Hi ,
Now that Once upon a Betrothal is finished, I've reacquainted myself with where I was at on Princess of Hope. The manuscript is almost to the point that I want to start on the technical side of editing. Most of what it still needs in revisions is connected to foreshadowing for the bigger series. Unlike my Once upon a Story series, this will be one that will provide the best reading experience if it's read in order. I'm both excited and nervous about this decision since all of my other books have been written with the intention that you can pick up anywhere in the series without any problems.
I finally managed to get in contact with the right person at my library, but I hit another audiobook roadblock. At this time, they are having some kind of software issue and they don't know when it will be fixed. So I'm planning to keep the alarms on my phone and hope the problem resolves soon.
For more exciting news, on June 30th, I'll be doing a Facebook takeover in the Kingdom of Fairytales group. If you're on Facebook, I'd love to see you join me there.

In a world where magic once reigned, Lysandra must decide how much she is willing to lose to fulfill her vengeful plans...or if her heart will undo her carefully laid schemes.
Revenge burns in the heart of Lysandra, the daughter of a slain witch, whose life is forever changed when her village is raided and her family’s magic stolen by the ruthless kingdom of Eldoria. Sworn to reclaim her birthright and make the enemy pay, Lysandra embarks on a perilous journey of deception and vengeance. Disguising herself within the very walls of her foes, she becomes a handmaiden who secretly takes the place of the princess planning to marry the unsuspecting Prince Callan and ascend to the throne that should have been her destruction.
But as Lysandra weaves her way through the treacherous webs of court politics in search of her lost power, her quest for revenge is complicated by the unexpected: a burgeoning affection for the prince she is meant to deceive. Lysandra must navigate a dangerous path between her desire for retribution and the pull of a love that could be her salvation—or her ultimate undoing.
Stolen Magic is a standalone fairytale in All That Glitters—a 12-book series brimming with Tales of Treasure and True Love. Each book stands alone and is written by a different author, so pick your next adventure and remember…not all that glitters is gold!
Kore, a daughter of Demeter and Zeus, has never been so happy. She lives on Mount Olympus and has grown into a powerful young spring goddess. She spends her days frolicking through nature with the other immortals her age, and she's even fallen in love with a handsome god of sunlight. Her life is perfect—that is, until the night she catches the eye of Hades, King of the Underworld.
When Kore refuses Hades’s advances, he kidnaps her and forces her to marry him. He even changes her name to Persephone—stealing the last bit of agency she still has. In the end, Kore is forced to let go of the world above.
To survive her new role as Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, Kore will have to embrace the darkness and grow into the vengeful goddess she was always destined to be.
*Wrath of Persephone is a War on the Gods Army exclusive*
Madigan’s Leap Book 1: The King’s Shilling (sample)
Magic, folklore and history entwine in this wholesome tale of love, loss, and destiny, creating an enchanting journey, perfect for young adult readers.
In the late 18th century, the Delacey family—once prosperous landowners—live on the rugged coast of an alternative Ireland, in the village of Allanwell. Tragedy strikes, and they are plunged into poverty.
Amidst the turmoil, Rose, the youngest of the four Delacey daughters, is haunted by dreams of a marvelously handsome youth. Desperate to know whether he really exists, Rose seeks the aid of a local wise woman, who casts a spell to reveal the truth. The spell is perilous - will Rose live to encounter the man from her visions, or is it all an illusion? Will she find love - and if so, how long may happiness last?
For a Royal Navy press-gang is raiding up and down the coast, seizing young men to fight in the war against France. No able-bodied fellow is safe from their clutches. What will this mean for the villagers of Allanwell, for the Delaceys, and for Rose and the lover she sees only in dreams?
As rumours of war grow louder, Rose must decide whether to hold onto hope or forge a new path forward . . .
The story continues in:
Book II: The Cloven Ring
Book III: Words of Power
