Published on by Hannah GreentreeLeave a comment

Today is a VERY special day!

It’s our very own McKenzie’s birthday!!

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that Whimsical has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years. But it wasn’t that long ago that we signed our very first author who changed Whimsical from a self-published author to a traditional publishing company.

We are immensely proud of all she has achieved and are so excited for the future stories she has to tell.

To celebrate her birthday, we’re putting her books and all artwork inspired by them on sale, but only for today! So don’t miss the opportunity to snag copies of A Daughter of the Trolls or A Goblin of the Glade along with some awesome postcards, bookmarks, and art prints at 20% off.

Sale ends January 20th, 2025 at 11:59 pm PST

Celebrating Release Day with an Official Goblin Trailer!!!

HAPPY RELEASE DAY to McKenzie Catron’s

🏔️❄️🌲A Goblin of the Glade🌲❄️🏔️

To celebrate, we’ve created an official trailer for the book! We hope you enjoy!

FULL BLURB:

Ten years have passed, but neither Primrose nor her sisters, Poppy and Posy, can shake the belladonna-soaked trauma of their childhood. Though the triplets have grown and are no longer captive, the memory of Black Annis’s iron talons and needle teeth still linger.

While Posy finds reprieve in studying with the Elder Mother and Poppy drowns her mental wounds in song and service, Primrose copes by traveling wherever the wind takes her. Much like her beloved half-brother Rush used to, she finds solace in seeking new havens. However, news of Sparrow’s dying mother draws Primrose home again, and she resolves to stay in the glade to spend one last Christmastide with the only woman she’s ever called mother.

That is until a shadowy Pooka appears with a message tangled in Fate’s red thread: a prophecy from the fabled Numina that threatens to upend the family all over again.

With only the suspicious, dark Pooka as their guide, the triplets must follow the Numina’s destined trail to a perilous mountain haunted by trickster spirits. But when their dubious quest delivers them into the claws of the infamous witch Baba Yaga, the goblin sisters are forced to face their childhood nightmares or let the world, and those they love, be forever consumed by darkness.

A Goblin of the Glade, the second book in McKenzie Catron’s “A Numina Parable” series, returns to all the beloved characters of the first book, and then some. Embark on a journey filled with sisterly love and unique companionship in this new high-stakes fantasy adventure reminiscent of Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales and European folklore.
