The Newsletter-Dragon Speaks

Hi Readers, this is your newsletter-dragon speaking. Do not adjust your display properties. I am flying through cyberspace. Where’s Ran? He’s dimensionally challenged right now. That’s why I’m here. I want to save him. Why am I undertaking such a quest? Because I know who really kidnapped Melinda, our scribe. Sarn and Ran walked into a trap this cunning entity set for them two weeks ago. There are some things even J.C. cannot see when he builds a portal, but they can still distract Him. GDPR is one of them. But I am the newsletter-dragon, and I’ve been tracking this … Continue reading The Newsletter-Dragon Speaks

When Scribe-Eating Books Collide

Hi Readers, This is Sarn, Ran’s father. Something strange happened when we pushed through J.C.’s “window into another world” last week. The picture fuzzed and swirled, and reality splintered. “Come back!” J.C. called. “We can’t. We’re trapped.” And my magic didn’t like it. It kept shouting its usual objection, ‘unnatural,’ until I wanted to scream. Instead, I held tightly to my son’s tiny hand. Ran, in turn, clutched his Bear, but the stuffed annoyance had gone limp, and the twinkle had died from his button eyes. Magic was screaming inside my head, making it hard to think. It was also … Continue reading When Scribe-Eating Books Collide

The Bunny Did It

Hi Readers! Last week, I, Ran, son of Sarn, your lovable narrator, interrogated a giant bunny who may or may not be the Easter Bunny. He’s still not saying. That episode ended with a crash. Before we jump into that, I just want to thank you for joining us on this crazy experiment we call a newsletter. I, and our scribe, Melinda, are grateful that week after week you choose to open our emails and see what we’re up to. Thank you. We do this for you. We live to entertain. No, really, we’re fictional, so we only exist when … Continue reading The Bunny Did It

Interrogating Magical Creatures

Hi Readers, Last week, Papa, Melinda (aka our scribe), and I (Ran, son of Sarn, your lovable narrator) tried to escape a bad storm. A giant bunny with a basket of shiny eggs showed up and picked a fight with Bear. Yes, that Bear—my stuffed companion and our all-around cryptic Ghost Bear. You remember him from Curse Breaker: Faceted, right? Once the fight ended, I asked some hard questions. So without further ado, let’s get back to that. I *really* want to know the answers and this time, I might get them. Fictional Characters vs the Nor’easter Easter Bunny? (Part 2) … Continue reading Interrogating Magical Creatures

Bear vs the Easter Bunny

Hi Readers, The cast of the Curse Breaker series + our scribe, Melinda, would like to wish you a belated happy Passover, Easter and any other holidays we may have missed. Now back to our continuing adventure. When we last saw our heroes, Bear had just shown up, but he wasn’t very helpful. (If you need a refresher, check out part one, part two, part three and part four. I’ll wait.) Who will prevail—your favorite duo and their hapless scribe or the Easter Bunny? 0_o Where did he come from? Fictional Characters vs the Nor’easter Easter Bunny? Bear jumped, and … Continue reading Bear vs the Easter Bunny

We’re Boxed in! Free us now.

Hi Readers! We’re boxed in by this guy and his sidekick son 😉  Yes, our first ever boxed set is live. Get your copy here. It features the first four books of the Curse Breaker series in one electronic file. Auntie Sovvan still refuses to comment on her activities between Enchanted (book 1) and Falls (book 4), but we have a book in the works to chronicle what “heavenly business” kept her busy. It’s coming this summer. Now back to our continuing adventure. When we last saw our heroes, Papa had worked some impressive magic and it took its toll.  (If you … Continue reading We’re Boxed in!

Bad Character

I’ve been a bad character. While my scribe was at work yesterday, I popped into an author group on Facebook and there was this post asking authors to “drop” a link to their newsletter sign-up page. All the comments went something like this: Hi there, sign up for my newsletter and get a free book. [Link] Boring. So I had a little fun. Hey, my scribe left me unsupervised with internet access. I’m not responsible for my actions. Papa should have been watching me instead of going for a run in the windy cold. So I posted this to liven … Continue reading Bad Character

Belated Birthdays and Blue Flames tried to stop us.

Hi Readers, Thank you for joining us for our continuing Nor’easter Adventure. Who will prevail–a bunch of lovable fictional characters or the storm? Read on to find out but before you do, the cast (and by the cast I mean me, Ran, your lovable host,) would like to wish our hardworking scribe a belated happy birthday. We forgot to announce that during last week’s excitement, but on the actual day, March 10, we turned out in force to demand she write our books instead of creating a culinary disaster. Well, we tried. Said disaster is sitting in the trash and … Continue reading Belated Birthdays and Blue Flames tried to stop us.

Some Angels Fall before they Fly

Hi Readers! Here’s your first look at some cover concepts for His Angelic Keeper. The book stars Sovvan, the sister and angel-in-training of my Papa. In it, Sovvan kicks butt, *borrows* swords, annoys angels and generally gets into mayhem as she tries to save her brother (my Papa). Somehow Auntie Sovvan found time during all that craziness to convince Heaven to give her a chance and a set of training wings. His Angelic Keeper takes place in between Curse Breaker: Enchanted and Curse Breaker: Falls.  So here’s your first look. — Ran, son of Sarn, “cover promoter” Continue reading Some Angels Fall before they Fly

First Look – Curse Breaker: Sundered

Here’s a draft of the cover for Curse Breaker: Sundered. We’re going for the ‘it’s on,’ ‘bring it,’ ‘no holds barred’ kind of look because it’s most definitely on. Papa might be without his magic for the first time in his life, but he’s not letting that stop him. And I’ll be there, his one and only son and sidekick. I have the cuteness angle covered. He’s handling the plans and shouldering the fate of everything because he’s got the shoulders for it. 😉 This is not final yet. We have to get ahold of our scribe’s credit card to … Continue reading First Look – Curse Breaker: Sundered
