Mary Waibel’s ✨FAERY MARKED✨ is THE perfect summer read for young book lovers…or if you are like me who enjoys reading YA—you’ll enjoy it too!

Mary Waibel is a romantic at heart. Her love of fairy tales, fantasy, and happy-ever-after fill the pages of her stories.

When not twisting her own tales, she can be found with her nose buried in any book she can get her hands on. Some of her favorite authors are Nora Roberts, Shannon Hale, Lisa Shearin, and Kristin Cashore.

A snippet from FAERY MARKED:

Magic, mistaken identities, and hidden agendas are the least of Callie's worries when she learns that the Cordial requires a sacrifice. Will Callie be willing to risk everything―even Reece―to complete her task as Champion? Or will she let the portal open, and doom both realms?

P.S. A fun fact—A cover design from earlier in my book cover art career. This was one of the first cover designs I did. 💗

A few more books to add to your beach read list!

"I devoured this book in one sitting! The Coven opens the reader's mind to the magic all around us. Ms. Lessey's beautiful account of the lengths a mother will go to for her child is splattered with a family's age-old quest for revenge, a touch of romance, and a loving account of a small town community's bond and commitment to each other. Fans of Nora Roberts' light paranormal stories (Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy, Three Sisters Island Trilogy) will love The Coven.” - Jessica Calla, author of The Sheridan Hall Series and The Love Square

"It's Practical Magic meets Steel Magnolias."
- Chanda Platania, Neuse Regional Library

🧙‍♀️ Can't wait for October to get witchy? 🧙‍♀️

Then give Chrissy Lessey's Crystal Coast series a read! She takes you on a wild ride with a coven that ties all the way back to Blackbeard!

Never ending wonders of Mother Nature. Our creator always amazes me. Simply stunning.

Humans are blind to ultraviolet light, but bugs can see it, and boy are they lucky! Ultraviolet florescence photography gives us a hint of how flowers look to pollinators. Insects see the world very differently from how humans see it. They can’t see red light like we do, but can […]

Authors—Creating a memorable reader experience is a great way to grow your reader base—make them wanting to come back for more. You can increase the value of your book by adding something that lure the reader deeper into your story. Take this book for an example, Godwin’s readers will find that every chapter is introduced with an unique quote that sets the tone and scene. Also included is a bookmark, a map of his fictional landscape, and a letter (styled to give the reader a feel for its weathered old age.)

**Bonus…the personalized message is definitely my most favorite. I love working with authors❤️
