Coming soon: Lena’s Privilege by Kristen Stieffel, Silence by Laura L. Zimmerman, and Quell the Nightingale by Michele Israel Harper. Which new book are you most excited about?
Dear Hades
Dating apps are hard, especially in the world of Greek monsters and demigods.
Rising from the Underworld into the twenty-first century may have seemed like a second chance for Medusa, but love is elusive when heroes would rather slay a monster than date her.
Disliked for his dire prophecies, blind prophet Tiresias would rather make a new life for himself than join heroes on another monster-hunting venture. Perhaps meet someone . . .
The two match on DearHades, a dating app for resurrected monsters, shades, and demigods curated by Hades and Persephone, whose fate hangs in the balance of the app’s success. No pressure.
Caught amongst meddling gods, murderous heroes, and a classic Greek bet, Medusa and Tiresias may have signed up for more than a dating profile.

Up next: Cover reveal and release date for Lena’s Privilege: The Prophet’s Chronicle, Book Two by Kristen Stieffel, then Silence: Book Three of the Banshee Song Series by Laura L. Zimmerman, then Quell the Nightingale: Book Three of the Beast Hunters by Michele Israel Harper. We can’t wait to bring you more books by the authors we love!
We are thrilled to bring you another glorious hardback featuring Laura Hollingsworth’s cover art.
Although this edition includes the story Beast Hunter already released by L2L2 Publishing, it also includes six brand-new stories set in the Beast Hunters storyworld.
About the book:
Two children lost in the woods.
Red shoes that won’t stop dancing.
An innkeeper harried by the ghosts of her past.
Fey-made clothing that only the worthy may see.
A man with a beard as blue as his temper is hot.
The legend of the great white wolf.
And the hunt of a lifetime.
Beast Hunter and Other Fairy Tales turns beloved stories inside out, shatters expectations, and offers new adventures, delightful twists, and unexpected endings that will keep you coming back for more.
There is also an exclusive hardcover for Silence the Siren: Book Two in the Beast Hunters available now, and there will soon be one for Kill the Beast. We are also planning a special edition for Quell the Nightingale, once we have a release date for book three.
This high-seas adventure is a Little Mermaid fractured fairy tale influenced by Hans Christian Andersen, and although it is the second book in the Beast Hunters series, it can be read as a standalone.
Finalist in the 2022 Christian Indie Awards
This special-edition hardback features art and cover by Laura Hollingsworth.
We are pleased to announce that The Lost Slipper paperbacks are now available at your preferred book retailers.
(If you want the ebook, that is still available exclusively for author Michele Israel Harper’s newsletter subscribers. Visit her website for more details.)
Happy reading!

The Lost Slipper
Cosette dreams of her life becoming the perfect fairy tale—until her wishes come true. Can her fairy godmère take it back?
Paperback available now.
Ebook exclusive for author Michele Israel Harper's newsletter subscribers.
Every day is the same for Cosette. Get up, clean, make breakfast, and meet her stepmère’s and stepsisters’ every demand.
That is, until an encounter with a fairy of the forest—or is she a witch?—and an invitation to a fête in honor of Monsieur Gautier promises Cosette’s life is about to become the beautiful fairy tale of her dreams.
Or so the story should go.
Except her fairy godmère demands a high price for her help, one Cosette isn’t willing to pay. Her stepsisters are as afraid of their mère as Cosette is. Can she truly leave them to their fate? And the handsome Monsieur Gautier hides a dreadful secret, one she’s desperate to know—if only she can get close enough.
Cosette is faced with a choice: Should she feign ignorance and accept her happily ever after? Or dig deeper to find what may be lurking beneath?

Second, our bloggers!
This release’s blog tour was short and sweet, and we absolutely loved seeing the posts you put together.
If you want to catch up on any of them, here is the blog tour schedule:
Monday, August 16th, “Be Our Guest Post: Michele Israel Harper” Cathrine Bonham, cobonham.com
Tuesday, August 17th, “Random Interview with Author Michele Israel Harper” H.L. Burke, hlburkeauthor.com/blog
Huntress Ro LeFèvre is offered a job to hunt a pest plaguing the Seven Seas. A siren has been sinking the king of Angleterre’s ships, and in turn, vast amounts of his wealth.
Fleeing heartbreak, Ro gladly accepts, but there’s just one problem. The king will credit the Marquis de la Valère, and no other women are allowed on the voyage.
Ro will just see about that.
Hiring an all-female crew without the king’s knowledge, Ro hopes they will follow her to the Caribbean, not take the gold and flee.
But when Ro is plunged deep into the ocean by the siren she’s being paid to kill, presented the sirens’ side of the story at knife point, and pressed to join them or die, Ro must decide whether to complete her mission, join the sirens, or something in between.
Before the sirens sink the ship full of men above.
This fast-paced, high-action adventure is a Little Mermaid reimagining and the second book in the Beast Hunter series.
“Ro is back, and I am here for it. Battered from her previous adventures, she launches headfirst into a new one full of excitement, betrayal, and numerous twists. I absolutely loved the tie-ins from various fairytales and Harper’s unique spins on classic stories. If you want a story full of blooming romance, friendship, and sacrificial love, you’ll want to dive head-first into this book.”
– Hope Bolinger, author of the Blaze trilogy and the Dear Hero duology
“Silence the Siren is a fresh take on a classic fairy tale that I did not see coming! Michele Israel Harper weaves a wildly creative tale that will have your heart beating fast with excitement one moment and then breaking the next. Ro is the heroine we’ve all been waiting for. You’ll be rooting for her as she takes on man and sea in this odyssey-esque adventure. Can’t wait to see what Harper does with the rest of the series!”
– Julie Hall, USA Today Bestselling author of the multiple award-winning Life After series
“Michele Israel Harper continues her unique spin on fairy tales well-loved. While the Huntress dives into waters unknown, there is enough familiar and new to keep readers invested in this intricate and expanding world that feels almost as real as our own history.”
– Derrick Elchers, author of The Battle for Art
“Silence the Siren takes readers on a high seas adventure that sets personalities from all over the fairytale spectrum on a crash course with peril and betrayal. Michele Israel Harper offers a delightful cast of characters who struggle with complex emotions, tight dilemmas, the very real frustrations of their own limitations. The story’s deft weaving of resonant retelling and original twists will keep readers enthralled to the last page.”
– Rebecca P. Minor, fantasy author, artist, and Realm Makers founder
“Silence the Siren does not fall into the fairy tale trap of simple good and evil, but features a protagonist who insists there are two sides to a story—and then is frustrated when neither is as honorable and noble as pretended. Perseverance and honesty are as important as strength and ferocity (although we get those, too!). And it’s all in a fascinating world where multiple fairy tales mingle and tangle.”
– Laura VanArendonk Baugh, award-winning author of The Songweaver’s Vow and the Shard of Elan series
“Michele Harper creates a marvelous world in Silence the Siren, where French fairy tales are spun into something new, their golden story-threads woven into lavish, compelling tapestries. From pirates to princesses to sirens, things are never quite what they seem. Enemies become friends and vice versa, magic turns up in the most unexpected places, and the promise of true love hovers on the horizon.”
– Merrie Destefano, award-winning author of Shade: The Complete Trilogy

Up next: Cover reveal for our next release, Azriel by Lee James.
We are so excited about this next release from L2L2 Publishing!
Burn by J.M. Hackman is the third and final book in the Firebrand Chronicles, and although we are sad to see the series end, it is such a good ending. We cannot wait to hear what you think of it!
To celebrate Burn’s release, we’ll be kicking off with a blog tour tomorrow through the end of next week, celebrating its release all day on the 26th, and finishing off with an online release party on Thursday the 28th.
We are pleased to bring you the soft release of Ghostly Vendetta, the prequel novella to Zombie Takeover.
A little about the book itself:
“Dare to spend the night in mysterious Rutherford Hall! When? The 175th anniversary of the Rutherford family’s unsolved murder. Ghosts guaranteed. Cash prize: $5,000. Want more deets? Ask Tyler, Stewart, or James.”
I laughed aloud as I read the flyer. Yeah, right. To think that I, Candace Marshall, world’s biggest scaredy-cat, would go anywhere near some haunted house, much less spend the night in one. I crumpled the stupid thing, pitched it in the nearest trash can, and went on my merry, oblivious, and soon-to-be-scared-out-of-my-mind way.
* * *
Candace Marshall doesn’t do ghosts. Or zombies. Or vampires. Or mummies.
Anything scary, really.
When she finds herself signed up for a dare she’s gone out of her way to avoid, things spiral out of control. Quickly.
Stuck in a mansion alongside a vengeful spirit, a miffed boyfriend, and a room full of people she doesn’t know or even like (if she’s being completely honest here), she must decide whether to act brave or let the coward within show.
Or kill the person who got her involved in the first place.
Join Michele Israel Harper and Laura A. Grace to celebrate this new release at the online release party this evening from 8-10 p.m. EST.
Also, our cover artist, Sara Helwe Digital Arts, created the next cover in the series for a special cover reveal during the party tonight. Hope to see you there!
