Commissioned Magic Published!

Posted:

I’m so excited. This long novella is finally out. I’ve been wanting to share it ever since I finished it.

Publishing can take a bit of time. But it is done now, and I’ll let the book talk for itself.

Commissioned Magic's cover and tag line

Here is the description:

Mydala, a painting magician with a tarnished reputation and little income, once lived a life of prestige in Riala City. But a failed spell changed all that.

So, when a rich nobleman seeks out Mydala to commission a spell painting, but refuses to tell Mydala what magic the spell will cast, she reluctantly agrees.

But when more signs of danger build around her, Mydala must question not only the nobleman’s motives, but also her own past—or she might lose more than just her reputation.

A powerful epic fantasy about magic’s power to shape destinies.

You can buy it here as an ebook. Currently this is the only edition, but I hope a paperback edition will be out sometime next year. I’ll let you know when I know.

A lot have changed in my life recently, and rest assured that I have started working on the rest of the Japan edition of Picture of the Month, and I will finish off that blog series.

Although perhaps not until 2021, because I have some other exciting developments, well, mostly behind the scenes stuff that will be really good when they are done.

Lastly let me mention a bundle that came out this summer with my story Angel’s Demise in it. It is appropriately called Angels and Demons and was edited by A. L. Butcher. It is a mix of novels and shorter works (like mine). Read more about it here.

I hope you are all well and taking care of yourself and your loved ones. The holidays are coming up, so don’t expect to hear from me again until next year.

New Options for Reading My Stories AND a New One

Posted:

I have a lot to tell you all about today, so I won’t be including all the descriptions because that would make it loooong. But I’ll be linking to the book pages on here so you can get the full info, easy peasy.

Cover image for Angels Demise by Felicia FredlundLet’s start with the new:

Angel’s Demise, a dark urban fantasy short story is now available as ebook that you can buy here.

Tamari Shadow-Wing, guardian angel, watches over and guides Nick Corn. His life took a turn for the worse and he leaned into it.

She tries desperately to convince him to stop his downward spiral, but he isn’t listening.

Can she make him listen or will he become another lost soul?

And from here, I’ll go to Magic and Sacrifice which is finally available as a stand alone short story instead of only in the anthologies Fiction River: Last Stand that I co-edited with Dean Wesley Smith (to find out more about his fiction, go here instead) and Fiction River Presents: Writers Without Borders.

Cover image for Magic and Sacrifice by Felicia FredlundI especially recommend Fiction River: Last Stand—it is full of great short stories—but I’m also glad my short story is out by itself for anyone just interested in that story. On that note, here is the description for it:

Two countries at war. Only a magical barrier between them keeps the fighting to one day a year.

Maora and her husband fights on that one day, fighting for the country that creates the barrier every year.

Bloodied and hurt, they barely keep the tide at bay.

Will they fail and doom their country? Is there a way to end the war?

But there is more! Two new bundles came out this spring and I haven’t had a chance to mention them here on the blog.

Cover image for Cat Tales Issue #3 bundleCat Tales Issue #3 included my short story When She Gained Her Soul. As you can probably guess, all stories in this bundle have cats in them. My story happen to be science fiction, but the other stories cover other genres.

So if you are a huge fan of cats (and haven’t picked up my story yet), you can find more info and a buy link here.

Last but not least is the other bundle called Eclectica. It has stories covering a lot of different genres. My story in it is Dear Brother. A mainstream short story about grief.

The best part of this bundle was all the promotion done around it and you can find me showing up in interviews at several places, plus at a virtual potluck put together by Jackie Keswick.

Barbara G. Tarn interviewed me for her author blog. You might recognize her name since she edited the anthology Nightly Bites which I was in.

Cover for Eclectica bundleThen read the interview Sherry D. Ramsey did with me, she had really good questions.

Lastly, the curator of this bundle A. L. Butcher interviewed me for their site Library of Erana.

Full details about Eclectica along with a buy link can be found here.

Before I bid adieu, I’d like to once again thank everyone who voted in the poll about what you enjoy reading on my blog. It really does help me shape what I do here.

I hope you have a lot of nice weather for the rest of your summer (or winter)!
