Ms. Brandt is proud to present The Line, and the additional novels in the complete series, A Fine Line, Keeping in Line, and The Line Up (available individually or as an anthology). Each of the lighthearted novels was created for high school students and alumni in marching band. As a former drumline member, Courtney enjoys bringing a fictional voice to band geeks worldwide. The author also released an additional stand-alone novel, Major Pain, and is delighted to also include the duology, Confessions of a Teenage Band Geek and the recently released More Confessions of a Teenage Band Geek, as published novels in the genre.

Courtney is also very proud of her young adult steampunk trilogy. The complete set of novels includes The Queen of England

Confessions takes place independently after the Line series (when you go back and read the Line, you might recognize a character or two showing up in Julia's world). Major Pain is another stand alone novel where I include a cameo from The Line group.

I'm so glad you enjoyed my book!

“And now we both blushed, because things like changing one’s garments should not be discussed among a Queen and one of her subjects.”
Courtney Brandt, The Queen of England: Coronation

“At that idea, I grinned. Queen of England. Single mother. What would my opposition say about that?”
Courtney Brandt, The Queen of England: Grand Tour

“Denny and McDaniel go into the percussion room and grab a bizarre metal contraption. Denny lifts it over his head and I give him a strange look, to which he responds like I’m a five year old, “Carr-i-er.”
Courtney Brandt, Confessions of a Teenage Band Geek

“And who exactly are you supposed to be, the Queen of England?”
Courtney Brandt, The Queen of England: Coronation

“My station has barely recovered from the massacre, and we have not held my formal coronation, not to mention the fact I am only eighteen years of age and have no parent present. How on earth do people expect me to find a husband in all of this nonsense?”
Courtney Brandt, The Queen of England: Coronation

“At that idea, I grinned. Queen of England. Single mother. What would my opposition say about that?”
Courtney Brandt, The Queen of England: Grand Tour

“Sophomore Lucy Karate took a deep breath and concentrated her moss green eyes on the black squiggles in front of her. The sheet music on the page was exactly the same it had been for the past ten months. The difference wasn’t the music; it was the day. This was the day before auditions – her last opportunity to practice before her fate for the next school year was ultimately decided.”
Courtney Brandt, The Line

“Did Jonathan not realize that sometimes a girl didn’t want to be honorable? That sometimes young women had the same desires and needs as young men?”
Courtney Brandt, The Queen of England: Coronation
