Big news, my friends! There will be a second edition published of ELENTARI, A Cosmic Fairytale!

WHY?

Glad you asked!

Because there is a key word change that is being edited currently.

A NAME of a major character has changed… so the manuscript of ELENTARI must be edited to map accurately with the forthcoming books that are being written now. These are:

ELEMENTS RISING: Book 2 of The Possibles

and

EVENT HORIZON: Book 1 of Black + Beyond.

Black + Beyond is a Joyful Romantasy Mystery Series for grown up readers that occurs in the same world as The Possibles but focuses on the stories of the adults, especially Neli’s biological parents, known to you as Sarah + Sebastion:

Two young lovers abruptly separated by interdimensional forces from other realms are reunited and inducted into a mysterious global network of magic investigators just as incidents of magic are sprouting at an unprecedented rate all around the world. But the first mystery they must solve is their own!

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MAGICAL REALISM AND FANTASY…

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ROMANCE AND MYSTERY…

A ROMANCE FOR THE AGES THAT AIDS IN UNLOCKING A NEW AGE ON EARTH!

OK, but wait? Why would you care about a second edition of ELENTARI at this time?

Such a wise inquiry!

Once I establish the second edition as the new one for sale, the first edition goes OUT OF PRINT.

And that is going to make hard copies of that first edition exceedingly rare in the world. Which will make them increasingly valuable in the future as these Seven Stars Stories go big and wide around the globe and ultimately to screen as well.

So buy one now while you still can. Or buy several. Store them away and then grad the 2nd edition for actual manhandling in the near future. I promise to share here.

How did this happen?

Also a fun question!

As I began writing Event Horizon, I was contending with a very thin but omnipresent thread of energy related to this character’s name (I’ll tell you who next time!). It wasn’t sitting quite right with me and if I’m honest, it never did, but no other names came forth as better in the ELENTARI writing.

So I took my own oft shared advice of not letting perfect be the enemy of really awesome anyway and proceeded with publication.

But I simply could not make headway with EVENT HORIZON! ARGH….

Then one day it just popped in out of the blue. THE CORRECT NAME.

And just like that the whole energy architecture of the book and all the series was clarified and strengthened.

Next time, I’ll deep dive on this character with whom I am so in love and I know you will be too!

Meanwhile, go grab ELENTARI, Edition 1 while you can!

Thanks for reading Big Stories in The Wild! This post is public so feel free to share it.
