I've had the pleasure of getting to know Anne Wheeler over the past several years and can honestly recommend her books. She's such a fantastic writer, as evidenced by the fact that the first novella in this series won a Realm Makers award this year! Read on to find out more about Anne and her new release, Queen's Crown.
Queen's Crown
A foreign crown bent on conquest.
An escaped traitor out for vengeance.
A realm caught in the middle.
Sometimes it takes a queen to save a kingdom.
Laurent has left to meet the Vassian Army at the border, leaving Riette in charge of Lochfeld Castle and
indeed Meirdre itself. Waiting on war to come to the kingdom she loves is unthinkable, so she escapes to her
home village for a visit, searching for one last bit of normalcy in a life that is no longer her own.
But that normalcy is shattered when Thomas arrives. Bitter over his imprisonment and bent on the revenge he’s
always wanted, he’s intent on destroying Laurent and has no qualms about using Riette to do so. Worse, her power
as a crownkeeper is no longer a secret, and King Damir of Vassian wants it for himself. From Lochfeld itself to
a coastal town, defeat looms. For their adversary is well-prepared and powerful—a formidable enemy to her small
kingdom.
But the map on the floor of Lochfeld’s ballroom holds power of its own—and Riette will discover what it
truly means to be a crownkeeper.
Queen's crown is now available here.

Writing Update
Since launching Discernment, I've taken a break to recharge my batteries and spend some time with my family. Putting a novel out into the world is hard work, so it's been nice to focus on other things for a while.
But now I'm back to work and planning my next story, which for me means a large pin board, a roll of lining paper, and a new notebook to fill with ideas. I love this stage of the writing process. So many possibilities, new characters to get to know, and things that can happen.
It's all very hush hush at the moment, but I can tell you that the next two books run alongside each other, and that Velay has finally finagled her own story out of me. It's been in the back of my mind for a couple of years, and I'm finally in a place where I can do it justice. I can't wait to tell you more. Keep an eye on my social media for more updates.
Until then, have fun reading!
