October 2012
Halloween??? Already??? It seems like the entire month of October went by so fast. First, we had the first tastes of fall with pumpkin treats and autumn leaves, and now the fun of costumes and CANDY! Well, the kids will enjoy the candy and I am sure you will sneak a few pieces.
As Halloween is on a Wednesday this year, perhaps you already celebrated this past weekend like I did.

Editorial Content for Iron Hearted VioletBookContributorsReviewer (text)Sarah Rachel Egelman
Under a mirrored sky with two suns, a young princess longs to be beautiful. Though she is brave, loyal and clever, Violet knows that the princesses in stories are always lovely and fair. But she has a lopsided face and mismatched eyes. The desire to be beautiful, as she believes a real princess should be, draws Violet into a dangerous battle for the future of her world.

Princess Violet is plain, reckless, and quite possibly too clever for her own good. One day she and her best friend, Demetrius, stumble upon a hidden room and find a peculiar book. A forbidden book. It tells a story of an evil being --- called the Nybbas --- imprisoned in their world. Violet and Demetrius, along with an ancient, scarred dragon, may hold the key to the Nybbas's triumph...or its demise.

The end of their world begins with a story.
This one.
In most fairy tales, princesses are beautiful, dragons are terrifying, and stories are harmless. This isn't most fairy tales.
Princess Violet is plain, reckless, and quite possibly too clever for her own good. Particularly when it comes to telling stories. One day she and her best friend, Demetrius, stumble upon a hidden room and find a peculiar book. A forbidden book. It tells a story of an evil being --- called the Nybbas --- imprisoned in their world. The story cannot be true --- not really. But then the whispers start. Violet and Demetrius, along with an ancient, scarred dragon, may hold the key to the Nybbas's triumph...or its demise. It all depends on how they tell the story. After all, stories make their own rules.
IRON HEARTED VIOLET is a story of a princess unlike any other. It is a story of the last dragon in existence, deathly afraid of its own reflection. Above all, it is a story about the power of stories, our belief in them, and how one enchanted tale changed the course of an entire kingdom.
