A Bite of Magic... Celebration! Samples and Giveaway!



Magic isn't a handful of sparkling dust, a star-topped wand, or a tame word captured on parchment.

It's alive. It has a mind of its own. And it's hungry.


To celebrate the release of Slippers of Pearl and Bitten: A Novel of Faerie, I'd like to offer a bite of magic to all those who love kidlit--and fairy tales in particular.



There will be eleven winners and six different prizes available:



A Bite of Cobbler



Shoes, unlike magic, are predictable. They don’t change shape, bite, or alter a person’s destiny.
And that’s just how Faryn likes it.

But his Uncle Harvey has a bad habit of dying. While inconvenient, this hasn’t ever been a problem until now. Thanks to an evil witch and a poisoned apple turnover, Harvey is dead again—permanently this time.

As his uncle’s heir, Faryn has to give up shoemaking in order to accept and refine his magic.
Magic he never wanted.

Unwilling to let go of his dream, but unable to escape his destiny, Faryn combines the two and discovers a knack for making magical shoes. He also learns that turning a person into a goose is a lot easier than turning her back, and that he severely underestimated how much trouble magic can be.
The witch who killed his uncle is trying to control all the magic of the land, and it’s up to Faryn to stop her. If only he can get his magic to cooperate in time.

A Bite of Faerie
(Available October 2nd-ish)



Fourteen-year-old Cherrie Wilding stopped believing in fairies after her Grams had a stroke that left her a silent, empty stranger. But whether she believes in them or not, one of them bit her, and now the venom is spreading through her system and causing  . . . complications. Like an allergy to iron and a craving for milk.





It turns out that fairy venom has the power to turn mortals into small, winged versions of themselves. And it gets better. Grams's stroke was the result of her light—her fairy soul—being stolen. The fairy who bit Cherrie demands her to help steal Grams’s light back. 


As much as Cherrie wants to save Grams, her need to protect her older brother from the fairies and the rest of the real world wins out. Who knows what lurks in a world populated by winged menaces? But when the fairy talks Cherrie’s brother into going to the fairy realm, Cherrie mounts a rescue attempt to save him. To her surprise, it’s not her brother who needs rescuing—it’s the fairies. Someone is stealing their lights and imprisoning them, and it’s up to Cherrie and her brother to free them. But saving the fairies, keeping her brother safe, and returning home requires the help of the Phoenix. And the price for his aid doesn’t come cheap. If Cherrie wants to succeed, she must be willing to part with her greatest possession: her heart.

  24. Due to the ban of smoking in public areas, vaporizers are used by many smokers as an
    alternative for smoking. Pharmacies and department stores stock the shelves with various sizes of humidifiers.
    If you invest in a lower priced vaporizer, it may not function properly or end up breaking down and needing replacement.

  26. After this, you should ensure that the herbs are heated up and then the vapor is inhaled.
    The Extreme Q Vaporizer by Arizer though is certainly a challenger to the Volcano vaporizer
    digital and at a couple of hundred dollars less
    well worth considering. Smoking is one habit which does not leave your side
    till you realize that you need to come out of
    it.

  29. While the images could be seen as deathly. While at LDAC,
    all of the member's phones are try to abuse them I'm afraid I can't embrace the good tunes and overlook the "troubling stuff" and the "attendant problems" just yet.

  36. It is a need for a boy, drink cola products, eat more red meats
    and stick with salty snacks like pretzels and chips.
