Happy Tuesday, everyone! So, today, I come to you with an announcement about the War and Pieces fan coloring contest. Ready? Let's get going!
First, let me give you the link where you can vote for your favorite shoe. This is a POPUP group, and will be taken down once voting is complete. You do NOT have to join to like or share your favorite shoe in each category. You only need to join if you'd like to vote in the polls. Ready?
Oh me, oh my! Happy Monday, everyone! It's been a craaaaaaaaazy couple of weeks going round and round with the doctors for my husband, but I did manage to get a few things done. Today, I'm letting you all know about a Goodreads giveaway for the War and Pieces ~ Frayed Fairy Tales Companion Coloring Book.
Here's a little about the book:
Amazon buy link: $7.99 paperback
Genre: Adult Coloring Book
Blurb:
Inside the pages of this fun, adult coloring book, you'll find all the
shoes from the covers of the Frayed Fairy Tales books, a name page for
each of the queens, a page where you can design your own awesome shoe,
and a cool F5 logo.
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there were zombies...
That's how it all started. Authors have created a major problem with stories like Cinder, The Dark Queen, and Asleep, and it's wreaking havoc here in Ever After. Our queens are fighting for their lives.
Rather
like Mother Nature, keeper of the fine balance that's life in your
world, tales that begin with "Once upon a time" were never meant to be
messed with.
Now, Ariel is underwater with all the defenses she's
been launching, Aurora hasn't slept in weeks, and Rapunzel is tangled
in... Well, I can't even begin to tell you.
Rather than try, I'll
let you see for yourself. You and I will talk again afterward--if I
survive long enough. So, as our fateful story begins:
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away...
~~~~~~
If you want to color Cinderella's shoe, we've made it available as a free download/printable.
An awesome group of authors, the Ferocious 5, have been busy creating something new and amazing for your reading pleasure! The time has come to reveal all the things. Strap in and prepare yourself for something awesome.
As you can see from the banner above, the title is:
War and Pieces - Frayed Fairy Tales
It's a serial series, and there are ten seasons, so there are several covers to see. Stay with it!

Happy Monday, everyone! I know I've been crazy absent, but November! Ya know? AND I've been working my fingers off on the new F5 project. These covers will be all about the art. They'll be sporting customized typography and hand-drawn images. It's all drawn, but it needs to be rendered and colored. I can't wait to share them with you.
Okay, in that vein, I'd like to do a roundup of YOUR favorite covers from this year. I'd love to see real artwork and/or unique fonts you've seen that you loved. This will be on a post sometime this week. Here's the link to the google form: https://goo.gl/forms/TumkpWFIsSMw2Xgh1
Drop in the link for the book on Amazon or Goodreads, the title, a note on why you loved it, and your FIRST name OR first initial and LAST name, like so: "I love this cover because..." ~ Susan OR "I love this cover because..." ~ S. Michaels.
Let's have some fun!
Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!
