Join me for an evening to celebrate the book birthday of Christoffer Johansen and the Return to Jötunheim.

There will be games:

  • Seriously Fierce Scavenger “Wild” Hunt – You can start anytime on the quest as I’ve posted it in anticipation of the event. This gives everyone plenty of time to do it!
  • Seriously Fierce Live Trivia Event – Play from your phone, computer, or tablet. It’s super fun and easy to do. Be sure to use a name that I can recognize and is all ages friendly. The highest scoring individual wins a prize!
  • Seriously Fierce Book Bingo – Go ahead and grab your bingo card early. Print it out or play online. Make a note of the card number as it will be used to verify your card. The individual to call Bingo wins a prize!

There will be a live reading from the book.

There will be time for questions and answers.

At some point it’s basically guaranteed that there will be a dog stealing the show. Oskar is a cutie. If you see him give a shout!

The event is hosted live on Facebook and will be posted to YouTube for replay for anyone who misses the evening. So pop the popcorn, grab a drink, wearing your fuzzy socks, and comfy pj’s and let’s have a party!

Replay of Aleks Mickelsen and the Eighth Fox Throne War Midnight Release Party

By

If you missed the midnight release party for Aleks Mickelsen and the Eighth Fox Throne War last month, you can watch the replay, which is now available on YouTube. Grab a friend and try your luck at some Seriously Fierce Trivia, and take a spin on book bingo.

You’re Invited to Aleks’ Book Birthday!

By

It is with great pleasure and joy that I tell you Aleks Mickelsen and the Eighth Fox Throne War releases on May 24, 2019. I hope you’re as excited as I am! Do you see this gorgeous cover? Isn’t it lovely?

What wonderful things can we we expect from Aleks and the rest of the gang? Plenty of action that’s for sure! But also history about the remaining undisclosed fox throne wars. You’ll meet a certain winterling’s general father and have an new/old friend pop by unexpectedly. Dragon machinations and powers heretofore hinted are seen in full force and our changeling hero must face destiny square in the face and decide which path he will choose. 

You can pre-order the ebook on Amazon:https://amzn.to/2WhGQee

The print book will also be available to purchase on Friday.

The audio book is in production and will be coming out within the next month or two and you’re going to love it.

Join me this Thursday evening at 10:30 PM EST on the Zaria Fierce Facebook page for a late night launch party event to celebrate the release of Aleks Mickelsen and the Eighth Fox Throne War. There will be trivia, bingo, prizes, readings from the book, and a question and answer session. It’s going to be so much fun!

Time: 10:30 PM – 12 AM

ICYMI: Unboxing Author Copies and Midnight Book Release Pajama Party

By

Hi everyone! In case you missed it here are the videos from when I did a few live videos this past week leading up to the release of Zaria Fierce and the Dragon Keeper’s Golden Shoes, the third book in the Zaria Fierce Trilogy. Oskar pie steals the show I think in both cases. xoxo

Unboxing Zaria Fierce and the Dragon Keeper’s Golden Shoes:

The necklace I’m wearing in the above video can be purchased here.

Midnight Book Release Pajama Party:

The necklace I’m wearing in the above video was a gift, but it looks like this necklace is an exact match.

#teamstaglord #teamhart #teamellefolken LOL

Thanks for watching!

In other news the print and ebook versions are available at Amazon. The audio book version is coming soon. Michele is hard at work putting on the finishing touches.

Lots of great reviews are starting to come in for the third book. Check them out!

Brenda’s at Log Cabin Library:

Zaria is able to fall on her friends for support and their continual encouragement give her just the confidence she needs to keep trying, to persevere. They never hold her mistakes against her and won’t allow Zaria to take the blame for being tricked. For me, it’s one of my favorite parts in reading this series, well that and the unique qualities that each character brings to the story.

Ner’s at Cup of Coffee and Book:

As always, I’m completely mesmerised by how much the Norwegian folklore is present in these books. There were a few new “beasts” such as the banshees and the mares (which scared the living hell out of me to be honest) but the same old creatures made a cameo. We had the trolls, witches, the dwarves, the ellefolken, dragons, the lot. The fantasy in these books is strong and so beautifully explore and described I almost felt like I could wander through Norway and stumble upon these eerie creatures and realms.

Rosemary’s at Mom Read It:

Recommended for middle grade collections where fantasy is popular. I’d book talk this with other hero’s journey tales like CS Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia and Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson/Magnus Chase series; they’ll have a firmer frame of reference when you present the series with these popular fantasy tales. Talk up Zaria as a strong female character who overcomes her fears and self-doubts to outwit monsters, and save herself and her friends!
