In any case, The Errant Prince has been out a few days now. Thank you to everyone who's bought it or read it! I hope it was enjoyable. (If you haven't gotten yours yet, you can pick it up at LT3, Amazon, Kobo, and ARe and most other major retailers.)
Losing Ground is a novella that ran as my last standalone serial. (If ya'll recall back last summer/fall I was asking what I should write next; that was the winner. ^^) It's slow burn, urban fantasy, and probably the closest I'll ever get to writing contemporary (excepting the Paranormal Days short stories). I had a lot of fun writing Carter and his family, who are all very close, and then Tai, who shows up with no family or friends (and uh, trust issues out the wazoo). Here is the official blurb:
Carter Bellwood's family has Earth-claimed the Bellwood territory for generations and they've always had an excess of Earth energy to back it up. Until Carter, whose energy is barely a fraction of that his mother has. But he's the only Earth wizard in his generation and set to inherit the territory—if there's anything left of it. The territory is being ravaged by a disease that kills all plant life it comes into contact with. They can't cure it, can barely contain it, can only watch as their territory turns into a barren landscape.
Then a new Earth wizard shows up. Tai is everything Carter is not when it comes to the strength of his magic, and more importantly he knows how to cure the disease. But he's also terrified and clearly on the run from something, and Carter's not sure Tai's help is worth the risk of him trying to stake his own claim on the territory—or the risk that whatever he's running from finds him...

(I'm trying a new giveaway tool, so let me know if you have issues with it. Also, fair warning, I will delete with great vigor any entries that don't follow the rules.)
I had homemade pizza with pepperoni slices and lots of vegetables. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!
I didn't eat breakfast, but my first meal of the day was some corn tortillas with chicken and cheese melted inside. Light and easy. I just heard this yesterday: Q. What's your favorite thing to have for breakfast? A. Lunch.
ReplyDeleteI picked up my copy of The Errant Prince from LT3, but I haven't gotten it read yet. I'm looking forward to it, though. :) Thanks for the chance at Losing Ground!
