My Epic Romantic Fantasy is on Sale!

I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a great one! It was a regular day in South Africa. I was teaching English and Amanda was writing an Economics Management Science exam. It's the end of her Grade 8 year and exam time. I decided to keep things simple by choosing American-themed food instead of traditional Thanksgiving fare. My husband pitched in and his help allowed for the day to go smoothly. We began with blueberry pancakes. For lunch, we had BLT sandwiches, and for dinner KFC. Overall, it was a good day.

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Everyone should read at least one feel-good book during the Christmas holidays, and since I decided to put my ebook on sale for a few days, I've made it super easy for you. The Novice by C.A. Morley (that's me!) is on sale until 29 Nov. '22 for only $0.99! If you enjoy Epic Romantic Fantasy, then don't miss this sale. My novel has lots of adventure, several near escapes, sweet romance, and witty banter. Be sure to spread the word or give it as a gift! The paperback version is already available on Amazon. I'm still working on publishing it wide like my ebook.

What people are saying:

A Superhero for Christmas

Marvel hero action collides with Hallmark Holiday goodness in this new superhero romantic comedy by Award-Winning author H.L Burke. Launches November 5th, 2022!

A Superhero for Christmas

When superhero, Glint's, aka Henry Nichols's, powers go on the fritz after a supervillain attack, he finds himself rethinking his priorities. Years of devotion to public service have left him with little for himself, and with forty swiftly approaching, he finds himself longing for his youth on his grandfather's farm. An incognito vacation is just what he needs.

Former reporter Lara Landis lost her career and her only long-term relationship all in one humiliating blow. Broke and rudderless, she retreats to her parents' small town grocery store to try and make one last career rally, but how is she going to get a big scoop living in the middle of nowhere? When a poorly disguised superhero lands in her neighborhood, insisting that he's just a normal guy, she can't help but smell a story.

As their chance encounters turn into a begrudging friendship, Lara is surprised to find a caring, sincere human beneath Henry's press-conference-ready exterior. When the truth comes out, though, her big story could turn into his worst nightmare.

What readers are saying about A Superhero For Christmas:

Hallmark and Marvel got together to have a baby, Superhero for Christmas. An adorable heart-warming cozy read for the reader looking for some superhero charm with their rom-com. ~ Ticia

Christmas, romance, and superheroes...this story lifted my heart up, up, and away! ~ Ernie

Laurence, Jr, author of the Islands of Loar series.

A cozy Christmas rom-com with superheroes… it doesn’t get better than this! ~ Brianna

This story has all of the feels with, thankfully, not a thing that was sappy. This is how I have always wished Hallmark holiday stories were written. ~ Veronica Lynn AKA Mrs. Spellsmith

Married to her high school crush, she spends her time writing, spoiling her cat, and supervising her two supervillains in training (aka her precocious daughters).

An Oregon native, she wilts without trees and doesn't mind the rain. She is a fan of delicious flavor, a follower of the Light, and a believer in happily ever after.

Teaching English

Not only have I been busy with self-publishing but I've also begun teaching again. I was asked to fill in for this term as they didn't have enough teachers. I'm teaching at the English Language School at Youth With A Mission. The students are missionaries who want to learn English so they can work in other countries. I have a Pre-Intermediate class of four adults.

The Giant Ferris Wheel and My New Blog with a Linky

I've been posting photos on the blog of things we did at the Prater in Vienna during the summer. One of the most popular things to do at the Prater is to visit the Giant Ferris Wheel. I've got a few photos here and I shared the others on my new blog. Things are changing on Amanda's Books and More. Be sure to read my big news below under the heading, "My New Blog."

***************************

My New Blog:

Big things are happening with my new website and my debut novel. The website is finished and this upcoming Friday I'll share a post with links for my debut novel, The Novice (Wayfinders Book 1) when the eBook goes live. In another week or so I'll have the paperback ready. Be sure to check out my latest blog post on my new website with another snippet from The Novice, "The Kingdom of Livania." Why the new website? I'm going to be reading and reviewing less now that I'm an epic fantasy author. This will not be my last blog post on Amanda's Books and More but it will be my last time hosting a blog hop.

St. Stephen's Cathedral, My New Blog, and a Linky

I hope you're enjoying your visit to Vienna through my camera lens! I still have a few more fun photos of our visit to the Prater, but today I'm focusing on St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom). The above pic was taken in the vivid setting on my Canon PowerShot. The photo below is how it actually looks. But many of us like a bit of fantasy and probably prefer the colorful image. Speaking of fantasy, it's because of the new blog that I'm featuring the cathedral. My latest post, "Making a Grand Entrance," on Wayfinders has pics of the inside of it. I also included a snippet of my debut novel when the king arrives at the Temple of Riaas.

The Liliput Train and My New Blog with a Linky

We visited my mom and stepdad in Vienna, during Amanda's school holiday. On one of our days, we went to the Prater and took a gentle train ride on the Liliput-Bahn through a portion of the large public park. There are lots of nice things to do at the Prater, like the Schweizerhaus Beer Garden and the Amusement Park. It was a lovely day and we were full of smiles.

Ten Years of Blogging and What's Ahead with Linky

 

Today's photos are from our holiday in Vienna, and our visit to the Prater. It's a large public park and a portion of it has rides. Amanda went on a ride with her dad and another one on her own. She was wearing a summer dress with shorts underneath. We also spotted a group of nuns going on one of the rides! Afterward, we ate at the Schweizerhaus, a well-known restaurant and beer garden at the Prater.

***************************

Ten Years of Blogging and What's Ahead:

I began this blog when Amanda was four years old. One of my first posts was titled, Blessed to Have You in Our Life. I often shared about books we were reading. My blogging style changed over time, and Amanda grew up. She no longer does book reviews with me, but she still loves books. I wrote about Our Love of Books in 2017. The other day we were at the mall and she wanted to buy books. It was so sweet to see her purchase Nancy Drew stories. I remember reading Nancy Drew when I was a girl.

Right now I'm working on a website with my husband's help. The website is for my new journey as an author. I will do my blogging from there. Hopefully, next week it will be up and I can share it with you!
