The Star Bell: Now Available for Pre-order
This is not an April Fool's joke; I just have terrible timing. At long last, the next volume in The Cendrillon Cycle is available for pre-order! The Star Bell will launch in Kindle and paperback formats on May 27, and you can pre-order your Kindle copy now on Amazon. Go ahead and add it to your Goodreads shelf too!

Elsa Vogel has left her cinder’s life behind to sail with her companions aboard the Sovereign as it embarks on an exploratory mission. The crew’s destination is past the star bell, the last marker of civilization, into uncharted territory.
Elsa is determined to find out what lies beyond the star bell or perish in the attempt. But life aboard a Fleet frigate isn't at all how she dreamed, and old ties to the Tremaine Mining Company—and to her past on Anser—are not so easily severed.
Pick up the story where A Cinder's Tale, published in the internationally best-selling anthology Five Glass Slippers, left off! And don't miss the first volume in The Cendrillon Cycle, The Battle of Castle Nebula.
You may be wondering, why Volume III? What happened to Volume II? You've probably already read it. Here's the lineup:
The Cendrillon Cycle
Volume I: The Battle of Castle Nebula
Volume II: A Cinder's Tale
(published in the Five Glass Slippers anthology)
Volume III: The Star Bell
Clear as mud, no? But I thought it would be less confusing than someone reading The Battle of Castle Nebula and hopping straight to The Star Bell without knowing what happens in A Cinder's Tale.
Either way, I'm so excited for the upcoming launch of The Star Bell , and I hope you enjoy the story!

On sale: The Battle of Castle Nebula
Hello, everyone! We’re now only two weeks away from the launch of
The Star Bell
, and I’m incredibly excited. In celebration of the event, I’ve put
The Battle of Castle Nebula
, Volume 1 in The Cendrillon Cycle, on sale for only $0.99 on Kindle. If you haven’t read it yet, this is your chance!
As we get closer to the launch, there will be other exciting opportunities, like a Goodreads giveaway of an autographed paperback copy of The Star Bell (assuming I can get the darned giveaway feature to work–we have not been getting along). Remember, you can preorder your Kindle copy of The Star Bell any time you want, so it’ll magically appear in your Kindle on the 27th. You can also add it to your Goodreads shelf.
Life has been jam-packed and then some for what feels like an eternity, but I’m shoveling the commitments into a pile out of sight for a while to take a break. It’s my June goal to return to blogging weekly again on www.quoththegirl.wordpress.com, with fun stuff like book reviews (remember when I used to post those?) and other cool things, not just spamming you with promotional news. Stay tuned for the return of the good old blogging days!
