Clean Teen Publishing is excited to share the print release of the second book in the THREADS OF THE MOIRAE series by Jennifer Derrick. AVENGING FATE can now be purchased in print online and in stores!
AVENGING FATE by Jennifer Derrick
READ BOOK #1: BROKEN FATE by Jennifer Derrick
Zeus gave her one simple job: Kill every human. Atropos—daughter of Zeus and the third goddess of Fate from Greek mythology —spends her eternal life snipping human lifelines when their mortal lives are over. As if being a killer doesn’t make life miserable enough, she and her Fate-wielding sisters must live amongst the humans on Earth thanks to a long-running feud between their mother and Zeus. Living on Earth means they must mingle with the mortals, attend the local high school, and attempt to fit in—or at least not stand out too much.
Killing and mingling don’t mix, which is why Atropos’ number-one rule is to avoid all relationships with the humans. Caring for the people she has to kill is a fast track to insanity. However, when Alex Morgan walks into her first-period English class, she knows she’s in for trouble. He’s the worst kind of human for her to like—one with a rapidly approaching expiration date. And he makes Atropos want to break all the rules.
ABOUT JENNIFER DERRICK:Jennifer Derrick became a writ
er at the age of six when her parents bought her a child’s typewriter for Christmas and agreed to pay her a penny per page for any stories she churned out. When she got older, Jennifer realized that she needed to make (much) more money from her writing so she first turned to the corporate world (where she learned that she is spectacularly unsuited to cubicle life) and ultimately to freelancing where she now writes everything from technical manuals to articles on personal finance and European-style board games. Her writing career came full circle when Clean Teen Publishing published Broken Fate, her first novel. By her calculations, her parents owe her about $3.00 for the book.
She lives in North Carolina and, when not writing, can often be found reading anything she can get her hands on, playing board games, watching sports, camping, running marathons, and playing with her dog

A Wicked Welcome!
Welcome to my blog titled Maynard's Musing! I have been wanting to start this blog forever so I sat the kids down and told them I would be neglecting them for at least one hour a week to make this happen. Of course I didn't just abandon them without making sure they could all pass the pour your own milk and cereal test before I snuck away to give it a try. And I'm not the kind of mom who would normally let my kids starve in the 30+ minutes it will take me to blog, but after a conversation yesterday where they told me they wanted me to start buying "healthier" food like dried seaweed and Brussel sprouts... I'm thinking maybe starving them once a week is a good thing, at least until they drop this seaweed nonsense and admit that chocolate should be the 6th food group. I even reached out to my Facebook friends to see if anyone wanted to trade children but that didn't work, so now I will be buying them dried seaweed to munch on while I get busy posting the latest news on my Wicked Luck Series, as well as some new releases to check out by fellow authors. And of course, my blog wouldn't be complete without some random posts about romance! Please feel free to share or leave a comment, and if there's a romance topic you want me to muse and discuss on the blog then shoot me a quick email.
