Our next release will be Prairie Queen, the much anticipated sequel to Mountain Princess. After the thrilling events of the first book, Talia is once again pulled into the politics of Lolland. This time, however, it's as their queen. But with the prospect of the Lolland royal family returning, Talia must try to find some way to save Hilland from them, all the while maintaining her relationship with Adrial. I hope you all look forward for this release next month.

Pre-order Prairie Queen

Did you know that we also have audiobooks? We're currently working through all our previous books, trying to include them in our current audiobook collection. But going forward, all books, including Prairie Queen, will now be released with an audiobook. These are only available on Google Play at the moment, but we are still looking into other avenues as well. Check out our Audiobook page on the website for which titles are currently available.

Another late publish on the newsletter, but this time I had an excuse. We were quite busy getting things in place for the Prairie Queen release, which is still cycling through in the back office. We're still hoping to get it out on the 10th of the month.

In other news, we are already ten chapters into the first draft of Cary Simms: The Witch Ring, which is book four of that series. So far, I'm hitting all my targeted plot points, and we're looking good to get through it as scheduled. This really is a great series, and I'm getting the feeling that this could be quite an amazing book on its own. We're starting to shape up Cary's personal journey in exploring her gender identity, feeling left out of a life that she wants, while being pushed towards one that is more expected of her. For those looking forward to that shift, it should come to fruition in book 5, The Ivory Mask, which will be coming out some time in 2024.

There are, of course, other plot items that are shifting into place with this book, exploring not only the world outside of Thorbjorg, but the conflict between the sorcerer and witch communities, and how they tend to bleed together. As the rumors circulating about Cary only get worse, she starts to feel isolated from her friends, as the norms of middle school come into play, and she gets pushed more towards where she doesn't want to go.

From the Event Desk

This year's event schedule is a bit up in the air at the moment. Jersey Pride and Collingswood are definitely happening again, and I'll let you know when I have information on those. As for IABX, I'll be re-evaluating whether or not I'll be returning there in the coming months. However, with only the three events in the area, I'm expecting a return to all three.
