So this week the bookmarks for THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING arrived.  I was originally only going to do three, but Stephanie and Meredith’s illustrations were so great I had to do six.  They are AWESOME.

Matte finish so they don’t get a million fingerprints, huge thanks to @erinjadelange for turning me onto Next Day Flyers for these!

Oh, and here’s the obligatory do you have THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING yet?  If not, buy HERE (for Kindle) and HERE (for Nook and iPad Compatible).  Also, I’m going to be running a contest next week, for a chance to win one of five deluxe packages (including the hardcover with full color illustrations by Stephanie Hans), but one of the ways to increase your odds to win, will be by answering questions from Part I of the book – so buy your digital copy now and get reading! You can read an excerpt here if you’re still on the fence.

Have you already read THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING and not yet reviewed it? What are you waiting for?!  People are saying awesome stuff like this:

“Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down.” – Megan S. (Amazon)

“If you like strong female leads and non-stop action, this is definitely for you.” – L. Cappelli (Amazon)

“The writing is electric, relying on colorful imagery and breakneck pacing that brings to mind comic panels fed into a HD film projector. It makes me drool at the notion of a possible graphic novel. Reinforcing that four-color feeling are the girls’ association with their powers in pop iconography while hinting, then directly pointing to a much deeper and more potent source. The whole thing comes off like if Neil Gaiman and Brian Michael Bendis had locked themselves in a cellar to determine what made superheroes great and what made a great superheroine and launched their results from a trebuchet at the internet.” – January Hooper (Amazon)

“Amazingly written and clever dialogue, coupled with mind-boggling and sentimental characters make this book a masterpiece in the literature world. If you are even hesitating to buy this book– you are doing yourself a dis-service. BUY THIS BOOK.” – Grant Hayward (Amazon)

Keep ’em coming guys…because reading things like Lola is “Ghengis Kahn in a catsuit” will NEVER stop me from smiling!  Thank you!!!

I think all of us that dabble in comics know how awesome the idea of “fan art” and “reinterpreting characters” is, so with that in mind I commissioned the fantastic Meredith McClaren to do portraits of Bonnie and Lola for me.  These are of course going to look different than Stephanie’s interpretations – and Ross’s – but that’s part of what I love about them.  You saw a Bonnie by Meredith a couple days ago, but here is her Lola, which I LOVE.  And I think it’s an awesome contrast to Stephanie’s “Lola and bike” – both beautiful, both different, both so much of what I love about Lola (and this book).

So huge thanks to Meredith! Oh, and when the store opens on TheGirlWhoWouldBeKing.com to sell all the extra swag from the Kickstarter, there will be both oversized promotional cards and bookmarks to buy of this version of Lola.  BE EXCITED!  😉

Last thing! Some of you are putting up amazing reviews on both Amazon and Goodreads.  Thank you SO MUCH.  And for those of you that have finished reading and not yet reviewed…what’s stopping you!? And if you haven’t even bought it yet…then REALLY what’s stopping you? Get it now! :)

Thanks everyone for the support – you’re all awesome.

After all this time, for those of you down with e-readers or down with reading on your computer, THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING is available to buy if you missed out on the Kickstarter!

You can buy it now on Amazon, and if you prefer to read on an iPad, Nook, or anything other than a Kindle, you can also buy now from Lulu and if you don’t have an account with Lulu, don’t worry, you can easily buy through paypal via Lulu.

And for those of you that have already read, or are reading and might finish soon – I would really appreciate honest reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, and Lulu. Reviews can really make a difference, especially for self-published work, as buyers are naturally more hesitant.

Anyway, thanks for everything guys, more information and images and cool shit coming your way soon, I’ll make sure to update here, but if you haven’t been to the website, there’s tons of great information and images there as well. Oh, and if you want to read a twenty page preview – go here to read online or download the pdf.

BUY! BUY! BUY!  :)

Also, just as a reminder to those of you who have been reading along and may have become invested…the last two chapters for “Part 1: Break Away” go up Thursday…so prepare yourselves!

It’s still early when I find myself standing outside his house, across the street, under the shade of a big tree.  He comes out eventually and starts walking, a messenger bag slung over his shoulder, not unlike my duffel bag and me.  The sight of him hits me like being doused with ice water.  He looks just like our father.  Tall and lanky with broad shoulders and dark, thick, almost unruly hair.  He has a strong handsome jaw line and skin much more olive than mine which is pale and pinkish.  I want to run up to him, embrace him, escape with him, and never have to talk about what has happened to us.  But I resist.  I’m not so confident he’s forgiven me for being the sole survivor of the accident.  I’ve long ago forgiven him for not coming to rescue me, but my sin seems much greater to me than his; it always has.

When I wake up in the abandoned building it’s late afternoon judging by the sun and I feel new, like I have been slumbering in a cocoon and am now emerging strong; like being reborn.  My clothes look the opposite of new however, stiff and caked in dark blood. I unzip my bag and pull out some of the few items of clothing I own and change into them, testing my muscles as I stretch, my mind swimming about what I should do next.

I’ve had doubts about finding Jasper ever since he didn’t come for me six years ago, and they’ve only been compounded since things have gone so horribly awry for me since leaving the home.  But when you hold onto something so tightly for twelve years it’s hard to let it go.  Maybe impossible.  He’s still all I want in this whole world.  If he doesn’t want me around, he’ll have to tell me himself.
