First off, don't forget that there are two sales on Monkey Queen ebooks going on right now! A Tiding Of Magpies, the newest book, is just 99 cents US, to celebrate 7/7 and Tanabata, through this Wednesday, July 8! And Of Introductions And Abductions, Michiko and Beth's first adventure, is 99 cents US through July 15! They're available exclusively at Amazon, on sale at Amazon stores worldwide, and free to read with Kindle Unlimited! More after the cut.

Congratulations to Monkey Queen cover artist Willow! She raised over 3000€ with her crowdfunding campaign for her BD/comic The Journey Of Earth! The planned publication date is October; like her on Facebook or follow her on DeviantArt (and if you're not, you should) for updates! (And if you listen real close, you may, just may, hear rumors of an English translation down the road...)

But even bigger congratulations to my awesome pal Shei Darksbane and her wife Anna. After years of struggle, and even with a last-second fight from the religious right after the Supreme Court decision, the Darksbanes finally made their marriage official this past Friday! Love Wins! Now if they can just get their books finished. Hint hint.

And I am so hoping to be at a theater near me once this opens...

"Anyone could see why the gods wanted today to be the day that Jiao and Yun got engaged," Beth said. "It's the seventh day of the seventh month, the day the author and the archer were reunited. It's Valentine's Day here. It's Tanabata. It's Qixi. And this—" She swept her arm out. "It's the Bridge of Magpies. The bridge of birds. Built on love and hope. And that's why I wanted to bring you to this place on this day."

“One for sorrow, two for joy.” 

When Jiao, a princess from Faerie's Far Lands, comes to the Wonderland Diner and Tavern looking for help, it's showtime for the teen hero called the Monkey Queen! Michiko and her best friend and partner in adventure, college student and geek girl Beth McGill, have to rescue the princess' boyfriend from the minions of a scheming warlord, and then race against time and fend off goblins, ogres and monsters to reach the Bridge of Magpies by the seventh day of the seventh month to fulfill a prophecy. 

But Michiko has been hiding something from everyone, even Beth, and no secret is forever. And when that secret is revealed... 

Everything will change for Michiko and Beth.

Read Chapter One here and Chapter Two here, and to kick off Tanabata, read "The Author, The Archer, And The King Of Magpies" here!
