What's in a Name Series

What's in a name? Names have power. Magic . . . Some names spell a great destiny. Once upon a time, twenty author friends accepted the challenge of a fairy tale name generator. Soon, twenty new characters were off on wild adventures. In this clean YA anthology, meet a goddess, a countess, and a wannabe sorceress. Join a wolf pack leader and a guardian frog sidekick. Search for victims with a hunter-turned-detective, and swoon over the sultana who must prove she's fit to rule. Cavort with demons, wraiths, and demigods. Lose your way in the Mist, then lose your soul to the Bone Marsh. Root for a genie's freedom. Hope for a witch to get her spell right. And yes, feel your heart flutter at unexpected romance. All proceeds are donated to Book Aid International in support of reading and literacy.

Double the name and double the magic, mystery, and mayhem Once upon a time, a fairy tale name generator issued a challenge to a group of authors. Volume Two of these quirky stories brings double trouble. In this clean YA anthology, spy on thieves discovering their princely identities, accompany villains seeking redemption along with accident-prone geese, and rejoice in the reunion of siblings separated at birth. Side with twins split between good and evil, giggle over mistaken identities, and discover the secrets of royal doppelgängers. When fates are intertwined by a namesake, mayhem and mischief are sure to follow. Venture into this collection of adventurous stories by award-winning and up-and-coming authors and see if what happens once . . . happens twice! Pssst…some characters from Once Upon A Name might make a comeback, but the two sets and all stories in them can be read as standalones.   O TIME, UNTANGLE THIS by Susan Stradiotto and Sky Sommers SIREN SONG by Meadoe Hora THE LIES OF LADY ROSEBERRY by Alice Ivinya POISON QUEEN by R.
