Curious

Some of the responses to the My Life at the MBRC cover got me curious. So now I have to know…who do you think Morgan should end up with?

If you say other, let me know in the comments who you’re thinking of.

I suspect one of my new characters, Harrison the goblin, will probably be incredibly popular with my older readers, but sadly he’s too old for Morgan. Still, I’m anxious to find out who is the Champions’ favorite, so please vote!

MBRC News

I am thrilled to share that I finished writing MBRC 2 on Saturday! I start editing this week, and I hope to release it near the end of September. In celebration of the pending release, Myrrhlynn has redone the cover of My Life at the MBRC, so it will match the sequel’s cover. (Yes, she’s already hard at work on it.)

Brownie points to the Champions who correctly guess what characters are on the cover.

Isn’t it fun? Myrrhlynn had to draw this on her computer instead of using photos as she has done for most of my covers. It’s a new style, but I think it fits with Morgan and her pals. (I especially love the little blue dragon sitting on the R!) Thanks Myrrhlynn for another fantastic cover!

Continuing with the MBRC themed celebration…I’m hoping to make My Life at the MBRC either free or available for a discount in the middle of September. I’m a little slippery on dates right now because I don’t have a very good idea what day I’ll release the sequel. Yet.

So what do you think of the new art? Any guesses who will be featured on the next MBRC cover? Thanks for reading, Champions. I will keep you posted with my editing progress!

Good Sci Fi & MBRC II report

For some odd reason I’ve really been craving some good science fiction books. I’m usually a fantasy girl all the way through, but I do stray to various other genres. Science Fiction is the one genre that I have a hard time liking–not because I feel the genre is filled with poor writers, but more because it feels like there aren’t a lot of science fiction stories with strong female characters in the starring role.

I own more fantasy books than I care to admit, and in comparison I think I have approximately two science fiction books. (As a side note, I don’t count dystopian books as straight up sci fi.) I’ve been trolling Goodreads, hoping for excellent titles, but since I don’t really know of any female science fiction series, I don’t know where to get started.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

My search for books aside, I have good news to share about the MBRC sequel! I’ve written 104 Microsoft Word pages, or 52,000 words. I’m hoping to finish it up in another 50-40 pages, so I should be finished by the end of the first week in September. I’m a little nervous about this sequel since it’s been so widely requested, but I have to compliment the champions who won the Name Game contest. The characters matched to their names–Baobab, a fairy; Harrison, a goblin; and Grogrintork, a dwarf–are my favorites in the batch of new characters you get to meet.

That’s all for today, Champions! Thank you for reading, I will see you next week!
