Little Free Library Update

[image error]There’s Reflection: The Stranger in the Mirror on top of the stack!

Two years ago, I dropped off a copy of the first edition of my book, Reflection: The Stranger in the Mirror, in the Little Free Library that stands beside the local bike trail. (See the original post from August 2015 here.) I wrote an inscription on the inside in the hopes of one day hearing from someone who happened to pick up the book. Weeks passed, then months and years, and I assumed that the book must have disappeared somewhere along it’s journey.

And then–just last week–something amazing happened. This appeared on Instagram…

You can imagine my surprise at seeing one of the few original copies of my book make an appearance after so many years. But this wasn’t simply one of the originals…

…it was the copy I left in the Little Free Library. And where did this book end up?

Australia. Yes, Australia.

Who knows what journey it took or how many hands it passed through between the little box by the bike trail in Ohio and it’s new home with @ letters_from_neverland in “the Land Down Under,” but I’m so happy to learn that, after all this time, it has found its way into a loving bookworm’s hands. ❤

For all you physical book lovers, the time has finally come–the paperback edition of Reflection: Dragon’s Bane is now available! Pay no attention to the boxes and packing material in the background. I may or may not have shredded them in my haste to see the books.

You can find both editions listed together on Amazon, or just click here to get Reflection: Dragon’s Bane in paperback format.

The cover turned out amazingly well, once again thanks to West Coast Design. And if you’re curious, here’s the back cover (click the image to see the full version if you want to be able to read the blurb more easily)…

Release Day Celebration! The Four Days, Four Books Sale Begins!

[image error]I’m so excited that the release day for Reflection: Dragon’s Bane (Records of the Ohanzee Book 4) has finally arrived! The ebook version is now available on Amazon and the paperback will be available shortly. I see a few eager readers even snagged early copies when the book posted ahead of schedule yesterday afternoon. Thank you!! ❤

It isn’t linked up to the series listing on Amazon yet, so here’s a direct link: Reflection: Dragon’s Bane

Today’s release of Dragon’s Bane not only means a new book is out, it also means that the Reflection story arc is now complete! *cue the cake and celebrations* Though this brings an ending to Nerissa’s story, it is not the end. New challenges lie in wait for her in the second story arc, Revenant, which I’ve already started working on.

As a special thank you for all of your support, I’ve included the prologue to Book 5 at the end of the E-book version of Reflection: Dragon’s Bane. I hope you’ll enjoy the sneak peek! But be warned, that prologue has a major cliffhanger (don’t all prologues?), so prepare to get hooked. ^_-

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, today also kicks off the “Four Days, Four Books” sale. Here’s the details:

The E-book version of Reflection: The Stranger in the Mirror (Records of the Ohanzee Book 1) is FREE through 11:59pm PDT on April 28.
