To be a Fae Guardian Cover Reveal Bonus Info
Hi! It's cover reveal day for my upcoming release, To be a Fae Guardian! I wanted to give my Goodreads followers some extra love.
First, thanks to Shower of Schmidt Designs for the amazing cover. Little known fact, the first cover of the series was modified from a pre-made cover with an ice queen. Eleanor added wings, some brilliant auburn hair, and the princess turned Queen Titania came alive. For this cover, Eleanor went back into her mixing lab and created a new view of Titania. And I love the back cover image that shows Titania in front of a full moon. You can see it on my website blog post here:
https://triciacopeland.com/to-be-a-fa...
We meet some more of Titania's family members in To be a Fae Guardian. Three younger cousins who are daughters of her mother's sister. They are Gatuika, 15, Makani, 14, and Isla, 13. If you know my books you'll remember that I like to name characters after traits they have. So I wonder if you can figure out what may be special about these cousins! I'd love to hear your guesses!
Comment below with what you think about these special cousins.
Until next time, happy reading!

She may be the only fae standing between her realm and the evil lurking below. Will Titania be given the power she needs?
Titania defeats a group of creatures threatening to colonize Middle Earth. In ending them she broke not one but two edicts of the High Council. But justice may fall on the only person holding the key to her ability to defend the fae.
The evil spirits manifesting the terrorists lurk below, lying in wait to strike again. With loss of a much-needed ally, she lacks freedom to learn what the realm may be facing. Worse yet, many, even some most trusted compatriots, distance themselves from the reckless Queen she’s painted to be.

Excited for the YA Book Central Review
It's always awesome to get reviews but getting a review from a staff reviewer at YA Books Central is really exciting for me!
Here's what Jan Farnworth, Staff Reviewer from YA Books Central thought about To be a Fae Queen...
'Final Verdict:
This coming-of-age story contains thrilling adventures, excellent vs. evil situations, drama, loss, deceit, family, friendship, and love. The maps are a real selling point to travel through this novel and help you imagine that these places exist alongside the current locations. I also enjoyed that this character is only 15 and continues to act like one as she makes choices about the realm she has been given to lead. She is also headstrong and determined to stick by the goals she sets for how she wants to rule."
To be a Fae Queen
Happy reading and listening (audiobook lovers)!

First look at Ink and Incantation, A YA Anthology featuring books & libraries
Happy summer! I just created the first book trailer video for my young adult short story, The Story Weavers, that will be featured in the anthology, Ink and Incantation, this summer.
I'm super excited about the anthology as a great list of YA fantasy authors have contributed stories. Today I wanted to share a bit more about my story, The Story Weavers.
Here's the story blurb...
A bookstore owner and a bored teen form a mystical connection in the fantastical short story.
When Aiden’s fingers brush the bookstore owner’s, he sees a dead woman. Freaked out, he avoids the shop but ends up back there due to a cruel twist of fate. As he leaves, a strange story whispers through his mind about a medieval soldier who falls hopelessly in love with a princess and desperately tries to get her attention.
Yawn, Aiden thinks.
The bookstore owner’s eyes go wide. Yawn? Where had that voice come from?
Read The Story Weavers to discover this endearing kinship.
I created a YouTube video book trailer as well so subscribe to my channel to discover more about Ink and Incantations.

New YA Fantasy Audiobook To be a Fae Guardian
I'm so excited that To be a Fae Guardian is on audiobook. It follows the first in the series produced by The Audio Flow and narrated again by Jillian Yetter who is perfect for this role. I could totally listen to her read this story all day!
I wanted to share some review from To be a Fae Guardian...
5* Charity, Amazon – Enchanting and Enthralling
I read the first book in this series and loved it, so I was anxious to read "to be a Fae Guardian." It did not disappoint. There is so much to love in this book: the characters, the world, the magic, the political intrigue, and the romance. I loved the world-building because it is just as stunning as it was before, and the characters are so real and life-like. I continue to love how Titania has come into her own as queen and continues to mature beyond her years. The inclusion of other magical creatures as well as Fae magic elevates the plot and adds to the mystique of Middle Earth.
"To be a Fae Guardian" is an enchanting and enthralling read, and I think readers who enjoyed the first book in the series will be enchanted by this book too.
5* Karen, Amazon
Another masterfully written book by Tricia Copeland. Once I started the book, I couldn’t wait to finish it. Tricia does a clever job of creating many emotions for you to experience as you read. Looking forward to the next book.
5* Julia, Amazon - Mature, diplomatic, engaging fantasy main character. you don't see that a lot!!
I'm definitely invested in reading the other books in this series. What a treat to see such a well-balanced cast, realistic drama that isn't forced, with a plot that in my opinion used ALL that time to do important character things.
It is so exciting as an author to get this feedback and know that readers are loving your work.
Dive into the realm of the fae with the Realm Chronicles and To be a Fae Guardian or if you haven't started the series, To be a Fae Queen!

Title: Kingdom of Embers
Author: Tricia Copeland
Genre: YA Fantasy
Publisher: True Bird Publishing LLC
Editor: Jo Michaels, Indie Books Gone Wild
Hosted by: Lady Amber's Reviews & PR
Blurb:
Her pale skin and weird diet make her a target at school. If only they, and she, knew the truth…
Seventeen-year-old Alena Scott is tired of pretending to be something she’s not. As an outlawed vampire-witch hybrid, she’s forced to abide by the oppressive secrecy imposed by her Vampire Chancellor mother. But she’ll have to ignore the rules when she comes face-to-face with a handsome, full-grown version of her childhood imaginary friend.
Shocked that he recognizes her as his own pretend play pal, the two embark on a quest to solve the mystery of their fantasized companionship. And as they unravel their entwined destinies, Alena realizes she holds the key to a curse which could free them all—or condemn witchkind to eternal suffering.
Can Alena and her impossibly familiar partner reverse an ancient spell before they’re sent to a mortal grave?
Kingdom of Embers is the first book in the enthralling Kingdom Journals YA urban fantasy series. If you like intriguing characters, shadowy magic, and a fresh twist on modern vampire storylines, then you’ll love Tricia Copeland’s heart-stopping tale.
