My Prequel has a Prequel

Sounds like a line from a Dr. Seuss book, doesn't it?

But it is true. I have a prequel short story for Witch Fall that will come out next month. It's entitled Witch Rising. I'm in the process of searching for a new cover artist for it, as Laura Sava isn't taking freelance work right now (sad face!). 

The cover is going to be simple, featuring the pendant in all its golden glory. 

Honestly, it doesn't matter whether you read Witch Song or Witch Fall first. They sort of circle into each other. But you should definitely read Witch Rising before Witch Fall. 

Confused on the order yet?

*sigh*

I'm trying to keep it simple, but I'm not sure what to post in the subtitle.

A Prequel to Witch Fall 

Something else entirely . . . 

I need a Dr. Pepper.

{Guest Post} Christy Dorrity author of Awakened

About the Book

. . . because some Celtic stories won’t be contained in myth.

A little magic has always run in sixteen-year-old McKayla McCleery's family—at least that’s what she’s been told. McKayla’s eccentric Aunt Avril travels the world as a psychic for the FBI, and her mother can make amazing delicacies out of the most basic of ingredients. But McKayla doesn't think for a second that the magic is real—it’s just good storytelling. Besides, McKayla doesn’t need magic. She recently moved to beautiful Star Valley, Wyoming, and already she has a best friend, a solo in her upcoming ballet recital—and the gorgeous guy in her physics class keeps looking her way.

When an unexpected fascination with Irish dance leads McKayla to seek instruction from the mute, crippled janitor at her high school, she learns that her family is not the only one with unexplained abilities. 

After Aunt Avril comes to Star Valley in pursuit of a supernatural killer, people begin disappearing, and the lives of those McKayla holds most dear are threatened.

When the janitor reveals that an ancient curse, known as a geis, has awakened deadly powers that defy explanation, McKayla is forced to come to terms with what is real and what is fantasy.

A thrilling debut novel based in Celtic mythology, Awakening is a gripping young adult fantasy rife with magic, romance, and mystery.  











Praise for Awakening



"AWAKENING is a wonder and a delight. Christy Dorrity is a talent to watch."

~David Farland, New York Times bestselling author of Nightingale


"I thoroughly enjoyed AWAKENING, a captivating and unique debut novel that creatively integrates Irish dance."

~ CHRIS NAISH, Riverdance member and Creative Director of Fusion Fighters Irish dancers. 



About the Author

Christy Dorrity lives in the mountains with her husband, five children, and a cocker spaniel. She grew up on a trout ranch in Star Valley, Wyoming, and is the author of The Geis series for young adults, and The Book Blogger’s Cookbooks. Christy is a champion Irish dancer and when she’s not reading or writing, she’s probably trying out a new recipe in the kitchen.

I am a part of the BLUE TEAM--but there is also a red team and gold team for a chance to win a total of 60 books!

SCAVENGER HUNT PUZZLE

Whew. Now we're done with the rules, let me introduce you to Kim Baccellia Rapier! Here's a little more about her: 

Kim's other works include Crossed Out, a YA paranormal, published by Lachesis Publishing, and a YA multicultural fantasy, Earrings of Ixtumea, which will be re-released in March 2012 by Muse It Up publishing.

She lives in Southern California with her husband and son.

For this hunt, Kim is featuring her newest book, NO MORE GODESSES. Here's a little more about it:

Getting a date shouldn’t be this hard. Jordan Lake discovers an ancient bracelet in her grandmother's house and uncovers a family mystery that links her favorite actress, Audrey Hepburn, a romantic movie, and an aunt she never knew. Jordan hopes the bracelet will bring her love. Instead, it brings one nightmare after another, unleashing Hathor, the Egyptian love goddess, who decides it's fun to mess with the McKnight High School social scene. Jordan holds the key to vanquish Hathor, but will she figure out what it is in time to save her school, one of her best friends, and get a date to the Valentine’s Day dance?

Sounds like a fantastic book! Find out more about Kim here or purchase her book here!
