Fairytale's Truth is now available on Amazon! And on Saturday, you'll be able to find the ebook on Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, and other places! Here's the link for all of the locations you can find this book!  books2read.com/fairytalestruth Once the book was made available, I submitted the story to ACX to find a narrator for it. I figured it would take a few days to find someone who would want to narrate it. By the end of the day, there were 6 auditions! I listened to each one very carefully and visited their profiles before making my choice. The next day, a contract was made with Cassandra Arnold. It should be finished in April or May so be on the look-out for that! She has agreed to narrate the other books in the series as well! I am so excited about that. I'll be sharing a sample of her reading on YouTube so if you haven't followed me on there, be sure to do so, so you don't miss that! I shared the news with my daughter. Her boyfriend went online to check ...

One of my Beta Readers has begun sending me her comments about the story. Regardless of what the others say, she made some good comments recommending certain changes (or additions) to the story. So I've begun making those corrections and put Murder Through Time on hold. That was my plan, to begin with so it's all good. This book is scheduled to release by end of April or early May, haven't decided on an exact date yet. That will be coming soon though. I have two covers above. The one of the left is the most recent of my designs. Since there's a new MC in the story (this book only), I wanted the cover to be slightly different. I thought the lightning was a nice touch. John (the Great Dark Witch) uses lightning to cast fear in the people. Of course, it's not necessary with his demeanor. In this story, I needed to reveal just how strong John is in order to show how strong Emily is. I mean this man was able to destroy an elemental god. That's a strong power. If he c...

The final cover will be slightly different (just need to finalize the title font) In just 9 days, I've managed to write just a little over 18K so far. My goal is 60K, as always. If the story isn't finished at 60, I will keep going until it is. I just like having something to shoot for lol. This story has been flowing, some areas faster than others, but it's moving along quicker than I had anticipated, which is totally cool. The MC switched on me, which is fine. The original idea for the MC wasn't working, she was stubborn basically. But I think the choice for the MC now makes for a better story. I can get into it a little better, do not ask me why. I do not choose the characters, they choose me lol. With this story, I've been having way too much creating new things "from the future". Some of the words have changed, at least for the MC. For some reason he doesn't like using the word bad, he says major instead. And that's fine, we all have our own li...

First of all, the day is getting closer and my new favorite book will be unleashed into the world of readers. I am beyond excited and I can't wait to hear how others feel about this amazing story. Feb. 27, 2021. Check it out on Goodreads at  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55846898-fairytale-s-truth and mark your calendars! I already did lol. I finished editing Peterson Estate 6: The Great Dark Witch. It is in the hands of my Beta Readers now. I'm super excited about that too lol. Yeah, I'm just all the way around excited. So far this year has gone as planned and I'm even ahead of schedule. A couple days ago (Wednesday), I began writing Murder Through Time. I didn't want to just sit around as I waited for the Beta Readers so I may as well write lol. The story is coming along rather nicely. I worked on the cover too. When I was looking at the thumbnail of the book, I was having some trouble seeing the title and author's name. The font was too thin so I decid...

Follow me on IG @a.r.grosjeanauthor for some fun facts about Fairytale's Truth throughout February as we count down the days before Release Day! I haven't shouted this from the rooftops yet but I want to so badly. This is my favorite book! I can't wait to dive into the second book lol. I really don't want to miss their story lol. You'll be doing the same thing once you've finished reading this book. Maria and Nemoy are an unexpected friends-duo but they are perfect for each other in any way friends can be. The adventure, the quest, all of it had me turning the pages for so much more. And I'm the author lol. If the anticipation can do that for me, I know it can for you too. The book is written for 9-12 year-olds but that doesn't mean you can't read and enjoy it. The YA Fantasy Adventure book is scheduled for Feb 27, 2021 on Amazon, Smashwords, and will be available in other locations as well (the ebook anyway). If you won't be able to get it in th...

 I was pleasantly surprised today when a package came in the mail. It's actually funny because I was sitting on the porch having a cigarette and didn't even know the box was sitting right next to me. I knew it was coming today but wasn't sure about the time. My husband just happened to look down and he saw it. I already had these books (except for the last two that were released--Stolen and Peterson Estate 5: Hell Bound). They were the older versions with the older covers so I wanted to replace them with the covers they have now. I love the new covers even more now that I've held them in my hands! I feel so blessed that I've been given a gift of story-telling and having them as my personal collection means a lot to me. The next book to be ordered is Fairytale's Truth. I can't get that until the release day so I'll wait patiently like all of you. It can be done. I could order the author copy but those have a little strip across the cover and I don't w...

  I am on the last stretch of edits for Fairytale's Truth. At this time, I am checking for repetition. I have finished 18 chapters, and have 3 more to go. I originally planned to have these done by Saturday so I am ahead of schedule, again lol. That is fine because I want to go over it again and double-check my changes. I will also be working on the formatting this week, making sure the fonts that I want can be used. They were embedded but I have no idea if they will stick until I upload it to Amazon and Smashwords (if I decide to use the second site). Still not sure yet. I have one book on Smashwords so it shouldn't be an issue adding a second book to the site lol.  The cover is in its final stages of design. A few changes were made and it needs to be sized to work for the number of pages I have written. Once I have the new cover finalized, I can upload and check to format. Can't do one without the other which kind of sucks so I have to wait. Meanwhile, I will keep checkin...
