I’m sorry I haven’t been around much lately, but Pearl and I have been very busy in Storyland, collecting ideas for the second book of Annabelle’s new Bad Boy Wizard series. She plans to release the first and second volumes together when they’re both finished.
In the meantime, you can get Annabelle’s current books at a discounted price of $1.50 each from Smashwords as part of their Read an Ebook Week promotion. Just click Gateway to Magic or The Slapstyx and enter the code RAE50 at the checkout.
Here are some nice things people have said about Annabelle’s books:
“Gateway to Magic by Annabelle Franklin was a cute, quick read with some valuable lessons within. I shared this book with my little ones, who absolutely loved it. From their point of view it was ‘awesome’. The author did a wonderful job of painting the scenes, making things very easy to visualise, most especially the Forest of Pointy Fingers! I love it when authors bring a story to life by word-painting, and Franklin doesn’t disappoint! Franklin’s Gateway to Magic is perfectly tailored to its target audience, as my brood can well attest. They all loved it, and we’ll be reading it again for sure!” – J. Aislynn d’Merrickson for Readers’ Favorite
“A wonderful second book by a children’s author adept at creating worlds that children and adults alike cannot resist stepping into. My grandchildren were as enthralled by The Slapstyx as they were by Annabelle Franklin’s first book Gateway to Magic. Bedtime was a magical and shared experience, as ‘one more page’ became several more pages. Everyone loves a good fight between good and evil and this is one of the best. A sublime story that will find a spot on the shelves of every child (no matter what age) who loves really good books.” – Karen Watkins, Amazon reader
