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)!
To all of you who bought Of Dangers and Dreams, which has my dire wolf story, thank you so, so much.
There are more Fairy Tale Frenzy books, too, all published by Beyond the Bookery. Both contemporary and fantasy retellings are included. Take a look at all these covers.
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.
Apparently, my novella isn’t the only book released in March. Lou Allen of Christian Faith and Fiction has made a list of new releases, covering a wide range of genres for adults and teens.
Which books look interesting to you?
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.
Another anthology is here! This one is a collection of historical retellings of fairy tales. Featured authors are Anna Minor-Weeks, Abigail Kay, and Katherine H. Brown.
Are you looking for books that are like Little House on the Prairie?
I learned of a historical fiction series by Kathy J. Perry: the Emeline series. They’re for tweens and teens, and they feature a teenager surviving the wilderness and an economic recession during the 1890s.
Perry has written books for younger kids too: the Bandana Acres series and the Oakwoods series. They all teach children virtues that’ll help them through life . . . and introduce them to special animal friends.
You’ve probably gotten a clue that I love animals. Well, October is World Animal Month, as well as a plethora of other days dedicated to God’s creatures. I wrote reviews for Story Warren on the three animal-themed books.
In the reviews, I take a look at the treatment of the animal characters and content that parents need to be aware of.
Have you heard? Two anthologies from Fairy Tale Frenzy have been released. They’re both collections of historical retellings of classic tales. Think The Ugly Duckling, Beauty and the Beast, The Snow Queen, Cinderella, and Snow White.
As you may know already, I’m writing a Little Red Riding Hood retelling that’s fit for middle grade and teens. It’s going to be featured in an anthology that’ll be published by Beyond the Bookery. In fact, the anthology is part of a series of anthologies called Fairy Tale Frenzy.
Speaking of Fairy Tale Frenzy, the first four anthologies will be published soon. Some are fantasy retellings, and others are historical retellings.
