Fourth Earth launch month!
, it’s here!!! Launch month! Let’s get this party started! I’m working with the wonderful Courtney Cannon and Fiction Atlas Builders to do some promos this month in anticipation of the launch.
Several ways to enter including daily tasks!
I’m so excited for the launch! Stay tuned as I’ll be sending out more giveaways and news about Black Friday / Thanksgiving week sales on First Earth & Second Earth. If you haven’t started the Arch Mage Series, there isn’t a better time!
I've also gotten some awesome feedback from some fellow authors:
"The fourth instalment in the Arch Mage Series is a fascinating fantasy story combined with a touch of science-fiction. The author throws us into magical worlds where a strong heroine must battle powerful foes, using her magical powers, her scientific knowledge and her wits. Even if you start reading book 4 and are discovering this series for the first time, the story is easy enough to follow, so I highly recommend giving this highly acclaimed, spellbinding fantasy story for young adults a try!" Rae Knightly – Author of bestselling Ben Archer series
“Like with all the other Arch Mage books, I loved Fourth Earth! Every world in the Arch Mage series is richer, more vibrant, and more exciting than the last. This was nonstop action from start to finish. I can't wait for the next book!” Erin Swan – Author of Bright Star
I'd love for you to preorder Fourth Earth to help boost my rankings and have it delivered to your Kindle reader the day it launches!
NaNoWriMo - November goals False Earth
I’d already started on False Earth, book 5 in the Arch Mage Series, but with NaNoWriMo here, I’ve got high goals to get a ton of writing done.
From reedsy.com’s blog:
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an annual event in which participants commit to writing a 50,000-word novel between November 1st and 30th. It began in 1999 as a challenge between friends, but NaNoWriMo has since grown into a global writing marathon with hundreds of thousands of participants each year!
The rules are simple: starting after midnight local time on November 1, writers begin drafting a new novel (or a fresh rewrite of an old one), and must attempt to finish before the end of the month. Planning and outlining beforehand are allowed and even encouraged, but continuing a current work-in-progress is not officially sanctioned by NaNoWriMo — though plenty of writers bend the rules to suit their needs.
While I’m not following the rules perfectly, my goal is to hit at least 35k words on False Earth this month (writers' conference and holidays). This is roughly 1700 words a day. In the past, I’ve been able to set some daily records getting over 4000 words in a single day. So, we’ll see how many I can get! Cheer me on!

I AM LOOKING AT YOU. YOU, WHO HAD ACCESS TO INFINITE KNOWLEDGE.
I never asked to be the sole bearer of the entire Knowledge of your civilization. Yet, here I am, barely sixteen-years-old, and it has fallen upon my shoulders to save what remains of humanity from a second Dark Ages.
Your civilization is gone now, lost six hundred years ago in cataclysmic wars brought on by climate change. Your virtual information vanished along with electricity. Only your ancient printed books remain, and they have been scanned into a memory device hanging around my neck, to which only I have access.
For Knowledge is power, and the dreaded Wraith Lord knows this. He would keep the Knowledge for himself. He would hunt me down and force me to give it up, submitting humanity to infinite darkness and servitude.
Knowledge must belong to all, or to none. I must find a way to spread Knowledge back to the world, or die trying.
International bestselling, award-winning author Rae Knightly presents a thrilling young-adult dystopian novel, The Knowledge Seeker, which takes a thought-provoking look at what would remain of our civilization six-hundred-years from now, were we to disappear today. This coming-of-age story will captivate fans of The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner, and is inspired by themes such as the Trojan Horse and the Stockholm Syndrome.
With the fate of his people on the line, the truth is his greatest weapon…
Eighteen-year-old Dante refuses to let evil conquer the galaxy. And the fact that his own father acts as the instrument of a dark lord’s unrelenting destruction only makes it harder. But when Dante learns a mysterious warrior has strange visions of his family, he discovers she may hold the key to defeating his father.
As sinister attacks threaten more and more planets, he fears their purpose is to prepare for an ultimate showdown. But with clues scarce and the girl’s mission to help him turning deadly, Dante might be running out of time before those he swore to protect are doomed.
Can the young hero unravel the mystery and win freedom for the universe?
The Spinning of Deception is the enthralling first book in the Sunspear science fiction series. If you like epic tales of the battle against darkness, intriguing characters, and dangerous adventures, then you’ll love Elizabeth Lavender’s star-spanning saga.

A street rat. A magic lamp. An obnoxiously handsome prince.
What should have been an easy-in, easy-out job with my father became a nightmare when he was arrested by the soldiers of Zunbar. As if things couldn't get any more complicated, my estranged mother has demanded I enter the Desert Trials and find the magic lamp hidden inside the Dragon’s Lair cave.
The Desert Trails: a series of ten tasks to prove a sorceress's proficiency in the art of magic.
How hard could it be?
Only, I wasn't blessed with the gift of magic.
Surviving the trials is only part of the problem. I’ve inadvertently partnered with Prince “Abu” and he’s bent on taking the magic lamp from me. I'm not about to let some dashing prince steal my father's freedom.
But the Dragon’s Lair is more like the Cave of Nightmares, and I can’t escape without Prince Abudar’s help. If we don’t work together, we might not make it out alive, and I am not wasting my only wish in order to escape.
With the chance to make a single wish, can a street rat finally prove her worth? Find out in this adventure-packed, gender-swapped retelling of Aladdin!
When an assassin infiltrates a secret meeting and people are killed, brothers Robbie and Dougray are plunged into a fast-paced journey of discovery.
Their quest leads them to the other side of the Black Mountain, forbidden territory, where an Elf girl named Belle Song rescues them from Trolls and accompanies them. The future of their quest becomes doubtful when an enormous spider called Queen Shara captures Robbie.
After a frightening battle, they manage to defeat the spider and rescue him from her lair. Through their mutual hardships, Dougray and Belle discover they have a common destiny, one that involves searching for seven lost crystals that will heal Bethloria.
This is a folktale set in the Scottish Highland forests. Lovely wee place though humans can't see it. It's just as well because you lot would ruin it.
Okay, folks. I'm going to set the record straight because I'm fed up hearing so many lies about it. For a start, I never fought any dragons. Do they exist? I've never seen any, nor has anybody else I know except for Mister Taylor, the blacksmith. He saw two of them on his road home from the pub one night, though he was probably sozzled. Besides that, he's as weird as an alcoholic rabbit. And by the way, I'm fae and a girl. So, how it got about that yours truly was a goblin called Alan is beyond me. Honestly, guys – a goblin? How could you confuse me with one of those loathsome creatures? Maybe it was the outdated belief that only boys could have gone through what I did. It's somewhat sexist, don't you think?
Anyway, I'd better stop prattling. Why don't you read for yourself what really happened? Then write a review so it'll bring it to the attention of others. All proceeds go to this poor author for the time and effort spent writing the story. I'm flogging the book everywhere, so you'll come across it wherever you go. It'll help me buy more materials to write other stuff. Yeah, I know. I'm over-egging the pudding a bit too much. But a wee financial contribution wouldn't go amiss.
p.s. I've embellished the story to make it more entertaining. Well, you want your money's worth, don't you?
Cozy up with New Worlds!
The temperature is dropping in many areas; time to settle in with a soft blanket or your favorite hoodie and get lost in an epic saga ... or a few! Treat yourself.
Happy reading!
