    The Dark King’s Curse – Blog Tour

    August 28, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Summary A darkness seems to hang over the lands of Conall, slowly but surely growing in strength with each passing year. This all comes to a head when the twelve daughters of King Muir begin to disappear each night. No one will admit where they go, and the only clue is their shoes; new in the evening, tattered and torn by morning. When no one can stop the disappearances, Ailsa –lady-in-waiting to the youngest princess– volunteers to try and solve the mystery; or else she and her peers will pay the consequences for failing to watch over their charges. Armed with nothing but her gift of Fae-sight, Ailsa ventures forth…

    August 21, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Wyn Estelle Owens is the penname of a young woman who’s still figuring out what this whole ‘adult’ thing is all about. She lives in a big, old house in Maryland by a Hundred Acre Wood (dubbed Neldoreth) with her parents, three occasionally obnoxious brothers, her dog Jackie, and her rabbit Joker. She is fond of reading, writing, drawing, speaking in dead or imaginary languages, playing video games, quoting classic or obscure literature, being randomly dramatic, and generally making things out of yarn. Her dream is to write stories that inspire people to chase after the wonderful world of storytelling. Her favorite all-time authors are Anne Elisabeth Stengl, Christa Kinde,…

But fantasy and fairy tales are her first and truest loves. She’s launching “The Floramancy Archives” – dark and epic fantasy reimaginings of classic tales, filled with…
