If you enjoy a smart-mouthed heroine, small-town antics, and fairy magic, you will love Bless Your Heart, the first book in Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen series by Kimbra Swain.You've never read the Fae like this! Download today!Interview with Kimbra SwainQ: Why did you write the Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen Series?A: I was born and raised in Alabama, and I loved the Urban Fantasy genre. I wanted to mix those two things, but remain true to the Southern traditions and values that I was raised on: family, community, and determination. The Trailer Park Series is my ode to the South.Q: What is the most important part of the Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen to you?A: Every single character in the series is real to me. The development of each one is so important for me going through the series. Some of them, including Grace, start off with many flaws. I should say especially Grace.Q: How much of Grace is patterned after yourself?A: Oh, gosh! Grace and I are a lot alike. Sassy and smart. However, Grace is very compassionate and trusting. She's also got a mouth on her. She says things that aren't PC, but as her character develops over the series, she sees that there were things she was very wrong about. Grace's story is about becoming who she was meant to be, and fate doesn't define that purpose. She does.Q: What are your future plans for the Trailerverse?A: The main series will have 15 books with a short story anthology focusing on the minor characters. I will be launching Wynonna's story this fall in Stories of Frost and Fire. The werewolf, Dominick Meyer, will also get his own series called Dog River Wolfpack. It will launch this fall, too. I have future undetermined plans to expand the Trailerverse. Follow my website and the Trailerverse site to keep up with the announcements!

    Rick Sardinha

    eBook (Crimson Cur Press, Nov. 17, 2013)
    Living may have been simpler in the medieval days but times were just as tough. One not only had to contend with bad food and worse sanitation but also with monsters that rampaged across the countryside. It is just such a monster that has destroyed the town of Ogenstadt's harvest crop. Worse yet, it seems to have absconded with the harvest tribute to the king. This has put the town's mayor and the king's collection man in rather a delicate position. The king expects his due and is not a forgiving sort. The pair come to the conclusion that they are going to have to lie to live. However, a sudden chance encounter with the monster reveals the truth of what is going on. They then realize that the lie is going to have to be a real whopper. That is if they care to continue breathing. The king, suspicious of their tale, decides that proof is needed. The monster is to be captured. He dispatches his two best knights to the task and the small group depart on their new quest. When the truth is revealed to the knights, the four monster hunters suddenly realize their collective heads are now in danger of separation from their necks. A plan is hatched which quickly grows into a conspiracy. It is this conspiracy which will pit their wits against the will of a greedy king and the appetite of an insatiable monster. Strangely enough, their actions could affect the fate of the entire kingdom. Even stranger still, is the unlikely ally that will come to their aid. Medieval madness and mayhem ensue! Will the conspirators succeed in keeping their heads? Will the monster be captured? What actually did happen to the king's tribute? Who is this unlikely ally? These questions and many more are answered in this new story of Porkus madness, The Pig Who Would Be King. The Pig Who Would Be King is a graphic tale and quite suitable for children of all ages.
