(I do have to admit that I did not bake these; they came from a local grocery store. But I will learn how to bake them someday!)
Max
I’ve mentioned before that the Doubleclicks are a nerd-pop-folk-rock sister duo, but I don’t talk enough about their secret weapon…Max, the cat keyboard. They’ve just released a cover version of a certain theme most of you know, and Max is in full force here. (Perfect music for your next trip to Cattooine…)
But I still think I like this cover version they did of a certain theme most of you know even better.

Happy Easter Sunday catchup! Hope all of you enjoyed your candy! Or will enjoy the half-off sales on Monday like me. I had a happy Easter surprise this morning, when I got to see how far Willow’s come on drawing the cover for the upcoming sixth Monkey Queen book, The Crown Of Kylthena. You may want to put on extra socks when this book comes out, because this cover will knock them off! More after the cut. Continue reading

Relics
It was an era of magic and wonder, of stories lost to the ages, of epic deeds and tales. There were giants in those days. And there were great relics to behold.
Some try to claim these relics never existed…
But they did. They truly did.

Going Wide IV: Redblade…and thanks!
Today is the day that Redblade, the fifth Monkey Queen book, goes wide! You can now get it through Kobo, iTunes, and DriveThruFiction! It should be available shortly on Barnes & Noble, for your Nook, and other webstores worldwide. And you can still buy Redblade, and all the other Monkey Queen books, through Amazon!
Today is also a special day for me. If you don’t know the story: On March 16, 2013, I found the material I had written for a comic book series that never took off and, after reviewing it, realized it could work as a book. The next day, three years ago today, I typed these words into my tablet: “It was another crappy Friday for Beth McGill.” Three years and five books later I’m still writing, with two books and a secret project in progress, and still having the time of my life.
Thank you to you – the fans, the readers, the people who have taken a time to drop me a line or leave a comment or review, the people who have encouraged and supported me. Special thanks, first and foremost, to Willow! And also to Calomiel, Shei Darksbane, Kate Danley, Meri Amber, the crew at KBoards, Stan Sakai, Studio Foglio, Cora and Jessica at the Speculative Fiction Showcase, the enigmatic “M”, everyone else I may have overlooked…and of course to you!
Stay tuned! Don’t touch that dial! 2016 is still going to be amazing for all us! And thanks again.
