Sunday Will Never Blog The Same

Busy Sunday, so let's get this ball rolling! First, if you've been following our Character Blog Hop posts over the last two weeks, this week we hand off to Jessica Rydill, who introduces us to her character, Annat Vasilyevich! http://livinginthemaniototo.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/meet-my-character-annat.html Annat's first e-book, Children of the Shaman, is free through Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/Children-Shaman-Journey-through-Shamanworld-ebook/dp/B00IBPNKWG For more on Jessica, drop by http://livinginthemaniototo.blogspot.co.uk/

Hey, have YOU read the new Monkey Queen short story, "Best Christmas Ever!"? If not, scroll down to the next post! It's more fun than a sappy holiday romantic comedy movie marathon! No, really, it is.

Our thanks to the gang at SciFi Fantasy Freak for featuring the first Monkey Queen book, Of Introductions And Abductions, as a new release the past three days! To find out more about them and sign up for their mailing list, head over to http://scififantasyfreak.com/

And after some setbacks, the paperback edition of the new Monkey Queen book, The Brigadoon Boondoggle, is now available through Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/dp/1503193888

Son of Holiday Reminders

Yes, it may be Publication Day, but some things might be considered more important than that. After all, the media may be choosing to focus on the Black Friday frenzy, with their message of "Buy! Buy!" But we here at Monkey Queen Books remember the reason for the season:

It's Heeeeere!

We've done it! The second Monkey Queen book, The Brigadoon Boondoggle, can now be bought and downloaded worldwide! Wheeeee! Thank you all for your support, and don't forget to drop by our Facebook event later today! I'm looking forward to chatting with you and sharing a Christmas surprise!

Monkey Queen Book Two: Where To Order!

Though the second Monkey Queen book, The Brigadoon Boondoggle, is still not available to buy everywhere as this is being written, it will be as of mid-day U.S. time Friday, November 28! So as we did with the first book, here's a post with every single ordering link I can find bunched into one place! We'll add more links, including those for ordering the paperback edition, as they go live.

Reminders! Be reminded!

Don't forget that we'll be celebrating the release of the second Monkey Queen novel, The Brigadoon Boondoggle, with a Facebook event this Friday, November 28, publication day! 11:00 AM-1:00 PM Pacific Time, 2:00 PM-4:00 PM Eastern Time, 20:00-22:00 (8:00 PM-10:00 PM) CET. https://www.facebook.com/events/307787436094267/ It's open to the public, and there will be a Christmas surprise!

By the way, I do understand that some people will not be spending any money on that day to protest the over-commercialization of Christmas and, increasingly, Thanksgiving. I sympathize, believe me. But if you plan on joining this movement, I would like to remind you that you can always preorder now and read it on Black Friday instead of shopping...

Another Holiday Reminder

As Wil Wheaton pointed out on his Tumblr, when someone wishes you the greetings of the season, be it "Merry Christmas", "Happy Hanukkah", "Happy Holidays" or whatever, it's always polite to respond "And the same to you", or some variation. Honor the thought and sentiment and respond in kind.

And don't forget to do the same for this important holiday:
