So, if you missed it on Friday, we finally had the cover reveal for THE ORCHID THRONE!
This is the first book in a new trilogy I’m doing with St. Martin’s Press. Totally new world, totally new series. My editor there, Jennie Conway, called it:
the magical feminist fantasy romance I’ve always wanted ?

Warrior of the World
//Cover Reveal! For Crown and Kingdom
//
A couple of years ago, in the fall of 2013, I read a book called MASTER OF CROWS – because Ericka at Bookpushers nagged me into it. I loved that book every bit as much as she promised I would. Because it’s my thing, I began stalking following the author, Grace Draven.
I must have been fairly subtle in my efforts, because we didn’t become actual Facebook friends until the following October. (Facebook: The Ultimate Metric for Everything About Our Social Lives.) We became virtual friends, then met in real life at the RT Convention in Dallas the following spring. Let me tell you folks – we had an epic, nearly three-hour “coffee” meeting. You know when you meet someone and just immediately click? We had that. Toward the very end (I think once she decided I wasn’t a psycho stalker), Grace asked if I’d be interested in doing a duology with her. My answer?
Fast forward to a year later and we did it! FOR CROWN AND KINGDOM comes out May 31! 
It contains my story, THE CROWN OF THE QUEEN, which takes place in the aftermath of THE TALON OF THE HAWK and ends right where THE PAGES OF THE MIND begins, which is also out May 31. 
Grace’s story is a stand-alone called THE UNDYING KING.
Grace designed this fabulous cover for the duology and we released it last night to the interwebz with great joy.
We exchanged the following messages:
See why we like to work together?
At any rate, I’m so twirly about this joint project. I’m headed out of town for the latter half of May and don’t expect to be online at all, so Grace will be handling the last-minute stuff on this. But I’ll be back for release day!
Moar dancing! Moar warbly singing!
