Rizkaland #3

And now for that wonderful, exciting day when you get to find out the title for the third volume of the Rizkaland Legends.

Here you go -


Unicorn Sword,
Dragon Song.

There you go, your curiosities are sated. Carry on with your lives.

What are you still doing here?

You think I'm fooling you? That I honestly wouldn't give up such priceless information as a title this easily?

You're right. I wouldn't. That's ... the old title for the old book 3. It's now just "Dragon Song" which some of you voted for me to write for NaNo this year, but ultimately lost out against ROCKS. 

It was going to be a great book three, with lots of adventure, a sweet romance ... a glimpse into Amber's backstory, but nope. Morgan got whiney because Andrew and Clara weren't in it, and I had to move it out and make it a standalone, and create a book out of scratch that would have Clarand in it.

Actually, no, I didn't make it completely out of scratch. I repurposed an old plot idea from a retired book 5. Theme of the story - pain, pain, and more pain.

Have my inspiration pins:

As you can tell, this book will have a lot of feels and will probably make you cry. It almost makes me cry. (I'm not an emotional writer. Writing is my emotion.) I yell at Morgan frequently for making me write this book. Go add it on Goodreads.

Oh, wait, I still need to give you the title! (Even though you probably could read it on Goodreads.)

It's ...


Love
and
Memory.

You can expect it fall of 2018 at the earliest. I'm only in the first draft.

Have a snippet: Slight spoilers if you haven't read WPFP.

  “Why, sweetheart, what are you doing on the pantry floor?”
  Clara removed her head from her knees just long enough to look up at her mother. “I thought I heard Timothea crying,” she mumbled. “But I couldn’t find the nursery.”
  “Oh, sweetheart,” her mother breathed, and the next moment, she was on the pantry floor next to Clara, arms tight around Clara’s shoulders. “I wish I could say it gets easier…”
  “Night before last, I couldn’t find the door to Andrew’ room,” Clara admitted. “Ended up just crying in my closet.”
  “I do wish that the two of you didn’t have to be separated – and by so great a distance, at that!” Mom ran a hand through Clara’s hair. “I honestly don’t know what I would have done if your father … it was bad enough that we had to go back to being bitter rivals.”
  “And that didn’t even last very long,” Clara mumbled.
  “No. It didn’t.” Mom gave Clara’s shoulder a squeeze, and then stood up. “All right, darling, I’m afraid breakfast can’t cook with us sitting on the floor, and your dad is going to be hungry when he comes downstairs.”
  Clara managed something of a smile as she stood up. “Any way I can help without burning down the house?”
  “Maybe … no, eggshells.” Mom shook her head. “Why don’t you set the table?”
  “Sure, table,” said Clara. “I can do the table.”

Kindle
Paperback - Yes, it's out. And get it now while it's $14.99, because after the tour is over, it'll go up to $19.99 because it's a big book and I can't put it in the Expanded distribution otherwise.

Check out my stops on the tour:

Oh, and Water Princess, Fire Prince is currently free on kindle and will be so until Sunday. So grab your copy and tell your friends to grab theirs. And if you'd like to leave a review when you're done, I'd be much obliged.

I'm doing a giveaway, as per normal for a tour. Prize is an autographed copy of LDTD, a 2.5 oz bottle of Citrus Bliss Lotion - my favorite lotion that smells like citrus and vanilla - and a Serenity Bath Bar - which smells like lavender and vanilla and is awesome for relaxing before bed. Giveaway is US ONLY, however. Sorry about that, but ... shipping.

I'm also doing a comment giveaway. The person who leaves the most comments on the blog tour posts - including the interviews, reviews, and guest posts - and my back posts with the Lady Dragon Tela Du or Rizkaland Legend lables will get a sneak peak at either book three or Worth of a King. Possibly both. I'm generous. This giveaway is international, because there is no shipping. (Well, there may be shipping, on your end, once you get the book, but I don't have to pay for it.)

  1. I complain to you frequently about crushing my heart with this book, so I think we're even. ;) It's going to be a fantastic book, even if it is heartbreaking. I can't wait for it to be finished! That snippet. :,( It gets me every time.

  2. I'm curious about the Unicorn Sword part. Sounds intriguing.
    Love and Memory sounds both sweet and sad.

  3. With a title like that, it sounds like it will be a real tear-jerker!

  4. I'm getting more and more of a bad feeling about this book. The good kind of bad feeling. I've seen at least half of those pins before, but didn't know which book they belonged to.
    I'm still very glad you are writing it.

  5. This...this is going to be painful. How can I love the thought and yet hate it at the same time?

  6. . . . Just ignore me making sad whimpering noises with every pin I read. I'm totally excited for this book. Totally.
    Just I'm pretty sure it's going to crush my heart into a million little pieces and turn me into a weepy mess and I never cry over books. Never.
    I am mildly bothered by the fact that this title doesn't match the pattern of the other ones. Just a little.

    1. I might be initially bothered ever so slightly, but I'm withholding all reaction until after I read the book. I have the feeling that once I do, the title will fit perfectly.

    2. May I point out that the other three Legends that I have titled are "Alphego's Hill," "Through the Mountain," and "Ear of the People"? Once you have a few more titles "Love and Memory" won't feel out of place at all.

  7. I'm loving the sneak peeks and can't wait for the rest of the series when they are written! The later books are sure to be deliciously painful and beautiful... :D And I'm so excited for LDTD, which of course I'm ordering! ;) I'm very much looking forward to reading it!

  8. Oh, dear, I'm getting Da Feels already. :-( But I must admit, I've always wanted a story about how characters who'd been through a Narnia-type experience re-adjusted to their former lives.
