Happy Book Birthday for A War of Daisies!

Happy book birthday to A War of Daisies, which launches my Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse series!! It's my 13th published book, but a first in many ways. My first fantasy western, my first book set in the 1800s, my first book with four main characters (that was a fun challenge), the first book I've released in hard copy, and the first for which I've made a live-action book trailer. It's Westworld meets Good Omens with a feminist twist. Cowgirls and angels and demons. Horses and six-shooters and cross-country races. A super fun time.

One of my early reviewers said, "If you don't enjoy complex stories of women in patriarchal societies navigating different cross sections of identity, sex, and race...well, I'm afraid I can't help you there, and neither can Chamberlynn. A War of Daisies reads like a western and is structured like a high fantasy epic. The author unapologetically shows the darker, racist, misogynistic side of the old west, giving us a leading cast of women that provides expertly woven, multipolar character arcs."

Anyway, have a glass of champagne with me! Super stoked.

International Release: Book Trailer for The Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse!

 So, I did a thing. A few months back I had a random thought and I ran with it. And the random thought was, why don’t you make a live-action book trailer for Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse and play Death riding her pale horse? I mean, it seemed natural. Max is the perfect pale horse. Why not dress up as one of my characters and create a short film? Not wild/crazy/daunting/audacious at all.

It's been an interesting journey creating this thing. Writing a book is one thing, but starring in a short film? Completely different. I don't really think I thought it through when I first had the idea early this year, and I'm glad I didn't, because I totally would have chickened out. It's really putting myself out there, you know? Like ME, on a screen. It's a very different sort of creative expression than writing. But it was a total blast, and I loved it, and Max actually loved it, and I think we have many more costumed performances in our future. I really LOVE LOVE LOVE how it came out. Hopefully you enjoy it just a fraction as much as I do.

A HUGE shout out to: my friend and amazing filmmaker Ash Mancuso who directed the film, saw my vision, added so much depth and awesomeness to it, made me feel like a rock star while putting up with my camera shyness, and was just an awesome co-creator of this project. My trainer Marsha Hartford Sapp, without whom I would not have a horse who I can throw in western tack (usually we use a dressage saddle), ride with a big, billowy cloak, and shoot clouds of fog at from a machine (oh, and letting me use said western tack and fog machine!). Photographer Kim Chason for capturing our second video shoot with pics I will cherish forever. Sandy Beaulieu for lending me several gorgeous key pieces to my outfit as Death and offering great advice. And so many horse friends who lent me things and cheered me on through this process. It's been a group effort of powerful women coming together, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I would love it if you share this film far and wide! As much as I adore the book trailer, I also adore this series of books and want my characters and my story to find readers who also love it. Dynah/Death is the star of this film, but you’ll also meet Willow, Felicity, and Penelope. They kick ass.

But above all, enjoy the trailer - whether or not you’re into fantasy books about cowgirls and angels and demons!

Death and Dating Releases Today!

Death and Dating, The Quinn Chronicles Book 1, releases today! It's a Zyan Star spin-off series for all you Zyan fans out there. Snag a copy for FREE on Amazon through the 30th!

Life has been a little…interesting…since Quinn Devereux came back from the dead. Well, life being a relative term when you’re not sure if you’re exactly alive. Dating is hard enough without being non-corporeal. And there’s the small matter of her eternal servitude to Death.

But when someone casts a deadly spell on the high priestess of her former coven, Quinn is called in to find the killer. It’s been decades since she left the coven, and the terms of her departure aren’t exactly fond memories. She’s got to come to terms with her past while also learning to handle her new powers, and unfortunately there’s not a charm in her grimoire for that kind of thing.

As if that weren’t enough to cramp a witch’s style, her training to escort souls and become one of Death’s servants begins at precisely the same time Quinn is trying to catch the murderer. Add in a government group that hunts supernaturals and a reunion with the warlock who broke her heart, and you’ve got a whole cauldron of chaos on your hands.

Some witches have all the fun.

Enjoy!

Of Blood, Earth, and Magic Release!!

Hi, friends!

It's finally here! My YA fantasy Of Blood, Earth, and Magic. A book about a girl, a horse, a boy, a land ravaged by magic and monsters, and a circus of rebels. A book from my soul. It's mage punk/tribal fantasy. It's dark and beautiful and whimsical. 

Read on for some fun quotes and pics. Or go ahead and snag it now for FREE if you have Kindle Unlimited, and only 99 cents for everyone else through the end of the week!!

There was a time when the Tribes lived in harmony. Sun, Moon, even the fabled Shadow Tribe. That time is no longer. Now the land has become a wicked wasteland, plagued by strange creatures, enchanted storms, and bubbles of trapped time, remnants of the Shaman Wars. Magic has been outlawed by the Sun, the Moon have gone into seclusion, and the Shadow are all but annihilated, with threat of death hanging over any who step foot within the realm.

This is Iamar.

For Elea, the idea of peace between the tribes is a nothing more than a legend from the history books. She works for a circus of outcasts who travel between the Sun cities. All she wants is freedom: from the circus, to perform her magic, to be herself. But she possesses a deadly secret that makes any chance of liberty impossible. Ashe is a spoiled Sun boy, heir to one of the seven Sun cities. He rebels against his overprotective father by competing in illegal fight dens. Like most Sun, he believes that science is the future, and he’s never traveled outside the walls of his city due to the dangers that lie beyond.

When a new kind of evil begins to terrorize the land, Elea and Ashe find themselves thrown into the center of a coup that could destroy Iamar. To fight the enemy, the Sun and Moon must unite, something that hasn’t been done in three hundred years. But first they must find the Moon Tribe, and that means crossing Iamar, which grows more and more unstable as the dark magic spreads. Dark magic which has everything to do with Elea and her terrible secret.

Book Reviews

"This is definitely a wonderful fantasy story that had me lost in the pages. I was totally intrigued. Don’t miss out once it’s released." Goodreads Reviewer

"Another thing that I really loved about this novel is the way it made every action scene move: with urgency for the life-and-death battles, and a tenderness that just makes you sigh for the quieter interactions between its characters, humans and horses alike. I also really loved how magic is described as part of the earth, having scent like the earth, moving and springing from the earth. It is as much a part of the story as its characters, playing both a destructive and a healing role." Reedsy Discovery

Welcome to the world, book baby! I hope you enjoy Of Blood, Earth, and Magic as much as I do.
