Hello June! Bluebeard, Mermaids, and Such

It's June 1st and are you weary of Bluebeard? I know I inundated us all with my many posts about what I learned while working on Bluebeard Tales From Around the World. With 822 pages, I could spend another month on the topic quite easily, but I will spare all of us! I still have a few more posts about Bluebeard I will share over the next month, but the daily Bluebeard posts are at an end. I hope you enjoyed exploring the tale with me.

I have been busy, busy, busy working on future projects, one which is near release and may surprise and hopefully delight some of you. The next SurLaLune release, coming out this month, will be Mermaid and Other Water Spirit Tales From Around the World. It is big and it is filled with mermaid and water spirit lore, quite obviously. I will discuss it more in a week or so, but be on the lookout for it if you are interested in Mermaids.

I haven't chosen a theme for June and think I might not. There will be some mermaids discussion to go along with the book release.

 

 Also, with the upcoming DVD releases of Beastly and Red Riding Hood, we will have some fairy tale film discussions. I have preordered since I failed to see either in the theatre.

And those are the tentative plans for the month.

Bargain Kindle Books, Some Fairy Tale Titles

  

I'm on my way back after taking a few days off for the holiday weekend. To start off, this is mostly off topic, but Amazon just created a Sunshine Deals list of bargain Kindle books ranging from $.99 to $2.99 with many interesting titles. There is a Georgette Heyer I already owned, The Grand Sophy, for $1.99. I haven't had a chance to look at all of the titles yet, but if I find any more fairy tale specific ones, I will share. There is every subject and genre represented but since this is SurLaLune, I will focus on the fantasy.

Here are some I found with a quick look:

The Fairy Tale Detectives : The Sisters Grimm, Book One (Bk. 1) is $2.99.

Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl, Book One) is $2.99

Dreaming Anastasia is $1.99 and that one does have some Baba Yaga in it.

Entice by Carrie Jones has pixies and Valhalla.

Philippa Fisher's Fairy Godsister is $1.99

The Tail of Emily Windsnap is $1.99 and is obviously about mermaids.

The Naming: The First Book of Pellinor (fantasy)
