"The story has action and adventure, death and murder, but there is also romance and tragedy. The characters' are very lifelike and the heroine is full of wit and sarcasm, which I like. There are several twists and turns that surprised me in places, and one huge scene near the end that completely had me in tears. I ended up cursing the author's name and crying 'I hate you!' at the emotions she managed to pull out of me. It has amazed me at how quickly these characters have burrowed under my skin." - Goodreads, Lynn Worton

Description:

Cover designed by Najla Qamber Designs
Release Date September 14th, 2015

A journey through time.
A scarlet letter.
A soul crushing betrayal.

The thrilling Legends Saga concludes in a mash-up of literary all-stars. The works of Washington Irving, Edgar Allen Poe, HG Wells, and Nathaniel Hawthorne come to life in an intricately weaved backstory of love, lies, and deception. The driving force of all involved? Passion. But when that passion is cloaked in darkness, madness reigns.

MB's INTERVIEW

1. From „The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” (1820) to „The Legend Saga” – Why such subject and what does your series bring to the Ichabod Crane fame?
Since I was a little girl I have been fascinated by Sleepy Hollow and all things Horseman! This project is an act of love that sheds a new light not just on Sleepy Hollow but also other legendary literary works from such authors as; Edgar Allen Poe, HG Wells, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. 

2. The cover of Steam is in the same tones with the first two, but still it seems to be a bit more... mundane... in a steampunk way... Tell us about the correlation between the covers and the stories and how difficult it is to find „the cover”. 
This particular book twists the works of HG Wells and Nathaniel Hawthorne into an intricate back story. I need a cover that has hints of Steampunk for Wells, as well as intrigue for Hawthorne. Thanks to my brilliant cover designer, Najla Qamber Designs, she made that come together beautifully! 

3. And, please, tell us about the verses that we’ll find in the stories. Kind of in the E.A. Poe style, what is their role? 
The main characters are cursed by some of literatures greatest hits! What it means to have the curse of Poe? Well, it’s dark and twisted … and you’ll have to read the series to find out! 

4. You said about yourself that you write to get the crazy out just enough so you can function. How crazy are your stories and why did you write them in a YA note?
 I really enjoy tales of the dark and twisted. While I didn’t target YA with The Legends Saga as I did with The Gryphon Series, the “fade to black” sexy moments to give parents the peace of mind that they don’t have to worry about their teens reading this series for THAT reason. However, there is violent content. But with the Headless Horseman involved that’s pretty much mandatory. 

5. What do you think about today’s YA Paranormal /Paranormal horror literature and what do you want to achieve with “The Legend Saga” and in particular with “Steam”? 
I really love reading YA! That’s my automatic “go to” section in the book store because there aren’t the rules there are with adult fiction. In YA anything goes and I LOVE that!

Description:

Fairytales aren’t real…yeah…that’s exactly what Bianca thought. She was wrong. 

For generations, the Frost family has run the Museum of Magical and Rare Artifacts, handing down guardianship from mother to daughter, always keeping their secrets to “family only.” 

Gathered within museum’s walls is a collection dedicated to the Grimm fairy tales and to the rare items the family has acquired: Cinderella’s glass slipper, Snow White’s poisoned apple, the evil queen’s magic mirror, Sleeping Beauty’s enchanted spinning wheel…

Seventeen-year-old Bianca Frost wants none of it, dreaming instead of a career in art or photography or…well, anything except working in the family’s museum. She knows the items in the glass display cases are fakes because, of course, magic doesn’t really exist.
She’s about to find out how wrong she is.

When Cinderella’s glass slipper is stolen, Queen Felicia sends her faithful steward Terrance to the real world to retrieve his love and witch-in-training, Bianca Frost. The power of the glass slipper, when paired with its mate, and in the wrong hands, could ruin the peace of Everafter. Bianca must gather every bit of magic she has learned in the past few weeks to find the slipper and protect her new love. Together, Bianca, Ming, Prince Ferdinand, and Terrance venture deep into the heart of Everafter to seek clues as to who has stolen the slipper and why. Along the way, they uncover what happened to the Seven Dwarves after Snow White married the prince, but also learn the awful risk of tampering with black magic and the high price that must be paid for magic, even when used for good.

Bianca and Terrance’s relationship is put to the test. Through the pain of suffering and loss, Bianca must determine if following her gallant boyfriend into his faraway world is in fact her heart's desire.
