“Picking a favorite is so hard! I have different favorite on different days.

Today I’m going to go with The Gremlin Prince. This one is a favorite of mine because it was so much fun to write. More than that, it started as a joke and turned into this story that I love and made me laugh as well as filled me with sadness.

I was picking my kids up from school one day and was talking to a friend while I waited. We were discussing another book we’d been hearing about that was about trolls. We were laughing about how that was such an unusual choice of creatures and I (as a joke) said, “I’m going to write a story about gremlins and goblins.” I laughed. She laughed. Then we stopped laughing and I more seriously said, “Dude. I’m going to write a story about gremlins and goblins.

In the next twenty minutes, we’d talked through the plot to The Gremlin Prince and then I got to work writing it!”

Check out The Gremlin Prince…

Alyssum Bracken will do anything to find the Gremlin Prince…

After a longtime feud over copper between the Gremalian and the Gobel races, her people’s only hope for survival lies with Jensen Burkhardt and the hope he inherited his father’s abilities. When she tracks him down, Alyssum discovers she isn’t the first to get there. Aric, a rival goblin, is already ensconced in Jensen’s life.

Risking exile to save both races from a bloody war, the unlikely trio come together to fight for everything they love. A forbidden friendship with Aric, a first love with Jensen, while juggling the leader of her people, who’s also her father, prejudice against the Gobel—and Aric’s people trying to kill them all—could be too much for Alyssum to handle.Jensen’s strength is the one thing keeping Alyssum grounded, but will their relationship be jeopardized by her friendship with Aric? Will any of them survive?

Alyssum isn’t sure… but she’s going to fight like hell.
