Mughain and the Amazons

And now the big news!

My novella, The Sea at Mughain, is now available on Amazon.  It is currently available for order in print, and will be available for Kindle soon.  Until now it has been, and continues to be, available from several fine retailers, but I am very excited to have the opportunity to reach a wider audience.

If you’re new to me and my blog, The Sea at Mughain is the story of a sixth-century Irish princess who must battle her family to gain the life she wants.  I would call it a historical fantasy romance, and some other stuff.  It's published under the name Jennifer Sparlin.

If you’d like to see it, here’s the link!


If you’ve read the book, and would consider tagging, “liking,” or reviewing it, that would be awesome!

Hint

It is now Sprote-kalemonath (Old English for February), and I will have some exciting news to share soon regarding the distribution of The Sea at Mughain.  Can’t say any more right now, except that soon it will be much easier to find.

My publisher for Mughain, Sam’s Dot Publishing, has a monthly newsletter of all their goings-on.  This month they were kind enough to mention my recent publication in Heroic Fantasy Quarterly:  http://samsdotpublishing.com/atthedot/february.htm

Hope the groundhog gave you good weather.

Hello

Welcome to my blog!  Here we’ll be discussing various things.  I’ll be letting you know when I have stories and poems published, but by itself that would be dull; so I’ll talk about other things as well.  Frogs, sometimes; sometimes not.

So, as you do your Christmas shopping and holiday decorating and parties and family celebrations, I wish you all peace and good will.
