After SRO Signing at BookCon, Hot Fairy Tale Shifter Series Author Christina Bauer Extends Signing Debut to ALA
Excitement for Wolves And Roses, a new book that brings together Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Red Riding Hood in a Manhattan teen therapy group, led to Monster House Books expanding the debut galley signing tour in tandem with Distributors IPG and INscribe Digital.
Newton, MA – June 15, 2017 – Monster House Books LLC (MHB) today announced an extended debut signing for author Christina Bauer. Held in tandem with Distributor IPG and Inscribe Digital, this signing extends the 2017 pre-release debut schedule for author Christina Bauer from BookCon to ALA, the American Library Association Annual Conference and Exhibition (#ALAAC17). Although Bauer has sold more than a half-million eBooks, Wolves And Roses marks her first release with high-volume print distribution. It is also the first novel in a new young adult series that combines fairy tale characters, shifters, and mid-town Manhattan.
“Imagine Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Red Riding Hood and the Evil Queen from Snow White,” says author Christina Bauer. “They’re all in a basement in Midtown Manhattan, and they’re attending a therapy group for magical girls who fail at their fairy tale life template. That’s the opening scene from Wolves & Roses. When I wrote it, I thought ‘this is so crazy, it has to exist.’ I was thrilled when my distributor became excited about the title, and it was even more satisfying to see the response from readers at BEA and BookCon.”
“Christina printed up sample chapters, arrived early to the show, and then handed out pages to prospective readers waiting to enter BookCon,” says Jeff Palicki, VP Marketing, Independent Publishers Group (IPG). “Christina was simply that excited to get her work out there. The result was dramatic. We had people lining up well before the start time and we went through every copy available in no time. Adding ALA to Christina’s debut tour was a no brainer for us.”
ALA Presence
Monster House Books will attend ALA in tandem with INscribe Digital and IPG. A limited number of signed galley copies of Wolves And Roses will be available at the IPG Booth, along with downloadable copies of other titles from Monster House Books. In addition, Wolves And Roses author Christina Bauer will sign galley copies of Wolves And Roses at ALA on Monday, June 26th at 10AM in Booth #2720.
Wolves And Roses is set to release on October 31st, 2017, and qualified reviewers may request a pre-street copy by visiting the following page: https://monsterhousebooks.com/blog/wrgalley
About WOLVES And ROSES
Seventeen-year-old Bryar Rose has a problem. She’s descended from one of the three magical races—shifters, fairies, or witches. That makes her one of the Magicorum, and Magicorum always follow a fairy tale life template. In Bryar’s case, that template should be Sleeping Beauty.
“Should” being the key word.
Trouble is, Bryar is nowhere near the sleeping beauty life template. Not even close. She doesn’t like birds or woodland creatures. She can’t sing. And she certainly can’t stand Prince Philpot, the so-called “His Highness of Hedge Funds” that her aunties want her to marry. Even worse, Bryar’s having recurring dreams of a bad boy hottie and is obsessed with finding papyri from ancient Egypt. What’s up with that?
All Bryar wants is to attend a regular high school with normal humans and forget all about shifters, fairies, witches, and the curse that Colonel Mallory the Magnificent placed on her. And she might be able to do just that–if only she can just keep her head down until her eighteenth birthday when the spell that’s ruined her life goes buh-bye.
But that plan gets turned upside down when Bryar Rose meets Knox, the bad boy who’s literally from her dreams. Knox is a powerful werewolf, and his presence in her life changes everything, and not just because he makes her knees turn into Jell-O. If Bryar can’t figure out who—or what—she really is, it might cost both her and Knox their lives… as well as jeopardize the very nature of magic itself.
