“Delia is a princess tasked with choosing her husband, but when she and a kitchen boy end up together in a spaceship, sparks fly. Mix in ethical pirates, a six-armed man who is the last of his kind, giant sandworms, an abundance of intrigue, treachery, sword fights, and some of the best red herrings you could imagine and you have this delightful story. Lucy Brownhill’s pacing and intensity convey the action as the story progresses.”
“B. R. Myers has written a dashing version of Cinderella in which the princess doesn’t need to be saved, that the bad guys are sometimes the good guys, and love can flourish under the oddest of circumstances rife with absurdity and tragedy.” —CanLit for Little Canadians

ROGUE PRINCESS ART SHOW
It was an absolute dream to attend Susan Beebe’s Rogue Princess Art Show in Rockland, Maine—a highlight of my author life, for certain. Seeing her art in person was an honour and I found a myself wishing I could dive into the drawings to experience the scenes in real life!
Susan is a wonderful person and I’m so lucky she connected with my novel.
This project wouldn’t have been possible without the collaboration of the local library, and Jacob Fricke from hellohellobooks. Indie bookstores are an essential part of every town and their commitment to encourage and support the creative community is commendable. You can see a few videos from the event on my Youtube Channel. As well, I highly recommend seeing the entire collection on her website susanbeebestudio.com.
