"The Angel of the Bastille" To Be Published

I’ve spent the last few days recovering from the tornado that ripped by one-half mile from my house.  I am very grateful that my family and I are all okay.  The power went out and we lost all the food in the fridge, but that’s a very small price.

But I did get some good news yesterday.  My short story, “The Angel of the Bastille,” was accepted for publication in Timeless, a young adult e-anthology of historical and historical fantasy stories.  It’s being published by Pugalicious Press, a great new small publisher.  More details as they emerge!

I am also now on Goodreads under the name Jennifer Sparlin.  I’m still working the bugs out of my author profile, but please stop by!

Rekindled

Since my last post of a few hours ago, the problem with the Amazon page seems to have resolved itself, and everything looks normal.  So -- The Sea at Mughain is now available on Amazon, both in print and for Kindle!  Yay!  The Kindle edition is only $2.99!

Here’s the new and improved link:



Kindled

The Sea at Mughain is now available on Amazon, both in print and for Kindle!  Yay!

It’s kind of weird, though – they have it on two separate pages, so if you see the Kindle page, you won’t know it’s also in print, and vice versa.  I’ll see what I can do about that.  In the meantime, here’s the link to my Amazon author page, where you can access both editions.

Pear Problems

I can see ten fluffy white pear trees in bloom from the windows of my house.  There may be more, but I can’t see anything past the fluffy white pear trees.

I am horribly, horribly allergic to fluffy white pear trees.

Last night I sniffed and my left sinus oinked.

Anyway.  Now it’s tornadoey.

Updates

March has come in like an especially grumpy lion.  Nevertheless, a few updates for you.

It’s taking a bit longer for The Sea at Mughain to be available on Kindle, due to an emergency with my publisher.  It will be there soon, however, and it is on Amazon in print.  If you must have an e-copy immediately, it is available as an e-book on Smashwords for a number of formats, including Kindle and Nook.

I’m also hoping to have some good news about an entirely different publication to share with you in a few weeks.  =)

Until then, try to enjoy the budding flowers, keep the antihistamines handy, and watch out for the tornadoes.
