FROM THE ARCANE: Relics of Legend and Lore

14 stories, chock-full of machinations and magic, available now for 99 cents!



I am SO excited to share the third installment of the Indie Fantasy Addicts Anthology Collection, which includes 14 highly-curated stories, including the brand-new short story author David Green and I co-wrote! THE PILFERERD QUILL is a satirical comedy story starring Chet Williams - an underappreciated and misunderstood fantasy writer who is madly in love with himself. Here's a small snippet:




Here's what we, the illustrious and not-at-all-biased authors of Chet's story, have to say for ourselves:


"Utterly brilliant and captivating. If you don't like this book, you clearly don't appreciate superior intelligence, unparalleled talent, and staggering 'genius-ness.'" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ David Green, co-author of THE PILFERED QUILL


"Probably one of best stories I've ever read - not including my numerous other literary masterpieces, that is." - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rachel Rener, co-author of THE PILFERED QUILL


Read THE PILFERED QUILL, along with 13 other brilliant tales, for just 99 cents!


 

FREE BOOK ALERT!


She's got a tail and a secret that could kill her.


Shifter Alysa Lapina runs a coffee shop in rural Utah, has tea with cougars (the cats, not the ladies) and fishes in her ferret form. Her human persona hides a secret - she was once a lab animal of Koschei the Deathless himself. Upon her escape, she took a priceless artifact - an interworld portal that lets the user travel to Vyraj, the realm where beasts of legends are trapped. Few know that Alysa herself is the portal that everyone and their ghoul is searching for. She would like to keep it that way.

Things don't go as planned when dragons break out of Vyraj. They decide to find the last living portal to their prison and make her dead. What's a shifter to do? Especially when one dragon in particular has real fire on his mind.

Well, it's official. I'm on TikTok's shit list. (Again.) Apparently, they don't like words like "incubuᶊ," "[Gilded] Blood," or "twát-muffin."


(Just kidding about that last one. Though I do think some of the higher-ups at TikTok deserve that moniker.) *ahem* If you haven't seen the recent video series of me re-enacting key scenes of the Gilded Blood series, would you consider popping on TikTok to let the algorithm know (a.k.a. leave a comment) that I'm not, in fact, a twisted, evil villain deserving of censorship?

While you're lurking on my profile (and believe me, I actually love it when readers stalk me!!), I'd be so appreciative if you'd give me a follow! I'm not great at growing my social media followings and rarely bother people for likes, follows, shares, or reviews, but it's my goal to grow my brand so I can get even more books out in 2024 and 2025 (and apparently - or so I'm lectured by prospective publishers - every like and follow counts...sigh).


But it's not all about numbers - if you'd like to be among the first to hear about new books, special announcements, deluxe editions, awesome collaborations & giveaways (and so on), these platforms are THE best way to be in the know. (And it also lets potential large publishers *cough* know that people want to read more stories by that one chick by the name of Rachel Rener who routinely gets shadow banned on TikTok).


Amazon - this one is super helpful for new releases, like the one that just showed up yesterday!


(And more I'm probably forgetting but can't think of at the moment.)

(CAN YOU SEE WHY I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT THIS? Just look at that massive list I have to keep up with!! 😰)


Anyway, thank you all so, so, so much for helping me with this. I'm tired and all I want to do is nap, eat cheese, and write books.


(If anyone has any brilliant ideas for how to make this happen, like, yesterday, please let me know!) XOXO
