Hi Readers! Welcome back! This is your host, Ran, son of Sarn, from the ever-expanding Curse Breaker series. 🙂 This week, a lot’s happening. Let’s pull back the curtain and head backstage for a look. Follow me! (Just drop down the rabbit hole. Don’t worry. There’s a soft cushion at the other end to catch you. If you miss it, Auntie Sovvan is standing by with catcher’s mitts, so you’re covered either way.) First off, Tuesday, March 10, is our Scribe, Melinda’s, birthday. (Yay!) It’s also the release day for the first multi-author anthology our publishing house, Magical Mayhem Press, … Continue reading Come Behind the Scenes

Hi Readers, Welcome back! Did you have a great week? You’re not going to believe what we’ve been up to. Okay, maybe you would since you have read our books. Now, you’re wondering what trouble we’ve gotten ourselves into now. Admit it. Well, wonder no more. Yours truly, your host, Ran, Sarn’s adorable son and sidekick did not get into trouble this week. Shocking right? Well, there’s enough mayhem of the magical variety to share around here, and this week, Auntie Sovvan took first place in that. What did she do? Well, first off, she hijacked the plot of Curse … Continue reading The Dragon in the Room

Hi Readers, We’re back. This week, our Scribe, Melinda, put together the final file for Wayward Magic, the second anthology in the trilogy of fantasy anthologies, collectively called Magic Underground. She just sent that file to the formater! Yay! What’s Wayward Magic about? Well, it contains within its magical pages another story about Thing and his mate, Amal. You guessed it. They’re in trouble again. (No surprise there. His Orneriness excels at getting in trouble.) But this time, not just their friend’s life is at stake but his soul too when dark magic infects him with its evil. Thing and … Continue reading Wayward Magic on the Loose

Finished! It didn’t end where I wanted it to. The characters didn’t do what I wanted them to do either. I like where this story went. I’m just annoyed I can’t follow it up with the story I wanted to tell because they didn’t set that one up. No, I have to finish what they started in this one then build the next conflict. 😬 I’m certain they planned it that way just to get a couple more sequels than I’d planned. The nerve of those characters. Get “Spell of Scales & Steel” in the anthology, Forgotten Magic. Go to … Continue reading It’s Done!

Hi Readers! It’s your friendly fictional character, Ran, Sarn’s son, and I’m back with good news. Melinda is finishing up Spell of Scales & Steel for the Forgotten Magic Anthology today then moving onto Curse Breaker: Hidden! You can’t see it, but I’m holding a list of demands for that book in my hot little hands. Since the next big story arc in the Curse Breaker series is all about me, I stand a good chance of getting all my demands met. 🙂 Papa might not enjoy that experience, but he needs to broaden his horizons. I also have review … Continue reading Would you give us some stars?

Hi Readers! As the image below shows, we’ve been busy! The three *test* covers are for the three stories our scribe, Melinda, wrote for the trilogy of anthologies we’re producing. Collectively, we’re calling them ‘Magic Underground’ because Papa and I happen to live under a mountain. 😉 He’s got wings and a swift-flying mate, but they’re fighting a dangerous magic with nothing but their wits and claws. If they fail, they’ll lose more than their only human friend. Adventure with Thing and Amal as they risk it all. Get their story in Spell of Shadow & Light1) Spell of Wings & … Continue reading Spells, Wings, and Flying Things

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)
