Equinox and St. Paddy's Day Month!

Happy March! And Happy Equinox! And Happy St. Patrick's Day!

For March, I have a whole host of news, books you might enjoy for St. Patrick's Day and upcoming release information.

First up on the news, JOAN AND THE GOBLINS is officially out wide as of today! If you haven't already picked it up at KatSimonsBooks, now's the chance to get at any of the other vendors you prefer.


JOAN AND THE GOBLINS
A Joan of Kerry Story

Bogs, goblins, and a monster more ancient than a dragon…

Joan and her dragon companion Rory find themselves on the hunt. For goblins. A group of annoying goblins who have stolen something they shouldn’t have touched. Something that could raise a monster so deadly and so ancient, even Rory doesn’t have a name for the creature.

Goblins without a king are goblins causing trouble. Goblins trying to be the king cause chaos that could get the entire island of Ireland destroyed. Joan and Rory must stop the would-be king and his companions before it’s too late. Before the deadly monster comes looking for its stolen treasure.

Because even a hero, her dragon, and her legendary sword might not be enough to stop this ancient threat.

And if you just can't get enough of Joan and Rory, the Free Read at The Café at KatSimonsBooks is a Joan of Kerry story! Joan visits The Café, and there's also a goblin involved, because of course there is. That one's a free read until April 1st so don't miss out!!

Dragon Thief readers, I have lots of news for you! The prelaunch for the Kickstarter page is available to follow, and I'll be launching on April 1st (I know, I know, but it's not a joke, I promise! LOL). If you follow the prelaunch page, you'll get a notification as soon as I launch, so you won't forget. And apparently having people follow the campaign helps it get off to a good start even if you can't back for some reason. Any help, even just following along, will help, so THANK YOU!




There will be all kinds of fun stuff in the Kickstarter, but primarily it will be to fund some very cool special editions of the omnibus! Don't miss out!

And speaking of Dragon Thief, the next book is up for preorder now! THE GREEN SCROLL JOB, Book 8 in the series, and the second story in Season Two, follows our new the team learning to work together. There are growing pains, bad guys, and ancient magic. It's fun! I encourage you to read it.

"Despite growing pains and shaky trust, Myra, Christopher, and the team have a new distressed damsel to rescue. And saving their client from some very dangerous people will mean confronting ancient, deadly magic."

THE GREEN SCROLL JOB is out at KatSimonsBooks on April 23rd, and will release wide on June 10th. You can preorder at either KatSimonsBooks or at your preferred vendor to get the book delivered right to you on launch day!


Missed the Book 7 launch at the store? Never worry, the wide release for THE CROWN OF KINGSHIP JOB is out in April too! It's still available at my store if you're in a hurry and want to get it early. But on April 9th, it will arrive in all the stores. It's also available for preorder now if you'd like to make sure it lands in your reader on the day.

And for my print readers, do not despair! This series begins making its way into print with the Kickstarter. The individual books will go to print and there are options for those in the Kickstarter. They'll be available at KatSimonsBooks to buy direct, and also available wide from most bookstores--available to order if they aren't on the shelf.

More on that next month during the Kickstarter run!

But speaking of paperback editions of books, I've started putting some of my shorter stories and novellas into print for print readers! I'll be working on this one series at a time. This month was the Percy James Mystery series!

They're currently available at Amazon stores and at KatSimonsBooks for buying directly from me. But they're making their way out to other bookstores soon, so keep an eye out!

Next up on my move-to-print list is obviously the Dragon Thief series, but I'm also going to be getting the Joan of Kerry series into print soon too! Hopefully they'll be ready to go out by May. Just need a little reworking on the covers. I will keep you updated here!

AND! Because it happens to be St. Patrick's Day (or well, it was just before this page went live), this is a reminder that I have a couple of books for that :)


Not only do I have some fun reads for the day that celebrates all things Irish, JOAN AND THE LEPRECHAUN as well as CARY'S LEPRECHAUN TROUBLES are both on sale at my store now for only $0.99 until the end of the month! They are also on sale everywhere eBooks are sold until March 23rd! Don't miss out.

With all that, a little reminder that if you prefer to get your news direct to your inbox, my reader newsletter will keep you updated on all of these activities, with the added benefit of the occasional excerpt, cover reveal, store coupons, and all new subscribers get two exclusive stories! So if you're interested in staying up to date without having to remember to swing by the website, join my newsletter now.

Okay, I think that's probably enough news for one month (I did warn it was a lot LOL). Next month, the Kickstarter launches and new Dragon Thief stories go live! An exciting month!

Until then, Happy Equinox! And Happy St. Patrick's Day.
And Happy Reading,
