Sara should be happy.
She has what every girl wants: a man who loves her, a beautiful home, and wealth beyond imagining. She rescued her brother from the Peacekeepers, destroyed the Iron Queen, and doesn’t have to go to her boring job any more.
And yet… Sara still doesn’t know if her father is alive or dead. Her mother hides in the garden, brooding about her missing husband. Her sister, the Inheritor of Metal, is scared of her own shadow, and her brother spends his days fighting and gambling. To add to Sara’s misery, the new queen (gold, of course) is more than a bit crazy, she misses her life in the Mundane world, and, worst of all, Micah wants to have children. A lot of them.
As Sara wavers between happiness and homesickness, a conspiracy emerges against the Raven clan, implicating them in a plot to dethrone the Gold Queen. How can Sara prove her family’s innocence, and become the consort Micah needs her to be, without losing herself in the process?
Guest Post:
Obsessed With Fantasy? Yep, That’s Me
Okay, maybe obsessed is too strong a word. I mean, I do have my feet firmly grounded in reality, what with my day job in finance, my mortgage payment, and all the associated responsibilities of being a wife, mother, and homeowner. Why, at the aforementioned day job, I arrive wearing pantsuits and sensible shoes, and report to meeting upon meeting with alacrity. I even submitted a proposal to make our 1-800 number’s phone tree more user friendly.
Is it any wonder I need a bit of fantasy in my life?
However, my wicked boring day job is exactly what led to my urban fantasy series, Copper Legacy. The first book, Copper Girl, came out in June 2013, and Copper Ravens, which I’m currently touring for, is hot off the presses.
Don’t believe that a position at a Fortune 100 company could lead to a badass fantasy series? Gather round, and I’ll tell you how it happened.
I was toiling away at the insurance company (not the awesome company I currently work for, but another that was, shall we say, less awesome), freezing my fricken’ butt off. Why was I so cold, you ask? Because they cranked the AC to Arctic. I mean, it was 86 degrees outside, and 50 inside. How is that even allowed?
Anyway, I escaped the frigid air during my lunch break, and napped in my car. I know, super exciting. But, as I sat in my car I looked at a tree that was impossibly two trees twined together, pines wrapped in a lover’s embrace. I wondered if the tree wasn’t a portal to the otherworld, so magnificent it was.
Those of you who’ve read Copper Girl know that that’s almost exactly how Sara’s adventure started, idly wondering if the mundane wasn’t something…more. What that more might be, I can’t really say. More in depth, more involved, maybe even more than just this world.
Ok, maybe I am a bit fantasy obsessed. Is that so bad?
