Another Giveaway?!! December 5th Another Giveaway Begins!

Loveable and heroic this the Irish Pixie Gnome left behind the first, actual account of the magic and merriment inside the Faeries Ring!  Found in the hollow of the Six-Shaped tree, it was simply signed, N. T.   - The Faerie Ring Dance

Tradition is what the holiday season is for, isn't it?  And, just as it is tradition at Fae-tality Publishing to give free ebooks about vampires at trick-or-treat time, it is tradition to give The Faerie Ring Dance free Kindle ebook in December when babysitters traditionally read to children past their bedtimes, when parents attend holiday parties.  When Wendy first followed Peter Pan out the window, this author leads kids through the faeries ring just outside the town known as Old Soul's Hollow.

What kind of magic goes on inside the faeries ring?  Its best to find out wrapped in warm blankets while reading The Faerie Ring Dance.  It is too cold outside, to go hunting down rings of grass that grow more green, or forest floors where toadstools grow in a circle beneath trees like the Magical Yew or the Six-Shaped Tree.

Buy the book bundled with this illustration, mounted on wood canvas - a gift for readers who love this gnomes - especially this Irish-Pixie Gnome!!

Free downloads begin December 5th through December 9th.  

Download the Ebook 
from the author's Amazon page and find some Book Faeries to make or Mushroom Ornaments in her Yuletide Ornament series with The Faerie Project at Youtube.com.

Have You Heard? A Halloween Giveaway Is Underway!

Beginning today - October 20th - three fun-filled and action-packed vampire mystery ebooks will be given away to readers and subscribers in waves of 5 day increments until November 3rd when the giveaway wraps up and the reading frenzy begins.

First Book in the Halloween Giveaway - free download October 20th to 24th!

(see the side bar for free Kindle app for your phone or laptop).  Then check back for the other two books in the trilogy to read FREE.  Everyone's a winner with this season of frightful fun reading and the vampires in this trilogy.

All apologies!!  Amazon does not allow reviews on freely downloaded ebooks.  The author did not think it was right to charge readers of children's books for the downloads or to enter the drawing. Aware that readers of awesome kid lit are already often easily led down dark, forested paths, following in the footsteps of a wolf - to carry cookies to grandma - she didn't think it right to charge.

Hopefully, you downloaded the books and had Halloween reading fun during the trick-or-treat season.

Why Fae-taility Publishing Is An Independent Publisher

Fae-tality Publishing is an independent publishing, um, label.  Like music labels often have independent producers who pitch their music, songs, and lyrics to Sony - or they conduct their own business without the bigger production houses - the same can be done with publishing.  Random House, William Morris, Penguin - these are major publishers.  Once an author signs with a major publisher, all independent publisher duties belong to the contractual agreement as determined by an author-signed contract.

Isn't Independent Publishing Just Self-Publishing - With the Vanity of Using Another Name?

Not really.  It requires an agreement, purchasing a number, and then, yes, registering a publisher name.  It also requires a minimum number of new titles a year, having a maintaining a website, listing with book buyers lists and registering with Bowker - where all the worlds books can be catalogued for purchase.  Very much like an indie music label so these publishers began being called Independent Publishers.  The range of what those words mean can be anywhere from a sole proprietor producing a minimum of 2 new titles per year, to an Independent Publisher with a widely known name contracting with many authors per year and still not becoming a standard, traditional publisher, although in partnership with their author list and can even incorporate to become a corporation.

Which one is Fae-tality Publishing?
A sole-proprietor producing (and scrambling to publish) a minimum two titles per year.  What does this offer the author?  A lot of hard work.  Writing, editing, blogging, vlogging (oh my!), and publishing.


What does this offer readers of Fae-tality Publishing books, then?
Free e-books!  Every October - the month vampires just love to carouse in their traditional garb at least one day a year - Fae-tality Publishing offers FREE ebooks - the DeAngeliuson vampire trilogy - each will be free for 1 week this coming October.  And don't forget the annual FREE ebook: The Faerie Ring Dance - every December.  Its a great way to entertain the younger than middle grade reader or have family fun in the busy, and short, month of December.  Free ebook offers will be posted, here, on the blog and on Facebook.

The libraries in Portland, Oregon will be holding discussions about Independent Publishing, writing, and becoming an author this Fall, 2015.  If you live in the area, check out this link - Library Writers Project - for information about upcoming seminars.

The Vampire DeAngeliuson Trilogy

AhAhhhhuhuh.

Watch Evil Owl go Dracula on potential predators - a Halloween-y natural defense.

Anthology! At Last!!

Anthology is the trilogy book trailer with a sneak peek at all novels in the series.  In sort of a comic themed video based on the trilogy author's sarcasm, readers get a sense of the content including the not-yet-released third novel which is due out this month. The art is all done by the author, and is as back-to-school as book reports and lunch money.  Don't forget to check the Book Shop for this fun, vampire mystery-adventure series!

What's to come at Fae-tality Publishing?  Willow, a cyber-punk dystopian novel that was started at Camp NaNoWriMo.  The trailer and cover art will be released in November, with the novel due out in December, 2014.  Also, dressable Jessica, Raven, and Theopolis are as avatars in their virtual world - Vampire DeAngeliuson at GuildPortal.  They'll dress for school, parties at Ickabod's, the Underworld Castle, college, and dorm room.  The guild's subdomain is Jessica,

What can be done to quell the quill pen killer? You'll have to read to find out!
