Cover Reveal – Of Fire and Ash

triciamingerinkLeave a comment

I’m so excited today to post the cover reveal for Of Fire and Ash, the next book by Gillian Bronte Adams! I LOVE her Songkeeper Chronicles, and I’m sure I’m going to love this one even more…after all, it features magical horses and their warrior riders!!!! How COOL is that!!!! Of Fire and Ash will be releasing from @enclavepublishing in December 2021. This is the first book in the YA fantasy trilogy, The Fireborn Epic, and is available to preorder in Limited-Edition Hardcover.

About the Book:

She rides a fireborn, a steed of fire and ash, trained for destruction.

Ceridwen tal Desmond dreams of ruling like her father over the nation of Soldonia, where warriors ride to battle on magical steeds—soaring on storm winds, vanishing in shadow, quaking the earth, and summoning the sea. After a tragic accident claims her twin brother, she is exiled and sworn to atonement by spending her life—or death—for her people.

But when invaders spill onto Soldonia’s shores and traitors seize upon the chaos to murder her father, Ceridwen claims the crown to keep the nation from splintering. Combatting overwhelming odds and looming civil war, she begins to wonder if the greatest threat to the kingdom may, in fact, be her.

With fire before her and ash in her wake, how can she hope to unite instead of destroy?

Ready to see the cover???? The illustrator is Darko Tomic, who illustrated Gillian’s other series.

The Blades of Acktar Fandom Store!

triciamingerink8 Comments

After years of many of you asking for me to put together a fandom store for The Blades of Acktar, I’ve finally done it! I’m ridiculously excited with how these items turned out, and I’m trying really hard not to buy all the things myself!

And, yes, you’ll be taken over to my pen name’s website to a secret page hidden there exclusively for all of you. It was simpler to combine the store for both publishing names into one site due to costs and stuff like that. If you didn’t yet know that I had a pen name…yes, I have a general market pen name. I hope you enjoy those books too.

Announcement and a Sale!

There are some big changes coming to this website.

First, I’ve added a store! Right now, you can purchase the 4 audiobooks for The Blades of Acktar directly from me. This means you pay less than retail, you completely own the audiobooks, and I get all the profits. It’s a serious win-win! When you purchase the audiobooks directly from me, you’ll be able to either listen to them in the Bookfunnel app or download the MP3 files to listen however you like.

I’m really excited about being able to offer direct sales of audiobooks this way. I’ve tested out the purchasing of audiobooks directly from the author, and I really liked the experience.

Click here to explore my shop!

Besides audiobooks, I’m planning to expand the store to include direct sales of the ebooks of all my books as well.

To do this, that means the ebooks will be leaving Kindle Unlimited this summer.

It will be a gradual process as each book’s enrollment in KU ends and I can switch them over. The ebooks will still be available for purchase on Amazon. They just won’t be available for rent via Kindle Unlimited. BUT they will eventually be for sale everywhere ebooks are sold, including directly from me via my website!

Dare and Decree are the first books that will be leaving KU. For that reason, I’m running a sale on both of these books for this weekend so that you can snap up your copy! (Please note that the sale starts tomorrow).


Click here to find the books on Amazon!

Eventually, I might add more things to the store. The Blades of Acktar fandom merchandise, perhaps. Preorders of The Blades of Acktar hardcovers once they are released this summer or fall. Fun stuff.

What would you like to see available in a shop on my website?

Cover Reveal for Madness Solver in Wonderland

triciamingerink1 Comment

Today I have a cover reveal for an author friend, E.E. Rawls!

Book Blurb:

Teenage Madnes Hatter wants more to life than what his island hometown has to offer—and he definitely doesn’t want a boring future in hat-making, like his parents. But he sure doesn’t expect a well-dressed cat named Cheshire to suddenly pop into his life and make everything worse—giving him the power of the Madness Solver and making him the guardian and peacekeeper between Wonderland and Earth.

What the heck? When he said he wanted more to life, this wasn’t what he meant! Now, he’s the only one who can see Wonderland creatures as they walk the streets, and when there’s trouble, it’s his job to solve it. His friends, Alice and Harrey, think he’s going crazy.

But when a problem arises with the portals linking Wonderland to Earth, an old mystery is brought to light—the case of the death of the previous Madness Solver. Will Madnes meet the same fate, with the guardian power sapping away at his life? Wonderland’s ruler, the Red King, has cast a dangerous spell, and an ancient evil is rising. Madnes may not have long to save his friends and both worlds before it’s too late…

Golgotha Cover Reveal

triciamingerinkLeave a comment

I’m late on posting this, but Angela R. Watts has revealed the cover for her upcoming Christian fantasy Golgotha!

Four unlikely companions must band together to escape the Realm of Bones and save their kingdom from a reign of darkness.

Prince Moray will lead his empire to glory, even if it means dabbling with forbidden black magic. But when their parents are murdered, Moray and his brother, Finnigan, are cast into Golgotha—a realm where hope is dead. Finnigan fiercely believes his god, Elohai, will rescue them, but Moray will never trust again.

Princess Ama, promised in marriage to Moray to ensure her clan’s safety from rival tribes, arrives just before a coup and becomes trapped in Golgotha with the smart-mouthed mercenary, Gunnar. Surrounded by strange monsters and ravenous demons, Ama must fight to hold on to her faith—or lose everything.

Despite Ama’s Gift of prophetic dreams, Finnigan’s Gift of energy, Moray’s magic, and Gunnar’s blades, nothing can rescue them from themselves. If they fail to escape, darkness will devour the entire kingdom.

Shadow and Bone meets Mark of the Raven in this epic for fans of faith-based young adult fantasy.

Writing Updates

triciamingerinkLeave a comment

I know I haven’t done much of a writing update lately, especially here on the blog.

If you are following this blog, I am going to be putting more effort into my mailing list rather than posting here. About the only thing I plan to post on this blog are posts for blog tours.

That means if you want to be the first to know about new releases or news, then signing up for my newsletter mailing list is the BEST way to do that. You are likely to miss something if you are only following the blog. You can sign up for my newsletter here.

The question I get asked the most often is “Will there still be a Blades of Acktar book 6 and when is it releasing?”

I am still planning to eventually release a Blades of Acktar book 6 & 7. BUT I don’t have a release date. I can tell you already, it most likely won’t be this year.

If you want to know right away as soon as I have a release date, then signing up for my newsletter is the BEST way to do that.

Black Friday Sales!

Hello, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful and healthy Thanksgiving yesterday! Even in this crazy year, we all have so much to be thankful for (I know I do!) and Thanksgiving Day is a good time to stop, pause, and reflect on the year. Even if you don’t live in the United States, the end of the year is a good time to pause and reflect and be grateful, even if you aren’t celebrating a specific holiday.

So even though the rest of this post is going to be flooded with advertisements of books sales, those books sales are one of the things I’m grateful for this year. I’m grateful I get to write stories and share them with people. I’m thankful to have formed relationships with so many fellow authors who are writing amazing stories and sharing them with the world. I’m thankful for readers who are so voracious for stories that I’m forever getting asked for other books I recommend now that they have finished all of mine. So, thank you!

About the Book

Which would you choose—save your sister or save the world?

Emma Edsel’s first priority has always been protecting her blind sister Carla. So when Carla begins to develop science-defying abilities that threaten her life, Emma will stop at nothing to save her. With nowhere else to turn, she seeks help from Mitchell, the new boy at school who seems to know much more about it than he will admit.

After his last mission went horribly awry, Mitchell Banks is relieved to have a simple task: seal a small, accidental portal between Earth and other worlds in the multiverse. He didn’t count on his growing feelings for Emma—and the dangerous levels of dimension energy contaminating Carla.

Carla knows the voice in her head is evil. Manipulative. Feeding her with a strange energy she can control. She doesn’t know that she is the key to a coming global catastrophe and Mitchell’s boss will use any means possible to prevent it…including blackmailing him into murdering her.

Review:

The Void is a young adult novel with a lot of heart and soul and a light sci-fi twist. Emma Edsel is a normal teenager navigating high school and dealing with her difficult family situation. However, the new guy at school is more than a new crush. Something seems up with him, and it seems to be connected with the strange things happening to Emma’s little sister.

This book had me at the edge of my seat. It is so tense, and there is so much on the line for the characters. Don’t let this book’s billing as a young adult read dismiss it as shallow. It is packed with depth and real stakes and consequences for the characters. I was tearing up at one point. It is a great read for all ages!

Tattered Slippers Release Week – A Time of Mourning and Dancing

triciamingerinkLeave a comment

Today is the last day in the Tattered Slippers group release! Today’s release is A Time of Mourning and Dancing by Abigail Falanga. It was supposed to be released on August 27, but technical difficulties caused it to be delayed to August 31.

The bloggers who signed up for this book could post on either August 27 or August 31 so make sure to check if you wanted to see all the fun stuff related to this book on the really cool blog tour! Click here for the schedule to find fun interviews, guest posts by the authors, and reviews of these six books!

A Time of Mourning and Dancing 

Book Description: 

The Floramancy Archives #1 
Once, Toph knew his place in the world. As a respected captain in a victorious army, he had triumph and promotion to look forward to. But crippling injury stole his future and war stole his friend. Belonging nowhere and with nothing left to lose, Toph accepts a challenge that could end his life: discover a secret the princesses will do anything to hide.  

Vicia is a princess, but powerless and in mourning. Her beloved brothers were killed in a war she’s beginning to question. Ever since, she and her eleven sisters have become mere treasure for her stepfather the king to use to barter. A chance meeting with a frightened faery gave a wild hope that they may recover what they’ve lost. But it will cost a dance—and a dangerous secret.  

Soldier and princess must learn to rely on each other if they are to survive curses, slighted fae, and an enchanted lost land. Something dark and powerful lurks in the mists beyond the dance floor, conducting the steps… and time is running out.
