New Release and FREE ebook!

 

NEW RELEASE!!

Wednesday, July 15, the next Tabor Heights novel, ACCIDENTAL HEART, releases from Mt. Zion Ridge Press.

You can get the ebook or paperback direct from the publisher, or go to my website, Ye Olde Dragon Books, for the ebook.

Copy me on the receipt, and you'll receive the newest Tabor Heights short story FREE in ebook form.

SILVER HEARTS tells the story between the chapters, in the Tabor Heights Novel, BEHIND THE SCENES.
Rose Weinberg, Joel Randolph's widowed sister, shows up just in time to help during the family crisis. Her father throws her out of the house for supporting her brother (sort of a Jazz Singer situation, where he chose to go into theater instead of becoming a lawyer and taking over their father's firm). A rejected suitor tracks Rose down, at the same time she starts up a pleasant new friendship with an elderly gentleman in town. Who will win her heart?

Oh yeah, what's ACCIDENTAL HEARTS about? Well, a bunch of silly and sometime embarrassing accidents and incidents keep throwing Tyler Sloane, community theater direction, and Abby Morgan, small plane pilot, together. They want to get to know each other better, but family commitments and a crazy-busy summer and all those accidents keep getting in the way. What will it take to finally make that connection they've both been longing for?

Check out the book at these addresses, send the receipt to my email, and get your free ebook!!!

KICKSTARTER UPDATE

 

Every few days, I'm posting snippets from the book in the update section of the Kickstarter.

Today's update was a piece from The Ether Lexicon, the source of Fae knowledge and advice. (Ever wondered how the Fae communicate between dimensions and realms? Scry globes!!)

Entries from the Ether Lexicon are included in the special edition hardback, and will be collected into an ebook, appropriately titled The Ether Lexicon, given away to all backers as a Stretch Goal reward -- and will eventually be offered as an ebook, later in the year.

Reminder: I'll have early release copies of the book, both paper and hardback special edition, at the Realm Makers Conference, during the Expo, June 26-27, at the St. Louis Union Station.

But you know, you're better off getting all the goodies and extras if you pledge to the Kickstarter .... just saying!

Blast from the Past -- to celebrate LAUNCH DAY

 BLAST FROM THE PAST!

This is a video I made for an earlier version of All's Fae -- with a different publisher.
Since then, I've added to the stories, tweaked some things, added fun new material.
The SPECIAL EDITION hardback of All'S Fae has entries frm the Ether Lexicon, the Fae source of all knowledge and advice.

Enjoy!

But don't try to find the publisher -- Uncial Press closed their doors several years ago. I miss them! They were great to work with!

Monday is LAUNCH DAY!

 

MONDAY is launch day!

Movie review: The Sheep Detectives

 

I highly recommend The Sheep Detectives.

Based on a German books translated into English as Three Bags Full, if you're into finding the books behind the movies. I know I'm interested enough.

What's it about? George, a shepherd, loves his sheep. He reads to them every night -- detective stories.

So when George is apparently killed, his sheep decide to set about using what they've learned to find the killer.

Lots of fun, some tender movies, some sad moments. Even some very corny and obvious jokes. Such as the time 2 of the sheep are standing by the side of the road. They've never left their pasture before, they've never seen a road before, and they're terrified to cross. And in the middle of their paralysis, along comes a chicken that clucks and struts right across. They never do say WHY the chicken crossed the road...

Or there's the time the butcher who wants to get his hand on George's flock is parked by the side of the road, counting all the sheep he thinks will soon be his, and ... you guessed it ... he falls asleep!

Prepare to Launch!

 

Many moons ago, I wrote a handful of silly short stories about Fae living among Humans, falling in love and dealing with malfunctioning magic, curses, interfering relatives,  and other assorted problems.

The original collection has been out of print for years, and the e-publisher that took it over has closed their doors too.

HOWEVER ....

I've revised the stories, expanded them, and added maybe 30K mor words. The stories are sillier than ever, plus I've got some pseud-academic writings giving the inside scoop on Fae life, culture, history, and biology.

What's it about?

The Fae are back! Out and about in the modern world.

Addicted to love -- and chocolate!

Who are they?

Glori, a daycare teacher with malfunctioning magic meets Lance, an exterminator, cursed to turn into a cute little mouse at the dark of the moon, and searching for a Faerie princess's kiss to break the spell.

Alexi, a Fae with fading magic, hiding in Las Vegas, needs a job to survive, and meets Megan, a half-blood Fae working as a magician.

Kevyn, an actor who refuses to follow the family tradition and become a lawyer, gets kidnapped by Sophie, an academic with pointed ears and weird relatives, who is doing her doctoral thesis on magic.

When the Fae queen dies of poisoned chocolate, Epsi, an agoraphobic Fae, is one of the many suspects. Guber, with a claim to a throne he doesn't want, works to prove her innocent. But can they protect each other from the lunatic fringe and the real murderer?

With the Fae, chocolate is a universal cure, but can it cure their woes and help them find true love?

Find out, when All's Fae in Love and Chocolate.

Now in pre-launched at Kickstarter, ALL'S FAE IN LOVE AND CHOCOLATE is available for some serious eyeballing. Please check it out, and maybe drool a little over the possibilities waiting for you to claim.

Launch day is planned for June 1, with lots of extra goodies if pledges pass the line for stretch goals!
