Good news! The Stone Awakened (the 2nd book in my Guardians of Erin young adult paranormal series) has been nominated for InD’Tale Magazine’s prestigious RONE Award! The week of April 15 – 21 is the reader voting phase of the award process, and if I receive enough votes, I’ll reach the actual judging phase.  Wouldn’t you know, I’ll be away on a mostly tech-free family vacation when the voting starts, but I’ll schedule a reminder post before I go.

If you’ve read and enjoyed the book, please consider voting for it. If you haven’t read it but would like to, comment below or send me a message on Facebook, and I’ll give you a free digital copy.  Just to be clear: you don’t have to vote for me to receive a copy.  But this way, anyone who does vote will have had the chance to read it.

Thanks in advance for your support.  Have a lovely weekend! 🙂

Work in Progress ~ THE SWORD UNSHEATHED

I finished my detailed outline of Return of the Raven, the fifth and final book of my medieval romance series, The Novels of Ravenwood, and it’ll be waiting for me when I finish my latest work in progress, The Sword Unsheathed (Guardians of Erin, Book 3).  As of yesterday, Chapter One is underway, and I’m loving my return to Ireland, if only in my mind.

There are many twists and turns (and reveals!) in this third installment, in which Kian Donoghue’s paranormal powers come to the fore.  I can’t wait to share it with you.  But the book won’t write itself, so I’d better get to work!  Have a lovely day, and I’ll see you on the next Medieval Monday.  🙂

We have a winner!

My recent giveaway for signed print copies of The Cauldron Stirred and The Stone Awakened has ended.  A million thanks to each and every one of the 682 entrants!  Alas–and to paraphrase a famous quote from the movie Highlander–there could be only one winner.

Congratulations to Jodi Hassel!  I’m sending the books on their merry way and hope you enjoy the story.  I’ll start writing The Sword Unsheathed, the third book in the Guardians of Erin series, next month.

Again, thank you to everyone who entered.  Hope you’ll check out my books, but whether or not you do, I’m wishing you a bright, beautiful 2019!

Good news and an early Christmas present:  N. N. Light’s Book Heaven has given The Stone Awakened five stars!  What a lovely launch into the world for a story that’s near to my heart.  Here’s a snippet of the review:

“Filled with plenty of conflict, action and mystery, this is a must-read for any reader looking for a book to lose oneself in. There’s quite a bit going on and Judith Sterling weaves mythology throughout the plot with ease.”

That’s all the news for now.  Whatever your plans for today, I hope they go well for you.  Cheers!

A little more about The Stone Awakened:

Since moving to Ireland, Ashling Donoghue has tackled one challenge after another. Now the mystery of her parents’ disappearance seems unsolvable. Are they dead or only missing? No one—not even the godlike Breasals—has a clue. Hope and fear war inside her, but she’s determined to find answers and stay strong for her siblings. Even as she hones newfound powers, her banshee-in-training sister Deirdre needs her support.

Ashling could use a little help herself. She’s struggling to navigate her first romance, and while Aengus Breasal stirs her body, mind, and soul, his nemesis Lorcan does too. Both men harbor secrets about her past life as Caer. One has ties to Aoife, the scheming wind demon whose influence is on the rise.

As the Stone of Destiny awakens, so does the conflict within.
