Good day to you, Champions! The big news for today is that Snowflakes–the Snow Queen short story collection–is now available for pre-order! Woohoo!

Snowflakes will launch January 14–that’s a Saturday, or Friday night if you’re a midnight reader–and is temporarily on sale for 99 cents! Once it’s released, I’m going to up the price to $1.99, but I wanted to give you all a chance to buy it for 99 cents first.

This collection contains all the extras/short stories that were available on my website, as well as three new ones! 1) A short story told from Steinar’s POV. (I wrote it to finish off The Attendant’s Story and the Captain’s Story, so they’re a matched set now!) 2) A short story that examines where Farrin got his barely mentioned jade wolf statue from. 3) A short story–the longest of them all–that brings in the adorable dogs shown above (those dogs should ring bells for any Rumpelstiltskin fans out there) and also reveals what happened to Aleifr–the soldier who tried to kill Rakel.

I’ve been planning for those dogs since I wrote Rumpelstiltskin, so it was great to be able to finally bring them into the story! And as usual, Myrrhlynn–my cover artist–did another fantastic job with this cover! I fretted a lot because I wanted to make it obvious it was a short story collection and not a new novel, so I really appreciated the banner she added at the bottom. (That banner actually matches the binding of the paperback books. Woohoo for a cover artist who appreciates details!)

That’s all for today! Tomorrow you’ll get another Sleeping Beauty post, and the last freebie! (Which, yes, is about Delanna.)

Updated Books

Greetings, Champions! Things are a little crazy for me as I have approximately four projects that all happened to reach completion at approximately the same time, so stuff is piling up. I’m aware that I have about a dozen things to update you all on, but I can’t tackle them all at once, so you’re going to be getting daily updates for the next few days!

Today’s topic: getting updated books.

As I mentioned last week, Cinderella and the Colonel got an edit and a new cover, so I recommended any of you C&C fans snag the new edition. What I did not know was that Amazon just did a rehaul of its help system, so things changed.

Additionally, I also did a light edit of Enthroned, Enchanted, and Embittered in preparation for writing the final King Arthurs book, so I re-uploaded those books, and repackaged the three pack–which also got a new cover! So if you unless you bought any of those books last week, you have the old versions. (Note: the only changes are really a few stylistic fixes and a lot of typo fixes, the story hasn’t changed at all!)

Woohoo! Thanks, Myrrhlynn for the new cover! It looks spectacular!

So with all these updated editions floating around, I realized it would be easiest if I just made a guide on how to get updated ebooks, So here’s the PDF: How to get an updated book-which has pictures and big red arrows to get you through the process! I do have to remind everyone, though, that I cannot get the updated ebook on your device, only Amazon can do that. Additionally, when the updated version is pushed onto your kindle library by amazon, they will push it to the front of your library/book list. So if the book you request the update for suddenly appears at the top of your kindle books, you have the updated version!

Thanks for your patience, Champions! Good luck to those of you who decide to get the updated editions!
