My book birthday has arrived! Things old and Forgotten is now available on Amazon. I’m going on tour throughout the moth of October, and to celebrate, I’m offering the ebook at the introductory price of .99c through Halloween. Grab your copy now and discover…

BOOK BLURB:
A man keeping King Arthur’s dream of Camelot alive.
A Robin Hood battling in a drastically different Sherwood.
A young man facing eternity in the desert.
A genteel southern lady besting a powerful order of genies.
A woman meeting her father decades after his death.
These are but a few of the intriguing tales waiting to be discovered in Things Old and Forgotten. Prepare to be transported to realms of folklore and legend, where magic and wonder linger around every corner, and fantastic possibilities are limited only by imagination.

I not only like the cover, but I started reading the first story at lunch (almost finished it, but had to get back to work) and I have to say, I’m thinking it might be your very best writing EVER, and that’s saying a lot. There were some truly elegant lines that caught my eye. I’m a word person (can’t you tell?) and I LOVE beautiful use of language. I had to stop to underline several phrases that painted especially gorgeous pictures for my mind’s eye. If the rest of the book is up to the standards of this story (and I see no reason to think it won’t be), I’m going to love every single page! GREAT job, my Penderpal! 🤗💗

Reblogged this on Mark Bierman and commented:
Today I just wanted to help spread the word about a new release written by a very talented wordsmith, Mae Claire. She’s an auto buy author for me. When I was taking my writing course, they said to be sure to include a ‘golden nugget’ at least once per page. Well, Mae does this at least once PER PARAGRAPGH.
