This week brought another “first”. My series of five books was combined into one e-unit… a boxed set. It’s a neat idea. As one book is finished you turn the digital page and start the next part of the story. How cool is that?! A further surprise was the boxed set actually hit the top 100 list in one of the sci-fi /fantasy categories. That was completely unexpected as the boxed set is a bit more than a single ebook even though it’s priced so a buyer saves 30% by purchasing all 5 books together vs. individually. *smiles in delight*
So here is a big THANK YOU to every reader who has ever picked up my books, read them, reviewed and told others. YOU ROCK!! Whether I know you or not we are now connected through the stories and are reading FRIENDS.
So I want to share with you the lovely blurb that my friend and publisher wrote about the series which you can read while you hear in your head Joe Cocker sing “With a little help from my friends.”
Please note the final paragraph. My gift to you!
*hugs*

As the years pass, Erin is born. She is the child of two established sages. But when they are murdered, Erin manages to escape and must disguise herself as a boy to avoid being taken by the men who are after her. She later discovers that they’re not only after her, but all of the sages as they deem them “witches” of the planet.

Can the sages manage to fix the problem and restore balance and order to their planet?
