Very recently I released my first full-length fantasy novel, The Goblin Market on Amazon and Smashwords for the Kindle, Nook, Sony eReader and a variety of other reader formats.

A brief synopsis:

Beyond the Goblin Market lies the remains of a lost and broken kingdom divided by war. The war has been over for centuries, but the kingdoms still stand apart, overrun by a creeping goblin darkness known as the Darknjan Wald. It has been written that only one holds the power to destroy that darkness and reunite the kingdoms, but she has no memory of her former life.

Meredith Drexler must save her sister, Christina, from the wicked goblin king, Kothar, who has kidnapped the girl in order to convince Meredith to uphold an ancient commitment Meredith doesn't remember making. Sent Upland disguised as a human child, she has no recollection of her former faerie life, or her uncle's promised marriage betrothal to Kothar.

When she ventures back Underground in search of Christina, every step Meredith takes brings memories of her forgotten past back to the surface. As the pressures of her former life entangle with her quest to save her kidnapped sister, Meredith's predetermined fate is revealed. Will she embrace it, or walk away forever from a life she barely remembers as her own?

I've been trying to spread the word to fantasy and faerie lovers everywhere, so I hope you don't mind me posting this here. Brian and Wendy Froud have been an inspiration to me as long as I can remember, and many of the characters in The Goblin Market were inspired by the tarot card set Brian Froud helped to design several years back.

Right now the novel is on sale for just $.99 US at Amazon and Smashwords and £0.70 in the U.K.

I am also looking for an artist who might be interested in working on cover art for the sequel--Jack in the Green, but that's for another post entirely.
