Lollipops, Garlic, and Basement Salamanders
As
I mentioned over on Wetknee last week, I've decided to team up with a
few select authors whose writings complement my own. I figure
we'll all win --- the new authors will get a boost by being publicized
on our site and email list and in the back of my books, my books will
get a boost by being publicized in the back of their books, and our
loyal readers will get a boost by hearing about quality ebooks (and when
they're free or on sale).
Our first author is Aimee Easterling, who you can read more about here.
Today, we're launching her first short-story collection. Even
though it may be outside your primary genre, those of you who enjoyed Watermelon Summer
will probably love Lollipops, Garlic, and Basement Salamanders because
of its vivid portrayals of the natural world and a simple-living
ethic. Here's the blurb:
So begins the first of three urban-fantasy short stories. From the first page, Aimee Easterling's affinity for the natural world makes settings sparkle even before Fae enter the scene. Soon the protagonists have to rescue errant children from fairyland, outwit a botanical wordsmith, and overcome a slumbering salamander.
Will they be clever enough to outwit the Fae?
Stay tuned for excerpts
from the first short story this week, or buy the whole ebook for 99
cents. If you don't mind waiting, you can also pick up the book
for free on Friday --- stay tuned. Thanks for reading, and
double thanks if you find the time to leave a review on Amazon!
Your early reviews tempt strangers to take a chance on our books and are
much appreciated.
