COVER REVEAL! A Solstice of Fire and Light by Angela R. Watts

Very excited to be sharing a cover reveal for a new fantasy book by Angela R. Watts today! 

Look how beautiful this is! 

Dionne, a Gifted nomad princess, hunts the warlocks that kidnapped her brother. 

Nnamdi, a popular caravan fighter, wishes to be freed from his sins. 

After they break out of prison together and spare each other in a death match, there’s no turning back… So they board a pirate ship and hunt the Order.

When Dionne learns that the wizards that took her brother have also taken child slaves and hides them all away in her kingdom, she creates a plan with the pirates to infiltrate the Order… But when Dionne reaches the kingdom, she will be sacrificed to the gods on winter solstice.

Swept in a world of deadly magic, Nnamdi swears his protection to Dionne… But then he learns she is a princess and that her fate is sealed at the hands of a jealous wizard. Nnamdi must break his chains and unleash his Gift like never before… Or lose the only woman he’s ever loved.

Short Story Jam! (Upcoming Event)

 

I'm currently organizing a writing event and I am looking for people interested in joining! 

What is a writing jam? This is a challenge that would take place over a period of 48 hours to a week where you get together with other writers and write a short story in that amount of time. Think of it like a mini NaNoWriMo, but instead of a word count goal, it's a time limit so it's up to you whether you want to write a 500 word story or a 5000 word one.

When?

TBD but either the first or second week of August

 

Where?

Our Discord Server: Short Story Jam 2022 ( link coming soon)

 

How Long? 

From the currently gathered info, we’re probably looking at a week long Jam, possibly with a 3 day writing period and the first part of the week allotted to plotting time, but this might change the more feedback we get.

 

What am I doing?

For this Jam, you will be writing a short story in the allotted time. 

 

How do I join?

Let me know you would like to join in by contacting me through Instagram (@modern_bard67) or just filling out the form with your socials.

 

Read more Info, FAQs, and Rules HERE

 

Get your opinion in and help us solidify our plans by filling out the interest form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18Ex7OmZfanMos-8N0JrhtJJ9H3HwDWTDZVCGmxBhHCs/edit

Please share this among your writer friends! The more people we get the more fun this will be!

New Goodies Available!

 Help support the Sweet Vendetta Blues and New Emperor's Concerto 2nd edition release by getting subscriber goodies on Ko-fi.

It's no secret that publishing takes a lot of time, and can also be rather pricy. I am hoping to offer more options for all of the books, including availability, and other versions (like hardcovers!) and to do so, there will be launching costs.

So I've started offering goodies to anyone who supports me on Ko-fi. There will be new goodies each month, both physical and digital, including sneak peeks of SVB, character art, stickers, prints, bookmarks, and more! 

If you are interested, this is what I am offering for July:

Also, I want to point out that this is not actually a monthly subscription. I will just be uploading a different set of goodies each month (for $6) and you will purchase it through the Ko-Fi shop feature. The reason I decided to do this is because I'm not sure if I will continue doing monthly goodies after SVB is published, and I didn't want people to subscribe and then not get something after several months of support. Instead, this gives you the opportunity to support me for whichever month you would like to. 

All of these goodies ARE exclusive to my Ko-Fi monthly supporters though and will not be available as swag at a later date; once the month is over, these will not be available anymore. 

If you're interested and would like to help support an indie author, you can get your set of July's goodies HERE 

The chapters of SVB will be sent out to whatever email you use when you pay on Ko-Fi within a couple days, and the sticker and character cards will be sent out around mid July and then if I get more supporters, another batch at the end of the month.

Thanks for checking this out, and I am really looking forward to sharing more about Blues with you!

Coming Soon!

 

Keep an eye out because starting in July, I'm going to have a lot of stuff coming involving my upcoming book Sweet Vendetta Blues. This is a companion story set in the same universe as New Emperor's Concerto and set in America.

Dìlseachd - A Stolen Crown COVER REVEAL!

 

A forgotten princess

A stolen crown

One chance to reclaim the kingdom

I'm back with another cover reveal, this time for the first book in Cheyenne van Langevelde's new series, Princess of the Highlands.

Book One--Dìlseachd - A Stolen  Crown -- will be releasing on September 23rd 2022 but today we get to see the cover for the first time, and it looks so beautiful! I for one am definitely excited since I love Scottish history and fantasy.

A TIME OF DARKNESS

Six years since the Danes invaded Scotland, slaying her finest men. 

Five since the Highland King married one of the enemy, betraying his countrymen and losing the Lowlanders’ support. 

Three since the king died and the Danes imprisoned the remaining blood heir to the throne.

Her crown stolen, her country desolated, Fiona McCurragh now faces the looming threat of execution. 

The Lowlanders, weary of enemy rule, seek to free their stolen homeland. With the aid of a blind harper, they attempt to rescue their Highland princess when the Danes ride in on Lowlander territory, shattering the fragile peace. The Scots are left with no choice except to launch a war in the face of the coming winter. If they do not attack now, the Scots—and their princess—may not live to see the spring. 

In the face of despair, Fiona McCurragh finds courage in friendship with two chief’s sons. Yet conflict lies on more than one side, and for some of the Scots and their allies, loyalty no longer has any meaning.

You can now preorder the book and submit your proof of purchase to THIS FORM for preorder goodies!
