A bit of a change of speed today with my First Page Read.

A reel of me reading the first page of my slightly sci-fi mystery novel, When Memory Lies is now up on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!

Difficult to put down, to be sure.

Me reading the start of chapter 1 of my fairy tale The Light Beyond the Sky is now up on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube🌲🪾✨ The protagonist of this book, Maila, is one of my favorites of my leading ladies 💜

I didn’t stick strictly to the first page for this book because the formatting is such that the actual first page is quite short 🙃

Happy Friday, Everyone!

Me reading the prologue to my fairy tale The Light Beyond the Sky🌲🪾💫 is now up on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!

I think of this book as my second favorite of my novels. I’m not 100% sure that’s true (the Firedark books hold such a special place for me). But when I think of my favorites of my books, my knee-jerk response is, ‘We Were Gods’ then ‘The Light Beyond the Sky’💜

Oh, Agatha. I love you.

A reel of me reading the first page of my historically inspired love story Looking for Atlantis is now up on my Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!🙃

This book is just so cozy and happy and charming 🥹🥰🙃

A reel of me reading the first page of my historically inspired novel The King's Bridge is now up on my Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!!

I so enjoyed my reread of this one earlier this year 😭😍💜

I’ve been waiting for this one.

A reel of me reading the start of chapter 1 of my fantasy novel We Were Gods is now up!

A book that is, for me, so much more than a book. My favorite.

There’s a prologue to this one that I absolutely LOVE, but it’s longer than the clips I’ve been posting...

A reel of me reading my fantasy novel The Children of Maglan and the Children of Blane, the second book in my Firedark series, is now on my Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!

Don't worry! No book1 spoilers!

The Light Beyond the Sky

For my latest "first page read aloud" reel, I decided to do a throw back to one of my early favorites: my fantasy novel There Were Dragons.

It's up on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube! 😍🥰🐉

(I don’t have the right accent for this character, either, but the wording is such that I couldn’t avoid doing a hint of it 🙃)

Part 2 is now up!

A reel of me reading the first page of the first chapter of my fairy tale, The Waking of the Queen is now on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube!

I have such a delighted/sad reaction to incredible writing. On the one hand, it's just so wonderful to experience. On the other hand, there is this little ache that comes with the question, "How does a person write like that?"😭

My goodness; to be able to write like this woman could... ::sigh::

Saturdays probably aren't the best days to post new material, but a reel of me reading the opening of my fairy tale The Waking of the Queen is now up on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!!**

This is really such a lovely story, y'all!😭😍

**Much to my chagrin, I must confess that I have the wrong accent for reading this one :-p

A reel of me reading the first page of my fantasy novel Firedark is now up on my Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube!!🔥
