Feature and giveaway: A Royal Masquerade

My original post:


So I have another friend who writes books, though we’ve known each other from before she started publishing.  She’s a witty young lady with a wry sense of humor, and does that humor ever come out in her fairytale retellings and their unexpected twists.  I never liked the fairy tales themselves much in the past, but I did start getting into reading some retellings a few years ago.  The first book in this series, “The Reluctant Godfather,” had me in stitches with the humor and the fun.  I really enjoyed that the “magic” was written as a natural talent instead of a supernatural sort of thing—which is hard to explain in a few words, but aligns much better with my beliefs than your average sort of magic.

Here is the book blurb for “A Royal Masquerade”:

Burndee can barely tolerate the mischievous Prince Colin, but the two of them are invariably thrown together in a way that keeps them at one another’s throats.

While attending a noblewoman’s wedding, Burndee and Colin’s private feud comes to a climax when Burndee loses his temper and does the unthinkable. With Prince Colin unable to attend to his royal duties and Burndee bound by an inconvenient spell, can the two of them work together long enough to unsnarl the mysterious goings-on around them?

A madcap and magical novella of The Goose Girl from a unique perspective.
 

And here’s the fancy cover:



There is also a giveaway...or, rather, two giveaways!  Because there is a first and a second prize.
