The Princelings Books: Jemima Pett
All the news of the Princelings of the East books – fantasy for all ages
I had some spare time this morning after doing an editing session. I’m still exploring the capabilities of the new computer I got in January, so having taken a photo of myself with the books the other day, I saw it had video on it too, so….
… here is a video of me reading from Chapter 4 of the Princelings and the Pirates!
It’s three years since I published The Princelings and the Pirates. That was book 2 and I’m now working on book 7! I know a few readers are rushing to keep up, and it’s all the more helpful since the first book went on free sale, as Pirates’ sales picked up beautifully in 2014.
The Princelings and the Pirates is where Fred meets Kira for the first time. Kira is kidnapped from her home castle, Dimerie, and Fred rescues her from Castle Marsh. How their love blossoms is part of the adventure in the Princelings and the Lost City. It’s not really a romance, though – except I love the way Fred does that cool thing of pretending he doesn’t care when he has to sort out the mystery. Yes, Fred, we read you – ok!
The rest of the series is really about the way life in the realms changes, partly due to the inventions George is involved with, but also other reasons, like commercial developments and power struggles. Will they be able to meet the commitment Lupin, Fred, George and Victor were involved in making to Hugo, Lord Mariusz, at the end of Book 1? Time will tell!
Some time in the autumn I’m planning to bring out new versions of the three books of the trilogy in paperback. As you might have seen earlier in the year, that means revised covers.
Here’s a sneak peek of the cover for Pirates… the titling needs a little adjustment, but… well, what do you think?
It’s two years since I published The Princelings and the Pirates. That was book 2 and I’m now preparing book 6! I know at least one reader is rushing to keep up.
The Princelings and the Pirates is where Fred meets Kira for the first time. Kira is kidnapped from her home castle, Dimerie, and Fred rescues her from Castle Marsh. How their love blossoms is part of the adventure in the Princelings and the Lost City – currently on special offer as you can read in this post. That ends on Friday, Valentines Day, so hurry! It’s not really a romance, though – except I love the way Fred does that cool thing of pretending he doesn’t care when he has to sort out the mystery. Yes, Fred, we read you – ok!
The cover reveal for Bravo Victor is still on schedule for 2nd April. If you’d like to reveal it on your blog, or take an ARC to review for May – just let me know.
