Hi Readers! We have good news! Hunter’s Night has a new cover that better matches the rest of the series. If you already have a copy of the ebook, just ask Amazon to update your copy with the new cover. The paperback doesn’t have the new cover yet because the designer is still working on it. We expect to have that by the end of next week. Second, Hidden Magic is at the formatter! It’s coming soon! But there might not be 22 stories in it. 😦 One of the authors messaged our Scribe to say she can’t contribute to … Continue reading Story Blues and a New Cover Too

Hi Readers, Before we jump back into today’s adventure, I just wanted to give you a quick status update. Our Scribe has been hard at work on a trilogy of anthologies collectively called Magic Underground. They’re published by the only press that’s run by fictional characters–Magical Mayhem Press. If you guessed that I (Ran, Sarn’s son and sidekick) and the cast of Melinda’s books are part of the staff there, then you’re correct. Magical Mayhem Press publishes exactly what you think it does: books chock full of magic and mayhem because that’s how we roll. It’s the only character-run press … Continue reading This is Magical Mayhem

Hi Readers, I think it’s just us now. I sent everyone away. (This is Ran, by the way, your official newsletter host. I’m the son of Sarn, the curse breaker in the Curse Breaker books.) Since this newsletter is character-run, other characters drop in from time to time, but this newsletter is *mine!* It’s also a spoiler-free zone. At least, it’s supposed to be. That’s why I sent everyone else away. I paused with my finger hovering over the screen as a voice interrupted my musings. “What are you doing under here?” Papa lifted the blanket that formed my comfy … Continue reading The Adventure Continues (Finally)

Let’s sweeten the pot a little. Mirren Hogan needs all the help she can get in this trying time. I’ll toss in the sequel to Hunter’s Night if we get this over $20. If this goes to $25, I’ll add in Curse Breaker: Darkens. If this hits $30, I’ll add in His Angelic Keeper. If this goes to $40, I’ll swap out Enchanted & Darkens for a copy of Curse Breaker: Books 1-4 If this goes to $60, I’ll add Curse Breaker: Sundered If this goes to $70, I’ll add an advanced copy of Hidden Magic as soon as it’s … Continue reading Help An Author Recover from a Devastating Fire

Hi Readers, I’m back with an update! (This is Ran, by the way, Sarn’s son from the Curse Breaker series.) Last week, we talked briefly about upcoming books. The plan is still to get Curse Breaker: Hidden out before March to close up our current story arc and launch a new one. That new arc is the one you’ve been waiting for. All secrets will be revealed. No one is safe when the truth comes out, not even me. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Before we start the new arc, we have three fun, shorter adventures featuring Nulthir’s best … Continue reading Name that Creature!
