Book Release - Angelica:The princess and the Pig - Grant Eagar

Hi All,
     My novel, Angelica: The Princess and the Pig is now released. Hurrah! It has been a labor of love and I'm excited to finally get it published.
        It started out as a short story that I presented in the Philadelphia Writer's Workshop with our instructor Rachel Koben. I was working away from home at the time and the workshop brought me much joy. My writing was rough, but the experience kept me occupied while away from home.

     The cover is by Lara Wynter from Australia. I am excited how it turned out. I had three different versions of the cover that I had my coworkers vote on and this is what we came up with. I appreciate Lara's patience and her ability to keep the projects out of the weeds. This picture is taken from a scene where Angelica must fend off some kidnappers to defend the princess and Riana, the fairy, joins the mayhem.

 

The Blurb:
   

A great tale of magic with a relatable main character …Very satisfying … a pacy read, with lots of humor.  -  Clare

More than Angelica, I loved the imagination. The story never pauses. It keeps you on this fast, fun ride. There were plenty of laugh out loud moments paired with the edge of your seat action.  -  Jordan

Angelica, a witch, is determined she will not be a lady-in-waiting to the princess. Her brilliant plan is to speak out against the war in front of the king. The good news is that she is not hung. The not so good news is that she gets a day in the stocks and the lowly position of a maid.

She begins her new life in service to the princess, but when kidnappers attempt to take her royal highness, Angelica turns the princess into a pig in a last-ditch effort to rescue her.

The only problem is, Angelica doesn’t know how to turn the princess back.

Armed with only her on-again/off-again magical powers, Angelica needs to thwart the kidnappers, end the war, and save the princess. If she fails the princess will be eaten or worse yet given to the enemy by the kidnappers. 

If you enjoyed Amelia Bedelia, you’ll love Angelica.
