Pagan Writers Press Anniversary Party with Giveaways






This week is a big landmark for my publisher, Pagan Writers Press. They are celebrating their first anniversary! Around this time last year, I was anxiously awaiting news from them about Phantom, which actually turned out to be the very first fiction novel they accepted! I also have Morrigan coming out with them on Halloween and Demon which is set to release sometime in the spring.



To celebrate this landmark occasion, Pagan Writers Press has launched a virtual birthday party, but the publisher, authors, and editors are the ones giving out the presents! We will be celebrating with excerpts, character interviews, author/editor interviews, and giveaways!! Here are just two of the prize packs that will be up for grabs.

YA Novel Readers Book Tour & Giveaway









As part of the Young Adult Novel Readers Tour, I am giving away a signed
copy of Phantom along with a  porcelain mask figurine,  a geode, two
crystal points, a sterling silver pentacle charm, two boxes of incense,
and an incense holder.  Below is a picture of what you can win.














You can enter to win the giveaway at any of the stops on the tour, including one of my favorite new blogs, Aobibliosphere. Ao will be posting his review on 10/8, and I excited to hear a male perspective, since most of my readers seems to be women.









where to purchase the book:



Amazon (paperback, Kindle)
Barnes and Noble (paperback, NOOK book)
Smashwords






Synopsis:


The “Phantom” was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found
enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play
that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses
“Phantom” as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the
middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker
who uses the lines from the play as their calling card.




Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like
her character, she is torn between her two co-stars—Tom the surfer and
basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely
appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured
artist.




Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both
on and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are
hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca
receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is
Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real
life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca
doesn’t know who to trust, but she knows she’s running out of time as
she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is
stripped away, will the twenty first century phantom finally be
revealed.

Morrigan Now Available!




There were  few delays, but Morrigan has finally been released! You can order the e-book version on Amazon, Barnes & Noble or Smashwords for only $3.99.  The print copies will be available sometime next week. To get a little taste of what Morrigan is all about, check out the blurb and excerpt below.





 Blurb



Shuffled from place to place in the foster system, Morrigan doesn't know
the meaning of home. Plus, she is different. She has power over fire,
the ability to move objects with her mind, and glimpse into the future.
Just when she believes her life can’t get any stranger, she discovers
her true identity.

Filtiarn, a knight with a dark past and a
surprising secret, has been tasked with guiding the heir of Tír na NÓg
through countless perils to be returned to her family. Once Morrigan has
been reunited with her mother and grandmother, their triad can save the
forgotten land of magic from being devoured by an ancient evil.





 Excerpt








“Guardians!” A low snarl emanated from the back of his
throat. “What are you doing with Guardians?”





“Stop it! Sit down!” 





Morrigan wasn’t sure who she was addressing, the man or the
animals. Luckily, they both obeyed her command. She stepped in between them to
avoid any further confrontations. The cats took a seat on either side her legs,
but their posture hardly relaxed. They still glared warily at the newcomer,
even though their hisses died down to an occasional soft growl. 





“Dirty, filthy beasts!” Tiarn snarled as he climbed to his
feet. “I hate Guardians.” 





“They’re just little cats,” Morrigan told him. “What’s the
big deal?”





“Just cats! Hah!” He was standing at a careful distance,
even though they had started licking their paws nonchalantly. “They are much
more than simple cats! Though even those I find distasteful.”


 Morrigan narrowed her
eyes. “What do you mean?”





“Never mind. It does not matter.” Tiarn dismissed her
question with a wave of his hand. “They are not coming with us.





 “They most certainly
are coming!” 





Tiarn growled again. “I beg to differ with you, Your
Highness. They would only get in the way. 
Possibly even get killed.”





Danu raised her head from her grooming to hiss at him again,
as though she had taken that last statement as a personal threat. The strange
reaction of her faithful sidekicks made Morrigan wonder again just how much
Tiarn could be trusted. She also wondered why, when she wasn’t sure she could
trust him, she still felt the undeniable urge to wrap her arms around his neck
and kiss him.





 “If they stay here
alone, they’ll definitely get killed or at least sent to the pound,” Morrigan
told him. “I can’t let that happen. So, they’re coming. End of story.”





Tiarn’s eyes flashed dangerously, and he looked like he
wanted to argue, but thought better of it. “Very well, Princess. Bring your
mongrel felines. Just keep in mind that Guardians and lycans do not mix well.”


 


“Lycans?” Morrigan repeated. 





A sick feeling started to settle in her stomach, as the
truth of his words sunk in. It all started to make sense—his hairy arms and
chest, his reaction to the cats, even his earlier comment about smelling her out.
Her dark knight had a much darker side than she had ever seen in her dreams.





 “Why yes, Your
Majesty. Did you not realize? You are a witch and a sorceress. And I, your
faithful traveling companion, am a lycan—a werewolf.”
