We’re seeing PINK!

We are delighted to bring you the third novel in our Jane Austen Collection – Sense and Sensibility! This absolutely stunning cover art was created by Julia JM and we hope you love it as much as we do! If you don’t already, go give her Instagram a follow! The cover design done by yours truly (Micheline Ryckman).

This edition is available for preorder exclusively from our shop! Our edition was designed to match the other two books in our Jane Austen collection with a gorgeous design on the hardcase beneath the dust jacket, along with interior illustrations and ornamentals. Both the jacket artwork and the design on the hardcase were created by Julia JM. The first 50 preorders will receive the stunning bookmark pictured below absolutely free!

Sense & Sensibility Blurb:

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor’s warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

Happy One Year Anniversary to ADOTT & Special Giveaway!

Published on by Hannah GreentreeLeave a comment

April 21st, 2023 will be the ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of McKenzie Catron’s, A Daughter of the Trolls!!! This book will forever hold a special place in my heart since it’s the very first story that I published through Whimsical that wasn’t my own. It was a dream for many years to reach the point in my business where I could afford to start supporting and publishing other authors, so ADOTT was a dream come true for me! In celebration of dreams, I AM SO EXCITED that we are able to offer this new exclusive jacketed one-year anniversary edition with a secret cover on the hardcase! This edition also comes with a preorder art gift, a bookmark, and a signed bookplate from the author.

Pre-orders are live now and the book will be released on April 21, 2023!

A note from McKenzie:

I can’t believe this April, it will have been a year since A Daughter of the Trolls has been out in the world and in all of your hands! It’s still crazy saying I’m a published author when I meet people out in the real world, and they ask me what I do for a living. I’m forever blessed Micheline/Whimsical Publishing decided to take a chance on my story and the world I created! It takes a lot of faith to believe in a story enough to invest time and money to see it come to fruition.

There’s been a lot going on behind the scenes for a few years now that I’m anxiously waiting for you all to see! The first was this beautiful special one-year anniversary edition of my firstborn book baby. Another is book two, coming out later this year! Next is the third book (publishing 2024) I’m currently working on. And others are the stories unrelated to the world of the Numina Parables that I hope you all get to read one day.

But I just want to thank you for sticking around and reading my work!

Don’t forget! Into the Churn is also available for pre-order in three formats: paperback, hardcover, and jacketed hardcover with exclusive design under the dust jacket. Pre-order incentives are going fast! There are only 3 sets left so hurry hurry! Pre-order here.

 

And remember! All orders of $10 or more before shipping (preorders excluded) will receive this postcard of Jude and Cardan from The Cruel Prince absolutely free!
