Thursday A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy Learn about Teagan’s New Book

~ John W. Howell

Twiggy and Lucy

“Hey, guys, come here.”

“Yes, boss. You might have to call Twiggy twice.”

“What’s up?

“You both know the writer Teagan R. Geneviene.”

“We have heard you talk about her books, Boss.”

“Yeah, when you aren’t talking about your own.”

“Good one Twiggy. Uh Twiggy?”

“Don’t mind her boss. She has the attention span of a gnat.”

“Well, we are helping to introduce Teagan’s latest book.”

“Gee Lucy. Maybe we can con Teagan into some treats.”

“Well, gang here is Teagan’s latest. It’s called Dead of Winter – Journey 1 Forelorn Peak.”

“I already like the sound of that. How about you, Lucy?

“I think the cover is terrific. What is the book about?”

“Well, here is a little about the book. I’ll read the blurb.”

Dead of Winter takes place in a fantasy world that resembles some countries in the past of our own world. In this monthly series, we travel through many lands, each with a distinct culture. The adventure begins in the Flowing Lands at Forlorn Peak.

The Brethren are fanatics who gradually took over the Flowing Lands. They say all beliefs, but theirs are heresy. Women are little more than property. Emlyn is only twelve, but to the Brethren, she is an abomination. Why? She can see ghosts and other things. That’s a secret she can admit only to her teacher, Osabide.

The stronger Emlyn’s ability gets, the harder it is for her to hide it. Now she has also gotten a supernatural warning that she knows is not about the weather, “Winter is coming!”

As the veil between the world of the living from the realm of the dead deteriorates, the danger accelerates. Journey with Emlyn as she explores her world in Dead of Winter.

“That sounds like a winner. I certainly would put that on my TBR if I had one.”

“You don’t have to worry about a TBR Little One. You can’t read anyway.”

“That is true for sure, Lucy. Where can those who do read find this book?”

“Here are the universal links Twiggy.”

“One last thing. Teagan will be releasing the series monthly, so everyone should keep an eye out for future issues.”

 

“I, for one, want to wish Teagan the best with her series.”

“Me too, Little One. Her stories are always so good.”

“How do you know? You can’t read.”

“The boss reads them to me.”

“Hey, wait a minute. I call it unfair. When’s my turn?”

“When you can stay up past eight o’clock.”

“Oh. Well, okay. Tell us a little about Teagan.”

“Here’s her bio and a short video.”

Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene lives in a “high desert” town in the Southwest of the USA.

Teagan had always devoured fantasy novels of every type. Then one day, there was no new book readily at hand for reading — so she decided to write one. And she hasn’t stopped writing since.

Her work is colored by her experiences from living in the southern states and the desert southwest. Teagan most often writes in the fantasy genre, but she also writes cozy mysteries. Whether it’s a 1920s mystery, a steampunk adventure, or urban fantasy, her stories have a strong element of whimsy.

Founder of the Three Things method of storytelling, her blog “Teagan’s Books” contains serial stories written according to “things” from viewers. http://www.teagansbooks.com

Major influences include Agatha Christie, Terry Brooks, David Eddings, Robert Jordan, and Charlaine Harris.

    2. I’m so happy you liked the first Journey, Priscilla. Yes, I gradually introduce the many characters. More from the Society of Deae Matres in Journey 2. Also more about the threats to our characters. Thanks for visiting here. Hugs on the wing!

      1. John, heartfelt thanks for having me over to visit with you and the girls. I’ll be back to chat with everyone after Crystal gets her breakfast. Meanwhile — Lucy and Twiggy, the limousine outside can take you for a ride. Then when you and your dad are ready to go to my place, there will be treats waiting in a cool 1956 Oldsmobile!

        I’ll be back soon. Hugs on the wing!

    1. I wouldn’t want to disagree with those two, Mark. 😉 Thank you again for hosting me at your place. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed the first Journey. Happily I’m back on track with edits for the February installment. Hugs on the wing!

  14. This is a great way to share Teagan’s new series, John. I think you’re going to have to read a little earlier, I don’t think Twiggy wants to miss out on story time. I enjoyed reading Journey 1, and I’m looking forward to the next release.

    Take care, John. One more day until Friday.

    1. LOL, I agree, Dan. Twiggy is a mighty protector. I think she’d quote Ghostbusters and say something like “I ain’t afraid of no ghost.” She might like to meet the goats in journey 2 as well. 😀 Thanks for reading and commenting. Hugs on the wing!

    1. Teri, Lucy and Twiggy could have their own Mad Men type of television show. 😀 Or maybe they could go retro TV and take Darrin Stephens advertising job from Bewitched. Cast John to replace Larry Tate, the boss. The dogs twitch their noses like Samantha…

    1. I’m tromping around a fictional fantasy world whose landscape (for the first few of journeys) resembles a pre-industrial UK. Thank heaven I wrote the manuscript ten years ago. But with a monthly serial, of course there are cliffhangers galore. 😉 Thanks for visiting. Hugs on the wing!

  24. What an adorable way to share Teagan’s new adventure in books, John. I loved this. And thanks for the new “Reinvented Life” video from Teagan, one I haven’t seen before. Great post. Best of luck to Teagan. I’m ready for the second Journey!

  25. Hi, John! I need to hire Lucy and Twiggy to do promotions for my book! I’m missing out! 😉 Ha, ha! What a creative and fun way to feature Teagan’s new serial stories. I enjoyed the video too. Congrats to Teagan! ❤

  26. How I love the way you (and the girls) introduce Teagan’s new story here. It’s in my Kindle – how I hope I can get to it sooner rather than later. Wonderful video too. Five stars for all the creativity from author and promoter(s). (After all, Lucy and Twiggy did most of the work.)

    2. Haha, thanks, Pam. I do hope you enjoy Journey 1 — that means a lot to me. The vast quantity of information and books available now is one (of several) reasons why I divided this epic novel into monthly novelettes. LOL, and I get to make that many more covers. Thanks for spending part of your day here. Hugs on the wing!

  28. What a fabulous introduction, John! Thanks for spreading the word. I love Teagan’s books and this one is a winner. Lovely to meet Twiggy and Lucy. Such characters! Take care!

    2. Hi Dale. Thanks so much for commenting. It’s a fantasy but not too heavy on magic. It’s certainly more of a story that has ghosts than a ghost story. Even though I call the monthly installments “Journeys” because the characters travel across the complex world I created, it’s also very much about the journey and the obstacles they overcome in reaching the conclusion (which will be approximately a year from now as far as the duration of the series). Have a beautiful weekend. Hugs on the wing!

      1. You’re welcome, Teagan! I love the fog! I have had an image in my head for nearly a decade involving fog. One day I hope I see it and make the image in my head.

        Hopefully, the fog gives you oodles of ideas for your writing.
        It’s really, really windy here today. We’ve got a small storm rolling through beginning today, and two more coming in behind it. I hope we get snow!

        Hugs xx 😀

    2. Thanks so much, Natalie. It’s been a long time since John and I worked on a real collaboration, but any sort of joint effort with him is a delight. (It makes me want to give Pip and Tiny another adventure. LOL) Have a lovely weekend. Hugs on the wing!
