The Launch for RESCUE
I know information on the launch for RESCUE has been slow coming, but I think I’ve finally gotten it figured out.

You asked such amazing questions, I wanted to get to as many as possible and answer them as best as I can. I also wanted the answers to be available to you and to teachers and young writers.
So…
Beginning on Wednesday, Feb 24th, I will release videos here and on YouTube, each one with a different focus. The links will be permanent.
I will not be having a live event for RESCUE, but I will this fall for the release of the fifth Ascendance book. However, I will cover all the same topics in these videos as I would in a live event, so I hope you will watch and enjoy them all!

Two Weeks Til RESCUE!
I’ll be honest. I really wanted to do an Ascendance Valentine’s Day story for today’s post, but every time I tried, there was an interruption. So one will come but it’s gonna be late.
Which is fine, because I’m actually releasing RESCUE in only TWO WEEKS! So please enjoy today’s pic and please consider getting your own copy.

RESCUE – Chp Read Aloud
Congratulations to Priyanka, who won an ARC of RESCUE based on last week’s random drawing!
All of your comments were super helpful! I have a plan now, and I will announce the details soon. In the meantime, send me any questions you want answered, about anything that I can help with: about my books, about writing, about a career as an author. You can post them below. If I use one of your questions during the launch party, you will be randomly entered in a drawing for your choice of several different prizes.
However, that will only apply to the first person who gets the question in. Repeat questions, even if they’re awesome, won’t be entered.
In the meantime, I have done a reading of chapter from RESCUE (coming March 2nd!). I hope you’ll like it!

RESCUE, Quote 3
Hi friends, I need your advice. If I did any sort of launch party for this book, in what format should I do it?
YouTube? A Zoom meetup? Facebook live? A day-long celebration over this blog and all social media? Any other ideas?
RESCUE comes out on March 2nd, so I probably need to decide on this pretty quick!
Seriously, I’m sorta at a loss on this one. Give me your thoughts in the comments below and I’ll randomly choose someone to win an ARC of RESCUE.
This contest will last one week. International entries are okay.

RESCUE Quote 1
Let’s start talking about RESCUE, shall we?
It’s only six weeks from being released, and I am SO EXCITED to share this book with you!
If you want to head over to my Instagram page, I’ll be doing a giveaway there this week for an ARC!
RESCUE is the story of Meg Kenyon, who lives in Nazi-occupied France during World War 2. She goes out to her barn one day and notices drops of blood leading into the barn. There, she finds a downed British Air Force pilot who has come in hopes of finding her family. He is on a mission that, if successful, could result in the rescue of her father from a Nazi prison camp. However, because of his injuries, he will not be able to complete the mission. Meg must decide whether to complete it herself. To do so, she must solve a code from her father, one that may prove as dangerous as the mission itself.

If you want to pre-order a copy (and I hope you do!), you can get it from your favorite local indie bookstore, or online shop!
As always, if you order through my local indie, The King’s English, I will sign those copies, BUT – YOU MUST PUT THE NAME YOU WANT SIGNED INTO THE COMMENTS SECTION THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS.

If you don’t, they will not know you want a signed copy and will simply send it to you. Here are other pre-order links too!

THE SHATTERED CASTLE Cover Reveal!

Here’s the summary (Spoilers below…obviously. DO NOT READ until you have completed Book 4, THE CAPTIVE KINGDOM)
King Jaron has outwitted the Prozarians and returned to his own kingdom with one secret in his pocket that not even his friends know about. He’s hoping that secret will help him finally bring stability to Carthya.
But a surprise attack on his own land — on the castle itself — reminds Jaron that nothing is easy. The Prozarian Monarch threatens to crumble Jaron’s entire kingdom. And that’s not the only thing in danger: With old enemies and new rumors circling around him, even Jaron’s relationship with Imogen is uncertain.
This former False Prince will need his best tricks and many allies at his side to hold Carthya together.
You can pre-order now from your favorite local indie bookstore or online shop. If you don’t have a favorite, choose mine! When requested, I sign all books ordered from The King’s English.
