Selina's Indie Book Holiday Gift Guide 2021

Selina's Indie Book Holiday Gift Guide 2021 header image

Hello! I have posted on my very neglected blog, and let me just say, I'm very proud of this Indie Book Gift Guide post! It has a bit of an interactive side to it and I put a lot of time and effort into making it (so y'all go check it out so I don't have to cry 😉 jk, jk).

Check it out here: https://selinargonzalez.com/bookguide...

This post features 25 self-pubbed or small press books or series with their genres, a quick idea of what it's like (ex: cute, intense, twisty, great worldbuilding), and the interactive part is 25 fun, silly categories to help you find a book that might interest you or someone you're shopping for! (Ex: Somehow who is (a)... Dog Lover, Musically Inclined, Pyromaniac)

Whether you're looking for gift ideas or for yourself, I hope you find it fun. 😊

I definitely could have included so many more books because I kept thinking of more! But...gotta stop somewhere, and one for every day of December through Christmas seemed good!

And keep an eye out, as a couple of the entries have free novellas available where you can get a taste of the world and characters and at least one of the ebooks is discounted! :D

Again, you can check it out here: https://selinargonzalez.com/bookguide...

New FREE Ebook for Newsletter Subscribers!

Hello, lovely readers! If you enjoyed A Thieving Curse and wished you could have gotten into Alex's head more, I have just the thing for you!

The Dragon Prince's Heart: An A Thieving Curse Companion Novella retells the beginning of ATC from Alex's point-of-view, and you can get it for free by subscribing to my newsletter!
https://selinargonzalez.com/newslette...

About:
For Alexander Tallon, being a crown prince is a distant memory. Cursed to have dragon features and turn into a savage beast when he loses control of his emotions, Alex lives a quiet life in a mountain cave with the former servants who have become like family. When one of his nightmares causes him to seek peace in a midnight flight, he instead stumbles across a young woman in need of rescuing who brings chaos into his life. But the girl is a princess on her way to marry the cousin who took Alex's place as prince, and Alex can't let that wedding happen if he is to stay alive, protect his friends, and keep Princess Raelyn out of the castle of a murderer. But the stubborn princess doesn't trust him, and the conflicting emotions her presence elicits make the dragon inside more volatile...

This novella covers the beginning of A Thieving Curse from Alex's perspective, and is best enjoyed after ATC, but can be read first if you don't mind minor spoilers.
