And now, a 'glimpse' of Book 4!

 Pun very much intended…

Here is the cover to my next book. I was very excited to see this. And I was given permission to share, so here it is.

Glimpses of Destiny is the fourth installment of the Draca Wards Saga. And it’s coming soon, so catch up and read the first three novels. And if you have read them, go ahead and read them again.

My publisher, Silver Leaf Books, has reduced prices on most of its books. Here is the link to the page for Familiar Origins: http://www.silverleafbooks.com/Books_FamiliarOrigins.htm

You can read a sample chapter of Book 1 here: http://www.dracawards.com/Familiar%20Origins_BPine_Ch1.pdf

My illustrator is one of my biggest fans.  Here is the link to her blog. http://eimipinero.blogspot.com/
 
I will blog a little bit about the saga in my next few posts.

A book award and a bad review

Yay! This weekend I will be in Miami at the 2013 Readers’ Favorite Awards! Familiar Origins has won an Honorable Mention award in the Fantasy Fiction category, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be able to attend the ceremony and meet other authors.

This will be my third award. Familiar Origins also won two first place Royal Dragonfly Awards in 2012.

Yeah, I know. They are crooked.

It’s a great feeling to be recognized. Readers’ Favorite has gained a lot of popularity in the last few years, so I realize this Honorable Mention could very well be a big thing. The book has not received mainstream attention, but so many readers love the story, and that really makes the long nights worthwhile. I also realize that Familiar Origins is not for everyone. Here is one reviewer who did not like the story at all:

However, There is a positive side. The reviewer liked my next two books much more, so it is easier to swallow the criticism.

And so I am off to prepare for my trip.
