Casey L Bond's Next Title Reveal

It's an exciting day! Today, on October 9th, 2020, Casey L Bond has given a bunch of us the opportunity to share the title for her next book! I genuinely love her books and I'm slowly collecting them (it's my goal to get signed versions of all of them!), so I am beyond excited to get to do this!

Are you ready?

You sure?

Let's go!



WITH SHIELD AND INK AND BONE, coming out this November!

Her cover reveal is coming October 16, the trailer is coming out on the 30th, and the release blitz is from November 13 to November 15th! I can't wait to see any of them!

Not much has been revealed yet, but what I do know is that this is a historical fantasy about a biking witch (!!!!) and I'm thinking that the inclusion of this temporary tattoo means tattoos will play a part! As someone who'd love to get tatted up six ways to Sunday, tattoos in books always excite me.

To find out more about her books and sign up for her newsletter, you can find her site here! Amazon links to all of her books can also be found there, but if you ask nicely she can give you a form to order a signed book or two!

"With Shield and Ink and Bone, I will have my vengeance." 

Casey L Bond, With Shield and Ink and Bone.

Description as found on Casey L Bond's website:
A hard-earned shield. 
 
Days before she is to take her place as a shield maiden, like her mother before her, two deaths alter the course of Liv’s future. One belonged to a witch who called her by name, the other a chieftain from the north. Vengeance for the chieftain’s death comes in a wild fury that burns her village and slaughters her family. Left for dead, Liv pleads to Skuld – norn and weaver of the future – to spare her. A deal is struck that will endow her with the dark magic needed to claim her vengeance. But this power comes at an unfathomable price…
 
Ink made from the ashes of loved ones. 
 
After his home is attacked, Calder races to warn neighboring villages of the threat. Little does he know he’s traveling into the path of fate that will lead him straight to Liv. Despite being broken, angry, and overwhelmed by power she cannot contain, it’s her willingness to defend others that draws Calder to her. 
 
Armor forged from the bones of those she held dear. 
 
Together, Liv and Calder discover they are two sides of the same sharpened blade. Rising from the heartache and fury in their pasts, they see a future together worth fighting for. With their strengths and hearts combined, can they become a force powerful enough to defeat the fleet of darkness coming for them? Or will the thread of fate that binds them unravel?

Thank you so much to the author for giving a review copy of this book! A Generation of Poppies by Saga Hillbom is a WWI historical fiction centering around the lives of Rosalie Wilkes and Charles D'Aboville and their experiences in the war effort. I almost described it as a historical romance but opted not to as, while romance is very much a big part of the plot, our two main characters spend large swaths of it on other endeavors alongside their desires for each other. Rosalie, an upper-class young woman from England, lies about her age to join the VADs and is sent to France to take care of injured soldiers. Charles, meanwhile, had no active desire to join the war efforts, and only did to avoid the consequences of refusal. There's a lot of set-up, as there always is in Hillbom's books, showing us the idyllic lives both characters lived before the war. Good friends, ample free time, and delicious food make a harsh contrast to the horrors of war later in the book. It's al

An Interview With Clara Loveman!

Image
Crown of Crowns  by the illustrious Clara Loveman came out on August 11, 2020, and since then I've been helping build some hype towards the book! And today, I have the luck of having Clara Loveman herself answer some questions about her book and her writing process! Before we jump in, I'd like to share the Amazon blurb to jog your memory: In a kingdom where the ruling and lower classes live and die apart by law, a noblewoman and a commoner make a fatal mistake: they fall in love. Kaelyn, a young noblewoman, feels smothered under the harsh constraints of the Decens-Lenitas, the legal and moral code that governs the people of the Geniverd Kingdom. When she meets Roki, a handsome young man from the city with knowledge and aspirations beyond his status, Kaelyn realizes she’s not the only person trapped. She starts to question everything she thought she knew, including about the Gurnots, a group of rebels set on overthrowing the laws—people who the nobles have labeled as terrorists.

Heart of the Fae by Emma Hamm is a Beauty and the Beast retelling with heavy, heavy inspiration from old Celtic mythology. Now, I can’t remember exactly how I heard about this book, but it was on my Amazon wishlist for a while and I stumbled across it again. I love books about faeries. I love books about healers. I love fairytale retellings. This is all three, and it is wonderful. The main character, Sorcha, is a midwife who lives in a brothel (side note: this book is sex work positive. How rare is that? Definite plus for me!) Her home, Uí Néill, is being plagued with horrible parasites, and her adoptive father falls prey to them. When begging for help from a mostly-forgotten goddess, Sorcha is sent on a journey that takes her to an island of exiled fae where a banished king, Eamonn, hides in an ancient castle. The writing is wonderful. Hamm is witty, descriptive, and thrilling in her style. Nothing moves too fast or too slow, and we get gorgeous descriptions of the fae lands and the
