woah... things just got reallllly intense

I'm going to try and do a blog tour the week before The Lost Princess is released. (On May 10th) It will stretch from May 5th-May 10th. There will be a giveaway too, but I'm still working on that. You can sign up for the blog tour here:

still working on this book... (I started it march 20th or something- before I learned how to do updates on books and such) I'm not sure whether I should DNF (which I pride myself on never doing) or keep reading. Maybe it'll pick up the pace and enthrall me. Any ideas?
also, hating (trying to avoid spoilers, so cryptic) the person coming between Emma and Sam.

AHHH!!!
my book is being published in a month.
EXACTLY A MONTH
it will be on Amazon as an e-book. it will soon be available for pre-order.
Last chance to read it before I publish, PM me if you want to read it, and comment if you have any ideas for celebrating the big day!

I'm reading Heaven Without Her, A Daughter's Desperate Search for her Mother's Faith, by Kitty Foth-Regner
I
LOVE
it
Which is weird, because I'm strictly a fiction reader, mostly fantasy, but love real-world stuff and I also really like superheroes all of the sudden (??) I think I was getting tired of fantasy, but anyway, I REALLY LIKE THIS MEMIOR
WHAT
I
DO
so read it. all of you. now.

So to all my writer friends, have you heard of Promptuarium? https://promptuarium.wordpress.com/ It's AWESOME they have a good stock of prompts in every genre
Also for Christian writers, https://storyembers.org/giveaway-for-... (a giveaway)
AND the giveaway is posted by Kingdom Pen kingdompen.org GREAT place

For all my Christian friends, I don't know if you've heard of The Song of Sadie Sparrow, by Kitty Foth-Regner, but it is amazing! A good, strong Christian novel about three women from three very different lifestyles, and their lives are all interwoven.
You ALL should read it. It's amazing.
(that's all I have to say)

Are any of you fans of Lego Ninjago? (Not the movie, the TV show)
If so, guess what? They changed the look of the TV show characters for season 8 (the one that hasn't been released yet). I just saw the trailer. They look more like the movie characters now! No! Just no! No no no no no!
(I'm sorry, I'm kinda mad)
I can't believe they did this. I AM SO MAD. NO. THEY DON"T LOOK LIKE THEM ANYMORE.

After three weeks (ish) I FINALLY got the cover changed for The Princess Ambassador!!! Yay! You can view it here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Plus the Alpha Reader sign up is still open for both books.

Hey so I got back from a vacation yesterday, and I read a lot of books while on vacation but I can't review them yet because my laptop decided it didn't want to consistently connect to the internet... Super annoying. Anyway, expect 5-6 book reviews once I figure out the internet!

Does anyone actually ever go over the word count on updates and have to re-word things so it all fits?
*raises hand*
Oops. Half the time I only need THREE MORE LETTERS. It's so frusturating.

You know, authors are almost always #10 on the crazy scale.
"author, always #10, but in rare moments of sanity can astound others with their vast knowledge of things that do not apply to their life, but to the lives of their characters."
Like, how fast someone who is stabbed will die.
Or the names of 20+ characters.
How to punctuate a sentence correctly.
And how to not make a plot fall flat.
SO useful.

I read four books yesterday.
It's not that impressive.
They were 3 graphic novels and one other book that is really short.
But still, I read four books yesterday.

I changed the book title of Ambassador and Princess (I know, I'm crazy) the cover will be changed soon. It is now The Princess Ambassador because that sounds better. Also, in case you hadn't heard before, the release date was moved up to June 10th.

I'm on page 94 of the Movement of crowns and quite honestly I don't know what to say.
I'm relieved
But very very very mad at the author (Nadine Keels)

I'm on pg 88 of The Movement of crowns.
NO

it's so sad
I cried
I never cry (ever)
No please no please! NO!

I just finished Ivy Introspective and I CAN NOT WAIT TO READ AT HER FINGERTIPS!
I mean, how am I suppose to wait?
I want to know what happens!

I made a blog post about Kellyn
I happened to really enjoy reading her book... and I maybe got a little over enthusiastic
(I'm talking squealing)
And when I get enthusiastic I usually post about it.
So... yeah. You can read it if you want.

I'm on page 172 of The Dressmaker's Secret and WHY? WHY KELLYN WHY?
W.H.Y.
DON'T DO THIS TO ME

I'm ready for alpha readers for Ambassador and Princess!
https://goo.gl/forms/ESv2nEg061Vighde2
The Lost Princess is still open to alpha readers too.
https://goo.gl/forms/yU3baYJd5UPbbRMT2
Enjoy reading!
(I am at the first draft stage of A Princess at Heart, the third book, so I'll need alpha readers for that soon too.)

It's official! Ambassador and Princess is now being released June 10th! The publishing date is being moved up because I will be going to public school this fall (surprise?) and I won't be writing a ton during those first months. I hopefully can sneak A Princess at Heart into the summer too... (A Princess at Heart is the third book, which is still being written)

Alpha reader spots for The Lost Princess still available!
https://goo.gl/forms/vN2ARTXcmZzN8W5n1
The book is released May 10th 2018, if possible please finish reading it a week before.
Ambassador and Princess (second book in The Fairy Tale Chronicles) will be open to alpha readers soon.

The second book in The Fairy Tale Chronicles is now on Goodreads! (I'm still working on making them part of a series... I've requested help on the Librarians page.)
I'm also thinking of moving up the release date because of some new things coming up in my life... which will be announced on my website, lorettamz.com)
So enjoy Ambassador and Princess!
The third book, A Princess at Heart, will be coming soon.
