Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday - Unicorn Keep by Angelia Almos

Unicorn Keep by Angelia Almos

Unicorn Keep is my new young adult fantasy about Jiline who switches places with her best friend, Madelen, to become a unicorn keeper. It should be coming out in May if production stays on target with no major disasters.

***
Madelen shook her head. “Wilm said he refused to speak on my behalf. Afraid of angering the mages.” She picked up a strand of grass hay and began to pick the flowers from it, her eyes darted to Jiline’s face and away.

She recognized the look. Madelen was holding something back. “What is it?”

“You have to promise not to tell.”

“Of course,” she whispered.

“Wilm wants me to run away with him when I’m supposed to go to the mages.”

    Not necessarily tell--if she can take advantage of the situation.

    Ahh the age-old "stay in school or run away with hot young thing" dilemma. Interesting!

Books to Movies Giveaway Hop

One of my favorite subjects are books to movies. I LOVE watching adaptations and studying the skill of turning a book into a movie. Adaptations are getting a lot of attention now with the success of the Twilight and The Hunger Games series. I could go on and on about the skill it takes to adapt a movie from a book, but I won't bore you. Instead I'll just give you a couple of my favorites: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen ~ Pride and Prejudice (A&E version) Emma by Jane Austen ~ Clueless The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum ~ Tin Man Cinderella ~ Ever After How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell ~ How to Train Your Dragon For the hop I decided to giveaway a copy of another one of my favorite adaptations. This is the first movie I consciously remember knowing it was based on a book and actually went out and read the book. The specifics of the plot are different, but the characters and overall arc are the same. Besides Hayley Mills is charming in the role

Welcome to my Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday snippet. You can read other #sffsat snippts here. Unicorn Keep is a young adult fantasy romance about a girl who swaps places with her best friend to become a unicorn keeper. *** “Your family sent you alone,” Herrick said. Of course they had, they had believed she was traveling on a well-traveled road to the closest city with Wilm as her escort. But she didn’t say that. Instead, she sat up taller. “You’re traveling alone.” “I’m not a child.”   She glared at him. “I’m not a child either.” “You couldn’t be more than fifteen.”   Her irritation grew at his accurate guess.   *** Available as an ebook from Amazon , Barnes and Noble , and Smashwords . Available as a print book from Create Space and Amazon .
