Ebook Sale

1 July 2025 Minerva Cerridwen

Hi!

As the one thing that can make the summer heat a little more bearable is, of course, a book, I have good news: the 2025 Summer Sale at Smashwords has begun! My publisher Atthis Arts is participating, which means that the ebook for The Dragon of Ynys is currently at 50% off, as well as all other Atthis Arts ebooks, including some of my favourites Alia Terra, Be the Sea, Pluralities, One Arm Shorter Than The Other, duology Just Bart & Just Chad, short story collection Awkward Tomatoes, and anthologies Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove and Community of Magic Pens. Enjoy!

Atthis Arts will also be present at Seattle WorldCon 2025, August 13-17. If you’re going, they’d love for you to pay them a visit and say hi. And of course there will be books to buy at their table!

Finally, it’s the first of July, so here’s the 405th edition of Paranatellonta. Thank you for reading!

Stay hydrated!

An Interview with Snap

22 June 201822 June 2018 Minerva Cerridwen

Hello!

A new character interview was published today, this time with Snap, the dragon of Ynys himself! You can read it here: http://candidceillie.com/character-interview-snap-the-dragon-of-ynys/

I also realise I haven’t shown off my absolutely awesome phone cover yet, here on the blog. And a friend made this brilliant keychain for me! My eternal thanks to her, and of course to Kirby Crow for the design of The Dragon of Ynys‘ cover.

And some not-Dragon-related news:

The publication of Darkling’s Beasts and Brews: Poetry with a Drink on the Side is expected in October 2018, ready to provide some Halloween goodness. You can find its cover and table of contents here on Facebook.

I also rearranged my website a little, mainly making the Stories page a lot neater than it was. Have a look around and let me know what you think!

The Dragon of Ynys is now available at:

and you can add it on Goodreads.

THE DRAGON OF YNYS on Goodreads and on sale

6 April 20188 April 2018 Minerva Cerridwen

You can now add my novella to your shelves on Goodreads! Click here to find it.

If you ever hesitate if you should publish a Goodreads review for a book you’ve read, know that the answer is yes. Reviews will show on your Goodreads friends’ feeds, giving them the chance to discover independent books. They’re a handy tool for readers who are checking out a book and want to find out if it’s something they might enjoy. And I’ve heard many other authors say that on Amazon, books with more than 50 reviews will be promoted more, based on their algorithms (though I can’t immediately find a reliable source for this). So even if your review is just a few words, they are of enormous value to authors.

That said, I also want to tell you that The Dragon of Ynys is even more on sale than it already was! Aside from the preorder sale, Less Than Three Press is celebrating its ninth birthday this month. That means there’s an extra 29% sale in April, and with every book you buy from them, you’re entered into a raffle (read more about all that here!). For my novella, this means there’s a 40% sale in total, so it’s only $1.80 if you buy it this month. And then it’s just a month and 10 days’ wait until it arrives in your mailbox ^^
