99¢ "First in a series" sale: The Crisanta Knight Series: Protagonist Bound, by Geanna Culbertson!

"I was going to be a great protagonist. At least that’s what my mom, Cinderella, kept telling me. I, however, had my doubts.

Unlike most main characters at Lady Agnue’s School for Princesses & Other Female Protagonists, I was opinionated, bold, and headstrong. Moreover, for a princess, I had a lot of issues. I’m talking vicious nightmares about people I’ve never met, a total stalker prince, and a Fairy Godmother for an enemy.

But I digress. Because here’s the thing about living in an enchanted realm of fairytale characters, crazy junk you never planned on happens all the time. One minute you could be practicing fainting exercises in Damsels in Distress class, sword fighting in a field, or flying on a Pegasus, and the next, BAM! Your book has begun and you’re saddled with a prophecy that changes everything.

I still don’t know if I will be a great protagonist one day. But I do know one thing about my fate, for certain. Despite what The Author and the antagonists have in store for me, whatever it costs . . . I’ll be the one taking charge of my own story."

Join the kids and siblings of fairytale characters in the magical world of “Book,” where citizens train to be the next generation of main characters in stories. In this nine-book series, Cinderella’s daughter and friends challenge their realm’s “Author” and powerful villains across epic ...

Few residents in the small, secluded mountain town of Winston, Colorado, have kind words to say about Sean Coleman. He’s a bully, a drunk, and a crime-show–addicted, armchair detective with an overactive imagination.

After a night of poor judgment, Sean finds himself the sole witness to the unusual su***de of a mysterious stranger. With the body whisked away in the chilling rapids of a raging river, no one believes Sean’s account. Tormented over the doubts and mockery of the people of Winston, Sean embarks on a far-reaching crusade that takes him across the country in search of the dead man’s identity and personal vindication.
