman walked out from them. She wore a flowing black robe, her hair was long and black, and her eyes held a cruel joy. “Beth McGill,” Muirin said. “We meet again.” She smiled.

“How—” Beth started to say.

“How did I get into your dream?” Muirin strolled casually towards Beth. “I walk through shadows, and your dreams are filled with them. It’s very exhausting, but revenge will be worth it.”

The time has come for you to be…Awakened

It’s here! It’s here! You can now buy Awakened, the first book in Shei Darksbane and Annathesa Nikola Darksbane’s exciting new urban fantasy series, Auralight Codex! Look for this great cover!

5.0

Geeky lesbian Dakota Shepherd was just a bored night security guard, working at a museum in Knoxville, Tennessee until one fateful encounter changed it all. 

A rogue wizard. A demonic ritual. A silver chalice. 

Dakota Awakened, Hellfire blazing from her hands. 

Dakota’s powers are a danger to herself and everyone around her, and she has to learn to control them quickly or risk losing her one chance to finally fulfill a lifelong dream.

While coming to terms with her new reality, she stumbles upon a secret that changed the course of her life. 

Now she wants to know who is responsible for the holes in her memory, the blocks that hold back her powers, and all the years she spent alone.

Who put her back to sleep when she Awakened years before?
