To Birth A Destiny – Keteria’s video

Excitement is me! This, the third book in the Sacred Knight series, is a part of the story I’ve been thinking about for years. Originally, most of it was all backstory. But as the story kept growing and revealing to me what it wanted to be, the more I realized I was actually going to have to plan it all and write it. I couldn’t just leave it as something that happened “way back when.” It is so much of the reason the world is the way it is in the first book in the series (The Three Books). This is the book that becomes the “meat of the story.”


I am so glad I finally get to show it to readers.


Here’s a sneak peek for you. To Birth A Destiny promo video from Queen Keteria’s point of view. Even if you haven’t read the books, there aren’t any real spoilers in this video. If you like this video, please check out the other videos in the series.

If nothing ever changed…

If you know the quote, finish it now with me, “…there would be no butterflies.”


Very good. :)


A dear friend of mine found this quote on some cards and some magnets. She was telling me about it and saying that she wanted a larger size.


That very night, I was walking around a thrift store and found a homemade card that was already framed up. I kid you not — that very night. I had to rush it over to her house. She wasn’t home, so I left it on her doorstep. Imagine her surprise when she came home and found it. She was even more shocked when I told her that I hadn’t made it for her, that I had found it.


Synchronicity?


Thoughts become things?


Butterflies are beautiful, wonderful, and delightful. They change from one creature into something entirely different.


Take a moment to ponder the changes that have occurred in your life. Aren’t most of them beautiful and wondrous, maybe even downright miracles?


Why is it then that we fear change so? Maybe we aren’t sure what we will become. How about we stop fearing the unknown and embrace the fact that we can go through a change and become something better than we are now? Let’s give that a try, shall we?

Now available for Kindle. Print edition will be available soon.


About the book:

No one goes up against the Norse god of mischief. It just isn’t done.

Well, not before now.

Someone has started the game and Loki can’t resist playing.

There’s just one (or two) little problems. Loki’s brother, Thor, has come for a visit. How is Loki supposed to do his assigned missions with Thor and his hammer causing so much destruction? Not to mention the news Thor brings for Loki.

It’s enough to make a god what to run into a telephone pole, which Loki will make happen if he gets a chance.

The game takes a dangerous turn when Loki is sent into a daycare to stop a transdimensional being. Loki is truly pushed over the edge when the life of a child of Midgard is put into jeopardy. It’s enough to make Loki consider breaking his parole.


For more details, please visit my Morning Sky Studios website.

Winners

Thank you to everyone who signed up for the Goodreads giveaway for 1-800-Mischief. Response really overwhelmed me. It was so exciting. Thank you again!


Books are being mailed today to those 3 lucky winners. I hope they enjoy.


Stay tuned. This has been so positive for me that I think I’ll be setting up a Goodreads giveaway of The Three Books soon to celebrate the upcoming release of the third book in the series. I also want to post pictures for several new paintings, small ones (8×10′s), that I’ve finished.


Oh, for those of you waiting for Loki’s next adventure, yes, it will be out in May. Keep watching my website for it — Loki has a bridge to sell you!
