Interview: Anyta Sunday, Author of Locked

by

A curse threatens the Winter Kingdom. A brother is turned to ice.  A rebel uprising is on the horizon. Marble-maker Rye Cunnings is at the center of it all—and doesn’t know it. He doesn’t know he’s the lost summer prince. Doesn’t know his blood can unlock Winter’s curse. Doesn’t know why the marbles he makes flutter with magic. All he thinks is that he’s crazy. That he sees things others don’t, like dragons and strange markings on his skin. But when a dark dragon snatches away Rye’s only friend Milo, he is forced to face the crazy in his life and figure … Read more

Jessie G Books

Jessie G. Books hosts a great guest post for Myths Untold: Faery by yours truly – where I talk about my journey as an author: Thanks, Jessie, for having me on your blog!

I wrote a novel in my early twenties, and sent it out to ten publishers. I was sure it would be snapped up and my career as a writer would be assured. A month went by, then two, and … Read more

“Myths Untold: Faery” Stops By Sue Brown’s Blog

by
Sue Brown

Today, Sue Brown hosts another stop for Myths Untold: Faery – this time, Brandon Witt talks about exploring Faery: One of the reasons I jumped at the chance to be part of this Faery Anthology was for the opportunity to do something different. The idea of this book was two fold. Center around fairies and LGBTQ themes. When I was asked to take part, I wrote back quickly and asked, “Does that mean it doesn’t to be a romance?” The second they said that was exactly what it means, I said yes. I’ve grown to love romance, but I wanted … Read more

3 Chicks After Dark

The Three Chicks After Dark are hosting a stop on our blog tour today, and Skye talks about what’s on her playlist: I always hear authors talk about a specific playlist they listened to while writing. It’s both awesome and daunting. I see a list of ten to fifteen songs they listened to while writing their works, and I’m envious of such lists. Why? Because I’ve never had such lists… See the Full Post And over at Cia Nordwell’s blog, Cia interviews all four of us about the book: What was your first encounter with the Fair Folk—a story, a … Read more

Today’s Blog Tour Stop for The Autumn Lands

by
Cate Ashwood

Today I’m stopping by Cate Ashwood’s blog to answer some interview questions – Thanks Cate! How do you think your writing has developed since you started? Oh, it’s gotten much better. I first started writing when I was in fourth or fifth grade. I wrote on and off until my early twenties, when I finished my first novel. When it and five or ten short stories were all rejected, I kind of lost momentum, and though I tried to come back to it several times, it never really stuck. Somehow, though, I had this idea in the back of my … Read more

Review: King of the Storm, by BA Brock

by

I just finished reading an Advance Reading Copy of King of the Storm, the first novel from author BA Brock, which came out on Tuesday. Let me say first that I have known BA for about two years now – he is the reviewer for the Queer Sci Fi site, and I was privileged to read a bit of the novel in beta, when it was posted to our critique group. But reading pieces and reading the whole thing are two entirely different experiences. I now know how everything fits together! The book takes place in Greece, but just to … Read more
