Enchanted Skies: Mythical Creatures and Fantasy Adventures for a Cause

I’m so excited to say the fourth Enchanted Anthology is out today! Enchanted Skies brings together ten authors to share tales of air magic and flying mythical creatures, blending fantasy, folklore and mythology for a spellbinding collection of stories that is sure to enchant!

As with all of the Enchanted Anthologies, this edition is raising funds for an environmental charity. All profits from Enchanted Skies will go to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief fund, to support communities affected by the devastating effects of hurricanes and tropical storms by providing shelter, food and comfort. If you enjoy reading fantasy stories filled with adventure, humour, magic and romance, why not pick up a copy of Enchanted Skies and help us to raise funds for a cause that’s close to our hearts?

High-flying adventure, magical mayhem, and new horizons are in the air.
Take to the stormy skies on the backs of dragons or the ancient thunderbirds. In this clean fantasy anthology, you’ll soar into fantastic realms and meet creatures drawn from myth and legend. A hippogriff, Pegasus, harpies, and so much more.
Inspired by tales from around the world, these short stories will propel you into adventures of murder, mystery, and vengeance. These award-winning, bestselling, and emerging authors will lift and inspire you and leave you wishing you had wings of your own.
Fans of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson & The Olympians series and Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology will adore this collection, where every encounter is a battle for survival and a test of wills.
All profits from this anthology will go to the Red Cross to support hurricane relief.


When Skies Darken by Lyndsey Hall

Ayla Willowbark is the eldest princess of the Sylph Queendom, a territory known for its air-magic wielding fae and barren beauty. In the depths of grief, having been widowed in a vicious attack by their neighbours, the Celeste, Ayla bids the Sylph settlement farewell and moves to a remote windmill to rediscover herself.

When a handsome, injured stranger turns up on her doorstep in the midst of a terrible storm, she does the only decent thing and takes him (and his horse) in. Isolated and forced together by circumstances, it isn’t long before romance begins to bloom between Ayla and the charming Lord Egan.

But when the Celeste return to finish what they started, will Ayla lose everything once more, or can love triumph over evil?


We hope you enjoy our stories! If you do read Enchanted Skies, we’d absolutely love if you could leave us an honest review on Amazon, they help new readers to decide whether to pick up a book, and the more readers we find the more money we raise for charity.

Thanks friends,

Lyndsey

Vote for Enchanted Flames in the All Author Cover Contest!

Hi friends! I’ve got a big favour to ask of you today, but don’t worry, it won’t cost you a penny.

Our latest charity anthology, Enchanted Flames is currently in first place in the All Author Cover Contest, and we’d really appreciate your vote.

We’re neck and neck with another cover and it’s going to be a close run thing all the way to the end, so all support is really appreciated!

Click the cover below to vote:

Thank you so much if you voted! As a charity anthology, we don’t take any royalties as all profits go to the World Land Trust’s Wildfire Appeal, and therefore we can’t afford to spend much on advertising Enchanted Flames. The first prize of free advertising for the book would help us to reach so many more readers and raise a lot more money for forest conservation. As of right now, we’ve raised over $200 for communities affected by wildfires and voting for our cover in the contest will help us to reach our goal of $1,000 raised in the first year.

Thank you, friends!

Last call for Enchanted Flames ARCs!

Hey friends, there’s less than a month until Enchanted Flames is out in the world! We’re so excited to share this awesome collection of fire fantasy stories with you all.

The ARC sign up sheet is still open for applications, so if you enjoyed our past collections, Enchanted Waters and Enchanted Forests, or you’d just really love to read an early review copy of ten fire-magic and mythical creature focused fantasy stories, then click the cover below to apply!

My story is called The Wyvern and the Woodwitch, and follows an apothecary in the Salamander Kingdom (part of my Fair Realm world) as she tries to find the cure to a deadly sickness that has spread across the realm and infected the young Prince. With the help of a curious wyvern, she journeys into the heart of the mountains to find the rare plant she needs to create the cure, but when she crosses paths with an arrogant woodcutter, can she complete her task without getting her fingers burned-or her heart broken?


If you’re not already a member of our fan group on Facebook, come and join us for all the latest behind the scenes info on our stories, and updates on how much our anthologies have raised for our chosen charities (almost $2,000 so far!).

We can’t wait to share these stories with you on 18 June and donate all profits to the World Land Trust’s Wildfire Appeal!
