Hi, Summer Bash guests! Party crashers are welcome, too.
For those of you who followed me for a while, you may already be familiar with what I write. However, let me share more about my writing journey by answering Who, What, Where, How, and Why questions.
WHO am I?
I’m K.A. Ramstad (of course), a creator of fantasy and fairy tale retellings. I write for children, middle grade, and teens, and you’ll see me write a review on a picture or middle grade book every once in a while.
Beyond the Bookery’s Summer Bash is coming to Facebook. It’s your chance to win a free copy of Of Dangers and Dreams. That’s right, it’s F-R-E-E.
On June 30, you’ll see a special post by me at 5:00 PM MST. You’ll see how I got into writing, tips on how to be a better writer, and more of a sneak peek of my upcoming middle grade book Starlight.
You may have already heard about the Summer Bash hosted by Beyond the Bookery. It’s an online party where you can explore different authors and potential favorite reads. There’s even a giveaway to win cool stuff, like BtB releases, highlighters, and fun goodies like a possible crocheted bookmark.
And guess what? You’ll get a chance to win your own copy of Of Dangers and Dreams (featuring my dire wolf story)!
Remember when I told you I have a story about a fox that makes light for the Northern Lights?
I found a publisher for it! It’s going to be the same publisher that did my “Friend of the Dire Wolf” novella. This new book, called Starlight, is fit for a middle grade audience who loves fantasy and fairy tale retellings.
Here are the first lines of my and my co-authors’ novellas in Of Dangers and Dreams.
Hi, friends.
Of Dangers and Dreams is now available in ebook and paperback. There you’ll find my “Friend of the Dire Wolf” story, great for tweens and teens.
To feed your curiosity, here’s a quiz where you find out which character of the story you are most like. Who knows? You might find a new friend.
I know, there are more books in the market. *grin* But this is a special catalog where you can find Christian-friendly books in a wide variety of genres. Histrical fiction, contemporary fiction, romance, fairy tale retellings, you name it.
Also, ahem, you’ll see Of Dangers and Dreams, a book yours truly is in.
Check out “The Bookworm,” your friend in introducing new reads.
*Trumpet resounding*
Today is the official release of Of Dangers and Dreams, containing my Red Riding Hood story!
My story is novella-sized, complete with its own chapters. It even includes a theme verse, and as you read, you’ll know why.
“He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.” – Psalm 147:10-11, KJV
Here’s a big bonus:
Do you love playlists for books? I created one right here, and each song goes with each chapter. Enjoy!
I have to mention Silvera the dire wolf again. Did I say she also has magic powers? Due to drinking the alchemist’s potion, she can fly, create constellations, and make fire.
There are other animals with magic powers, but one is gifted by Elohim, the great Creator god, while the other was changed by alchemist chemistry. You have to read the story to find out which one.
They’re Chidike the Medicine Primate and Oma the Owl, both talking animals and each with their own special feats.
I absolutely cannot talk about my Of Dangers and Dreams story without mentioning my friends Liv Hammonds and Jenny A Bee. Their stories are also in the book.
