#TeaserTuesday Cover Reveal: Cursed Hearts!

10.04.2016 by Starla Huchton // 2 Comments

It’s about that time again. One month from now, on November 1st, 2016, the second book in the Hearts of Valentia saga drops! I was all set to share a teaser on social media today, but it occurred to me I haven’t shown anyone the cover yet. Seeing as we’re so close to release day, I should probably remedy that, eh? :) [Read more…]

Cover Reveal: Dust in the Desert

04.22.2016 by Starla Huchton // 1 Comment

SAHFantasySo this went out to my email newsletter subscribers on Wednesday evening, and now it’s time to tell the rest of the world!

As you know from my last post, Dust in the Desert is a retelling of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, and I talked a bit about the issues I had with it already. So here’s my question:

Problematic Hero? I Can Fix That.

You guys, we gotta talk about Aladdin.

For real. This definitely needs discussing.

I don’t mean the dewey-eyed Disney-fied Aladdin with catchy songs and a hilarious genie and hidden adult humor. When I say Aladdin, I mean ALADDIN. The original one. The one that I’ve spent a LOT of time with over the past few months.

It’s Story Time! Ride the Wind is Taking Flight!

So, The Chronicles of ISLE, Book 1: Spark is out in the world now (did I forget to mention that here? Whoops. Author fail.) Not only is it live on Amazon, but it’s absolutely a part of the Kindle Unlimited program for those of you who subscribe to that service:

Get Spark right here!

Note: if you haven’t read the Evolution series, it’s highly recommended you do so before beginning this book. You’ll be able to follow the story fine, but there is so much more to understand about this world that you can only learn in detail from the first trilogy!

Also note: this story is NOT for children. Adult situations and mature language are contained therein. (Hence the S. A. Huchton label.)

But now on to today’s news!

Once Upon A Giveaway

02.01.2015 by Starla Huchton // Leave a Comment

I know I’ve promised a post on promo materials, and that’s coming soon, but I’ve been absolutely swamped with design clients, and post-water-leak reconstruction around the house, and of course release day prep, so bear with me. I swear it’s coming.

In the meantime, I’ve been posting giveaway teasers over on my Facebook Author Page for the last two weeks, and it’s time to reveal the whole prize pack! Beginning tomorrow, this will be up for grabs via rafflecopter for The Stillness of the Sky blog tour! [Read more…]
