Welcome back to the blog!
Before everything else, I want to thank you for patiently waiting for my return. The past year has been very stressful and complicated for our family, with hospital trips and doctors' appointments taking up the majority of our time. I also want to thank you for the prayers and well-wishes you sent to our dad. I'm sure he appreciates them, even though he's no longer with us. We truly value your understanding and empathy for our circumstances.
We're beginning a new chapter in our writing journey, and we're starting it off with the long-awaited publication of our fantasy romance novellas.
You can now grab a copy of Gentle Green and Sienna (The Fairy Tomes of Cerulean Cove, Book 5) from your favorite ebook retail site. As promised, Gentle Green is free to download for everyone around the world. I corrected the few remaining typos and improved the flow of some paragraphs for a better reading experience.
Fate decided that their paths should cross.
The only things that matter to Sua, the hard-working innkeeper of Tamisna Inn, are the happiness and safety of her loved ones. She's content to manage the family business with her widowed mother, younger sister, and pet antula by her side. But being an innkeeper in the small town of Alola isn't always easy or safe. Danger lurks in the nearby woods, and she's the only one who can stop it.
One day, a mysterious traveler arrives at Alola and distracts her from this encroaching threat. The handsome charmer, Sa Gin, becomes the talk of the town overnight. He has an engaging personality, a purse full of money... and a weapon strapped to his back. Can Sua entrust her terrifying burden and her inexperienced heart to a man she barely knows?
A man who has his own secret to keep?
As for Sienna, I rewrote the last two chapters several times to make sure that you'll get the satisfying ending you're craving. Also, if you've joined the mailing list, you'll receive a 100% off coupon code that you can use at Smashwords. The code expires on April 15, 2024, so make sure to grab your copy before then.
Falling for their best fairy-tale friend.
Sienna is one of the most competent foragers that the Western Village of Cerulean Cove has ever seen. When she wants to make money or when her older sister needs herbs for their family-run medicine shop, the bubbly beauty is ready to venture into the woods.
But during one of her foraging trips, a rogue lycan pursues her to make her his mate. Treyton has just arrived in Cerulean Cove's forest when he rescues the beautiful, vivacious woman from his fellow lycan. In doing so, he secures the forager's friendship.
It's the mating season for his kind, though, and friendship alone might not be enough for them both.
If you're not able to get free copies of our latest books, you can still download other titles through our latest group giveaways. Prolific Works is launching a fantasy and romance ebook giveaway that will both end on April 15, 2024. Gentle Green, Marina, Yule Kingdom, and twenty other works are part of the Fresh Starts (romance and erotica) promo. On the other hand, the Swashbuckling Adventure (fantasy and paranormal) promo includes Daemon Bound, Sans War, and nineteen other stories.
Aside from Prolific Works, you can now find our ebooks on Google Play Books. Nine of our titles are currently listed on their store, with special prices for buyers from the Philippines. Hopefully, this will help promote reading interest, accessibility, and literacy in the country, as well as encourage Filipinos to source their reading materials from verified channels. I will add more of our short novels, novellas, and series overtime, so stay tuned.
Last but not least among our updates is the new fantasy romance project I'm writing for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest. Godhood was an old concept that I took out and revamped to fit one of the prompts for this year's competition. The gods and goddesses featured in the story resemble deities from Western Visayan mythology. Various flora and fauna from different parts of East and Southeast Asia also show up. Most importantly, the novella features two main characters who go from strangers to devoted lovers.
I'm releasing chapters of Godhood every Wednesday and Sunday on Wattpad. Once ONC 2024 ends, I'll self-publish the book so you can download it to your favorite device and read it even without an internet connection.
The life of a goddess isn't as easy as it seems.
On the morning of Palya's arranged marriage, a mark appears on her forehead, indicating that she has ascended into a deity. She learns that she has become a void-goddess with the ability to undo the other gods' blessings. Believing that she would betray them and lose control, her fellow gods declare that she must submit herself to an eternal slumber, which would restrain her power.
Unless, of course, she could learn to master her gift. The new void-goddess must bind her power to the soul of a mortal who will die if she uses it beyond what the situation demands. Palya thinks that nobody in their right mind would be willing to risk their lives for her freedom—until Iloyu, the man she was supposed to marry, volunteers for the task.
Can the timid but hopeful Palya and the brash but noble Iloyu navigate the perils of godhood and fall in love along the way?
These are our latest writing updates for now. For future news and occasional behind-the-scenes information, you can view our Facebook page posts and announcements. Once again, thank you very much for your support. I hope to talk to you again through our next (summer) blog post.
I'll leave you with another song recommendation that I stumbled upon last week. It's the opening theme of an old Disney featurette that Don Bluth directed in 1978. The Small One tells the story of an old donkey who has outlived his use for heavy labor and must now find a different purpose at a new place. It's a beautiful lullaby fitting for an equally charming story.
