Character Appreciation Week: Pegasus

Last year we had a week devoted 100% to everyone's favorite Trash Griffin, French Fry, from my Magiford Supernatural City series.

This year we are doing something similar for the most popular horse/equine related character across all my books: Pegasus.

He appears in both the Timeless Fairy Tales series and the Fairy Tale Enchantress series, and he even has his own dedicated short story showing his POV!

We are scaling things back this year and there will just be two main giveaway/contests (one on the Discord server and one in the Facebook group). The Giveaway/contest prizes will be some exclusive Pegasus themed swag, and even if you don't win one of the giveaways I am making one of my books FREE for most of the week so everyone can get a prize!

Here's the schedule for Pegasus Appreciation Week:

• September 29th - October 3rd : Discord Server Giveaway

• September 29th - October 3rd : Facebook Group Giveaway

• September 30th - October 4th: Puss in Books eBook is FREE*

*The reason why the free book is Puss in Books for this event is because there is a scene from the book that also appears in The Constellation's Dilemma short story! I highly recommend reading both versions so you get both POVs!

Did this short story change your opinion of Pegasus? Did anything surprise you?

As an extra bonus, here's a quote image from this short story that my team made last year but we didn't have a chance to share it anywhere!

New Coloring Page: The Frog Prince

To celebrate publishing a new Book List blog post for The Frog Prince (click here to read it) I decided to do a week of Frog Prince Related content on my Facebook and Instagram accounts, and as a final summer bonus gift to my Champions I'm releasing a brand new coloring book page featuring the one and only Prince Lucien in frog form!

This coloring book page was once again drawn by the lovely @olena_shkavron and I love how she included so many fancy jewels and ornaments in the corners of this coloring page - it is very much Lucien's vibe!

Here's the link to Ariane and Lucien's book if this coloring page ends up inspiring you to start a reread.

And just for fun, here is the Who Said It? Trivia question I posted on social media earlier this week. Many thanks to the Sheacon planners for previously collecting all these quotes for trivia and allowing me to reuse them for these fun games!

Frog Prince Retellings

Do you love The Frog Prince fairy tale? This well known fairy tale has it's own Disney adaptation! And one interesting twist that most modern takes on this fairy tale add is the prince/main male character going through a growth arc (or at least gets his well deserved comeuppance!)

Let's take a look at some fantastic retellings of this Brothers Grimm fairy tale.

The Frog Prince - by K. M. Shea - This is my version in which I heavily gutted the original story because in the original both of the main characters are pretty detestable (if you don't believe me read this other blog post). It features a romance between seemingly arrogant Prince Lucien and the maid assigned to protect the now-very-much-a-frog prince.

Now for the full list! I asked my reader community for their top suggestions (I asked for no spice and low language but check reviews if you have questions about the content). Since these are coming directly from readers you can think of them as a book rec from a friend!
