It's my birthday month!

To celebrate, I'll be doing a giveaway for some physical books for my newsletter subscribers. Sign up now: lbcarter.com.

I'm also excited to be releasing Shadow Keeper, Branwyn Blood book 2 in paperback and hardcover with some BEAUTIFUL character and scene art!

I'm thankful for you as Thanksgiving approaches in the U.S.--and for progress on my TBR. Only a handful of weeks left to crush those 2024 Goodreads goals!

How do you like to celebrate your birthday?

RECAP: new physical release

Branwyn Blood 2 released last month in ebook!

Now, I'm excited to have the amazing artwork in for the paperback and special hardcover editions. Here's a little sneaky peek at some of the art I commissioned. Gorgeous, right?

I'm thankful to the talent of:

Kalynne_art for Rhiannon
Damian in the Den for the White Dragon and Coblyn
ArtJake for the dragon-fight scene
Jessica Allain at Enchanted Covers for the text and vineyard art.

You can get your copy of Shadow Keeper now. Read the full synopsis: books2read.com/branwyn2.

AND subscribe to my newsletter for a chance at a proof copy! Subscribers also get to download the prequel of this series for free. No need to read that first though. You can just start with book 1.

Check out a few teasers!

UP NEXT: birthday party & NaNoWriMo Plans

Watch for my newsletter to see how you can join my birthday party--aka have a chance at a gift or two! Goodies for many who "attend."

This month is National Novel Writing Month. I usually use this month to crank out 50,000 words (equivalent to an entire novel).

LeAnn Mason and I are using this time to revamp some of our works in progress, so stay tuned for more news on that in our Facebook group: the Carter Mason Madhouse.

I'm also working on Branwyn book 3.
