Midsummer's Eve Giveaway Hop

Tuesday, June 19, 2012


Welcome to another awesome giveaway hop hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Uniquely Moi Books.

It's probably because of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, but when I think of Midsummer's Eve, I just can't help but think of fairies. Of course many different countries have a variety of ways to celebrate it, many of them with bonfires, and I don't really know if fey have much to do with any of these celebrations or not.

Since fairies are on my mind, however, I figured what better thing to giveaway than Danielle's Fairy Necklace? This piece is described in Forever (Book 3 in The Fateful Trilogy). It was given to Danielle by the fairies and somewhat like the fairies in Shakespeare's tale, the sneaky little sprites play tricks on Danielle and Ethan as well.



This necklace is handmade from antique brass findings and chain from VintaJ. The aqua crystals are real Swarovski faceted beads. The center drop is a pale aqua, 8mm, Amazonite bead. The beautiful antique brass bead in the back is so pretty you can wear it backwards for two different looks. This Victorian design is unique and will be a piece that people will ask where you got it from. The matching aqua crystal earrings are included in the set. On my website, I charge $39.99 for this set. (Note: The three-way connector in the center will be slightly different, seems I can't purchase that one any longer, but the replacement is equally as nice, if not better! If I have time, I'll take some more photos for you.)

YA Indie Carnival ~ Happy Father's Day!!!

Friday, June 15, 2012

 (If you're here for the Indie Author Giveaway, just scroll down to the post before this one. But don't miss the free ebook on your way down!!! ;)



Our theme at the carnival is Father's Day, and I have a treat for you! A FREE ebook that should appeal to fathers, or dudes who like epic fantasy with action, dragons, elves, and Baba Yaga--all with a nice twist of humor! If you don't have a Kindle, download it anyway. I mean, why not? IT'S FREE!!!! And Amazon has free apps so you can read it on just about anything.


Description:
Blood has coated the land in slippery sheets from the moment Tolucan took the throne. Lies, rumors, and sorcery destroyed the treaties which had been in place for two-thousand years. Friendships were forgotten, alliances were betrayed, and an entire race was plunged into the terrifying realms of annihilation.

Now only three of their kind remain. They do not know they are the last and they are kept in hiding. What is to become of them? It is rumored they will overcome the king and restore the peaceful days of old. Will they? Can they? We can only hope. Tolucan’s power is spreading across the continent while it is reported that dragons have been sighted along the mountainous skyline to the north. It seems the time is drawing near sooner than I had expected...
