Hey everybody! This week’s Wednesday blog is about sharing one of our works in progress. Which is awesome, because I have one I really want to share with you! Except I have this whole cover reveal shizz set up for the first week of May…
So, while I can’t reveal the cover or the blurb, I can definitely tell you what it’s about! The book is called A Choice Fit for a Queen, and it’s in the If Ever I Would Leave You anthology. Which, by the by, is an Arthurian mythology themed collection of New Adult… I don’t know. Novels or novellas, depending on how you classify 50 – 60k stories. I’m not a bookseller and everyone classifies that shit differently. Anyway, the antho is written by me and my #MerlinClub friends, Jessica Jarman and Bronwyn Green. I’m the odd duck out, because I’m the only person who’s not contributing something paranormal to the mix.
Okay, the story is about Madison Lane:
an English literature major taking a summer course studying Arthurian mythology in Wales. Her instructor is a totally gorgeous failed novelist who intended to write the next The Once and Future King, but ended up writing the Arthurian equivalent of 50 Shades of Grey, minus the financial success. He’s hot, in that whole down-on-his-luck, doesn’t-give-a-fuck, nothing-to-lose way. Also, in this way:
But Madison also meets good-boy hottie Rhys, a friend and former student of Mr. Professor there, and a stand-up guy.
And he’s like, such a nice guy that while he’s pretty into Madison, he worries about betraying his friend or potentially hurting Madison. Ultimately, Madison has to make the titular choice, and believe me, she sees the parallels between what she’s studying and what she’s living.
So, there you have it. A sneak peek at one of my current works in progress. If you’re a blogger interested in being a part of the cover reveal, here’s the sign-up!

Oh, how to chose between those two!? 😀
I can’t wait to read it.
Look…it seems really mean to choose between those two – can’t she just have them both?
I can’t wait to read it!!! 😀
Ooo, sounds good! I’ve also read some of Bronwyn’s work, so I know her contribution will also be excellent. Jessica obviously has some good Arthurian interest going on as well given her contributions to #MerlinClub. 🙂
Ok, so let me get this straight…I’ve got zero men and she has to choose…life is so unfair 😀 Sounds intriguing… get writing you three.
Is there a newsletter or some other way you announce when one of your books is coming out? I’m waiting for a book that says it’s coming spring ’15.
Oh, well. . . Another book to add to my list. This sounds fun. Can’t wait for you ladies to get it finished so I can read! Thank you for sharing. I am loving this Wednesday thing!
Totally not my thing, but it sounds fun and I haven’t read anything by the other contributors. Maybe Arthurian fiction is my thing and I just don’t know it.
If it helps my dad was at an event (I wanna say wake? It was a private party anyway) with Simon Baker once in his home town and apparently he is just one of the nicest, stand up guys you will ever meet. Dude even got behind the bar to serve drinks and every lady in the room subsequently got extremely drunk. So if any of that element is in there I’m going for hot failed novelist.
Like the sound of this, especially that totally gorgeous failed novelist! Can’t wait for the cover reveal.
I can’t wait to read it! And I’m with Bron, can’t she just have them both. I mean really they’re hot and yeah, they’re hot. 🙂
