What’s new
Malinda and I selected our signature cocktails for our after party next month! In addition to celebrating the launch of Flowerantha, which came out in July, I will also be releasing the first in a series of short stories set in the land of Flowerantha on September 19.
Flowerantha, my middle-grade fantasy novel published under my pen name, Bek Castro, is now available on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle and on Smashwords! It will be trickling out to other retailers, such as Barnes & Noble and iBooks within the week.
Here’s the description:
Thirteen-year-old Mash is growing weary of life in the tree house. He dreams of someday getting out of Flowerantha, much to the dismay of his best friend, a mermaid. When two girls from another land stumble into his, Mash sees his chance.
But the monsternites, Tyrannosaurus Rexes with wings, may find the girls first. Their grudge against the other land spans a decade, and they are not willing to let it go yet.
Mash must work together with a young army recruit, who dislikes Mash even before they meet, to return the girls to their land. If they fail, the girls may be trapped forever. And so would he.
Come join Malinda Andrews and me at the W J Niederkorn Library in Port Washington from 10 am until noon on Saturday, September 19! We will be celebrating the launches of both of our fantasy novels, Through the Mountains and Flowerantha, respectively, by reading excerpts and answering questions. Snacks will be provided! We’ll also have copies of our books on hand if anyone would like to purchase one. We’d love to see you there!
I’m very close to publishing my next book, Flowerantha! Since it’s so different from Front Row, I’ll be publishing it under a pen name – Bek Castro. If you are interested in fantasy novels, you can get a free advanced copy if you join my mailing list between now and July 3. Why free? To (hopefully) get people excited about it! Who doesn’t love free stuff?
Front Row is now available on iTunes, NOOK, and Smashwords! You can also sample 20% of the book before you buy it!
