Got a special treat for you today. You know it's special when I'm blogging in the middle of the week and it's not even Insecure Writer's Support Group day!
First up, just releasing today, is Angela Brown's FABLE RANGER: SUMMONS. It's a middle grade novel and something new for Angela. If you're familiar with her work, she generally writes young adult. But, you're in for a treat with this new children's book. I had the opportunity to beta read it early on and I knew some publisher was going to jump at it!
It's a mashup where you'll recognize many of the characters from your favorite fairytales growing up.
Check it out!

Twelve-year-old Casey doesn’t think life could get anymore unfair. Plans for her special basketball tournament are tossed aside by her sister’s change in wedding plans. She even has to be a bridesmaid now, with all the lace and silk and - oh the horror! All she wants is an escape, but she never imagined she’d be swept away to a world of Mother Goose rhymes, fairy tales, stories of Arabian Nights, and oh, by the way, all but one fairy godmother is kidnapped.
Casey learns she’s been summoned as the Fable Ranger to lead the search and rescue of the missing wish-makers. She also discovers she isn’t the hero they would accept. In the world of fairy tales, damsels are not meant to swoop in to save the day.
Now all Casey wants is to go home, a wish easy to grant if the veil between worlds weren’t on lockdown. Taking fate into her own hands, she embarks on an airship flight to find the phoenix tears that can help open her way home. Her journey would’ve gone as smooth as the perfect layup if it weren’t for that pesky bounty the evil Dovetail placed on her head. Casey refuses to fail knowing it would allow the legends of Arabian Nights to disappear forever and leave her trapped in a world unraveling one fairy tale at a time.

In the mood for something more suitable for the older crowd? I'm way behind with my TBR pile, but I did get the chance to read the first book in the series, The Rifters, by M. Pax. It was an excellent read, and sort of a mashup of Steampunk, a modern-day old-western town and a bit of sci fi, with some fun, quirky characters to boot.
A really fun read, and I highly recommend it!
Books I and II are free right now, so find the links below.
Check out the latest novel from The Rifters series, The Reader.

Check out the latest novel from The Rifters series, The Reader.
With the rift closed for the season and no more
monsters to fight, Daelin Long gets bored as librarian in the podunk town of
Settler, Oregon. A job interview and her brother’s arrival present a tempting
opportunity to escape, until her brother and her best friend, a ghost,
disappear.
While Daelin searches for them, more mysteries pile
up: dead people coming back to life, portraits of the town founders replaced
with strange white trees, and people on the other side of the rift returning.
It’s impossible. The portal that allows monsters from other universes to come
to Earth is sealed until next summer.
The Rifters, a secret group protecting our world,
believe the troubles are nothing more than the tantrums of an offended ghost.
Daelin disagrees. If she’s right, the evil hell-bent on destroying Earth has
new technology making the rift more deadly.
Before the monster summons the next apocalypse,
Daelin must find it and destroy it.
Book 3 in the Rifter series.
