Winner will receive a paperback set of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (US only)! ~~~

The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods and newly released The Weirn Books, Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon (JY, an imprint of Yen Press | October 15, 2024 | Ages 8-12). In the Night Realm, shifters, vampires, weirns (a particular kind of witch), and other night things passing for human may prowl the streets, but school is still in session—and you still have to do your homework!

In The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods, Ailis and Na’ya are pretty average students, but when a shadow starts looming and a classmate gets all weird, they’re the first to notice. It gets personal, though, when Na’ya’s little brother D’esh disappears. To get him back, she has no choice but to confront the secrets of the forbidden mansion in the Silent Woods!

School Library Journal hailed The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods as a “sweet, not-too-scary coming-of-age story that feels like a young read-alike to Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” while Publishers Weekly praised Chmakova’s signature art style: “Classic manga visuals enrich Chmakova’s charming, full-color art: sweeping magic amid serene concentration, shadows accentuating fear-inspiring retorts from authority figures, and facial contortions add humor to life-and-death stakes… Chmakova smartly keeps the focus on family, friendship, and the relatable struggles of fitting in.”

Just in time for Halloween, The Weirn Books, Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon takes readers back to Chmakova’s supernatural world full of magic, adventure, and… dragons! After her terrible adventures in the Silent Woods, Na’ya’s world seems to have returned to normal… that is, except for the nightmares that keep haunting her. What she needs is the power to protect everyone, and she has the perfect solution—she’ll turn into a dragon, once and for all! With help from Ailis and Jasper, everything seems to be going according to plan. But what’s that dark shadow slithering around the spell-casting range?

Chmakova is considered one of the most iconic creators in the middle grade graphic novel space, making a name for herself with acclaimed and award-winning works like Dramacon, Nightschool, Berrybrook Middle School, the manga adaptation of James Patterson's Witch & Wizard, and the webcomic Chasing Rainbows. Her most recent graphic novel, Enemies (released Sept 2022), was a top seller in the category.

Guest Post by Chandra Lynn, M.B.A., Author of Root to Rise & Autographed Book Giveaway

 

Why You Can Have a Good Life and Still Feel Like Something Is Missing

By Chandra Lynn, M.B.A.

This article is for the woman who looks at her life and thinks, I have so much to be grateful for. Why am I not happier?

Maybe the kids are finally asleep. The kitchen is mostly clean. You sit down for the first time all day, and instead of relief there’s a low hum you can’t quite name.

Nothing is wrong. You love your family, you know how lucky you are, and you could list a dozen reasons to be grateful without trying. That’s what makes the feeling so hard to talk about, even with yourself. So you cover it with a little guilt (I should be happy) and keep going.

Maybe you try to fix it from the outside with a new routine, a weekend away, or a bigger goal at work. Sometimes that helps. A lot of the time, though, we’re trimming branches when the part asking for attention is underground, in the roots.

I learned that in my own body.

What I Was Really Building

When my son, Kai, was a baby, I joined a gym. I was working from home, and the gym’s childcare gave me something I hadn’t had since he was born: time that was just mine.

On paper, it was about getting my body back. I had gained more weight than I wanted, my pre-baby clothes didn’t fit, and I didn’t like what I saw in pictures. The harder part was the voice in my head. For years I had called myself “the 10-pound overweight girl,” and after Kai that inner critic got louder. Some days it felt like my body was working against me.

So I made the scary walk over to the free weights. The people there were far kinder and more helpful than I had imagined. I found a 12-week beginner program, followed it all the way through, and learned that consistency mattered more than any one workout. I’ve been on a program of one kind or another ever since.

Somewhere along the way I realized the muscle was the smaller part of it. My self-talk got quieter. What I was really building was trust in myself, and a slowly growing belief that I am worth taking care of. I still notice things in the mirror I’d change, but I’m proud of what I built.

When I reached my goals, I hosted a thank-you dinner for the people who had supported me. I didn’t get there alone, and I wanted them to know it.

That season taught me something I now build my work around. We expect the rise without the roots, and the root work is where the magic happens.

Your Five Roots

In my Root-to-Rise® framework, I picture a life as a tree with five roots: Health, Family, Relationships, Career, and Friends. Everything other people see lives above ground. What holds it up is underneath.

The roots aren’t a ranking, and they won’t all be thriving at the same time. Life moves in seasons. When your kids are little, Family may be getting nearly all the water while Health or Friends go dry for a while. That’s normal. It’s also worth noticing, because a root that stays dry long enough starts to affect the whole tree.

The Hidden Forces Underneath

Below the roots are what I call the Hidden Forces: six human needs that quietly drive our choices. The idea comes from human needs psychology, which traces back to Abraham Maslow and was developed further by Tony Robbins and Cloe Madanes. Root-to-Rise is my adaptation of it.

The six are Security (stability and a sense of safety), Variety (change and fresh experiences), Self (feeling that you matter as you), Intimacy (closeness and belonging), Growth (learning and expanding), and Transcendence (contributing to something bigger than yourself).

We all have all six, and none of them is good or bad. What matters is how we’re meeting them, and what our way of meeting them is costing us.

For a lot of moms, this is where the restlessness comes from. Caring for your children can feed Intimacy and Transcendence in ways nothing else ever has, and running a household can feel a lot like Security. But the same role can crowd out a need without your noticing. You can get so good at meeting everyone else’s needs that Self, the need to feel like a person apart from your roles, gets almost nothing. Or Growth stalls because there’s no room left in the day to learn anything just for you.

When “Something Is Missing” Is Information

That restless feeling is usually a signal, and it’s worth listening to before you decide what it means. Most of the time it doesn’t mean you need to blow up your life. It may mean one root has been dry for a while, or that a need that barely registered five years ago matters much more now.

This comes up often in transitions, when kids start school or leave home, when your body changes, or when your work does. The strategies that carried you through the last season were the right ones for that time. Some of them may not fit the woman you’re becoming.

You can be deeply grateful for your life and still be curious about what it’s asking of you.

Try This Week

The next time the restlessness shows up, don’t rush to fix it. Pause and ask one question: What need am I trying to meet right now?

If the answer is Self, you may not need a whole weekend away. Ten minutes that belong only to you might do more. Pick one small way to feed that need this week, and make it small enough that perfectionism can’t talk you out of it. Then notice what changes.

Root-to-Rise was never about building a perfect life. It’s about building roots strong enough to love the life you have, even when it’s messy, hard, and uncertain.

Discover Your Hidden Force

If you’re curious which of the six needs may be shaping your choices right now, my free Hidden Forces Quiz can help you see it.

Fall Seasons Of Books Giveaway Hop - Enter to Win Audiobook Copy of Phantom!

Fall Seasons of Books #GiveawayHop

@ShannonMiz @Versatileer #FallSeasonsOfBooks #Fall #SeasonsOfBooks #GiveawayHop

Today I'm giving one lucky winner a audio book copy of my young adult novel Phantom, narrated by Micaela  Harper!

Rebecca has always been enchanted by the musical Phantom, but she never expected her life to turn into a chilling reflection of the story.

When her high school drama club chooses Phantom as their annual production, she lands the coveted lead, but stepping into Christine’s shoes comes with more than just stage lights and romance. She finds herself torn between two co-stars—Tom, the golden-boy athlete playing the dashing hero, and Justyn, the enigmatic Goth who is almost too convincing as the tortured Phantom.

As rehearsals begin, the drama doesn't stay onstage. Curtains fall, mirrors shatter, and chilling messages echo lines from the script. Is Justyn slipping too far into character, or is the real villain hiding behind another mask? With opening night fast approaching, Rebecca must uncover the truth before the final act turns deadly.
The stage is set. The Phantom is real. And he’s closer than she ever imagined.

Fall Seasons Of Books Giveaway Hop - Enter to Win Audiobook Copy of Morrigan!

Fall Seasons of Books #GiveawayHop

@ShannonMiz @Versatileer #FallSeasonsOfBooks #Fall #SeasonsOfBooks #GiveawayHop

Today I'm giving one lucky winner a audio book copy of my young adult novel Morrigan, narrated by Maliah Eleanor!

Abandoned as an infant, Morrigan spent years shuffled around the foster system, never finding a permanent home. People either bullied or avoided her, sensing she was different. She does her best to keep her abilities hidden: the power to move objects with her mind, control fire, and glimpse the future. Believing her dreams of mystical creatures and castles are her imagination, it isn’t until Filtiarn appears, the dark knight of her fantasies and the man tasked with guiding her to the magical land of Tír na NÓg, that she realizes her true identity. Once reunited with her mother and grandmother, will their triad be able to save the forgotten land of magic from being devoured by an ancient evil?

Fall Seasons Of Books Giveaway Hop - Enter to Win Audiobook Copies of Player & Nine Lives!

Fall Seasons of Books #GiveawayHop

@ShannonMiz @Versatileer #FallSeasonsOfBooks #Fall #SeasonsOfBooks #GiveawayHop

Today I'm giving one lucky winner a audio book copy of my young adult novel Player, narrated by Jeremy Gill!!

Joshua Hanover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn't take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn't know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn't worth the price he's paying to be a player.

Available on Amazon & Audible

As an added bonus, I'm also throwing in an audiobook copy of my short story Nine Lives which was also narrated by Jeremy and just released this week. 

Johnny might be a nerdy gamer, but not even death can stop him from protecting his kid sister. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if he has to do it in the form of a mangy Tom cat.
