A young friend bought a book off of me this summer, and this is the review I got from him this morning. :) Thank you for enjoying #WarAndChess Jackson. #GishlanBooks #gishlan #TalesFromTheGishlanWood #SummerReading #Summer #Awesome #fantasybooks #FantasyWriter #YoungAdultBooks #WritersOfWyoming #ThatsWY #Bookstagram #HelenMPugsley (at Laramie, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkOVIi8LBCI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have been absolutely failing at my writing goals lately. Instead of staying home to edit #ToCraftANation I caught the homecoming parade. Instead of going home after the parade, to edit, I hung out and got to show my friend's kid the songs I wrote on YouTube. (They're part of #WarandChess and #TalesFromTheGishlanWood ) Then he sang a couple of lines for me. :) Then of course, I had to work. Which a lot of friends popped by. Really sweet times! Well, one of the friends I work with read my books. One of the fairies she had in her collection reminded her of one of the characters. So she just straight up gave me this lovely lady.🥰 Anyway, value your relationships. They're pretty important too. #WriterlifeIsAwesome #GoodDay #Yass #AmWriting #GishlanBooks #Gishlan #gishlanandallitsgishlaners #gishlanseries #Writers #WritersofLaramie #writersofig #WritersOfWyoming #WritingAdvice (at Laramie, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkCUH2JrTwV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anyway, if we're meeting for the first time: Here's me! I've been working on a young adult fantasy series since 2010, that takes place in the mythical world of Gishlan. The first book is #WarAndChess, the second is #TalesFromTheGishlanWood. In War and Chess, the country of Pelprose attacks Gishlan, seemingly unprovoked. Fourteen year old Princess Amethyst takes it upon herself to figure out why, and put a stop to it. Tales From the Gishlan Wood, is a more in depth look at Gishlan itself, the characters we saw in War and Chess, and sets the stage for future books. #TheToothFairy is just kind of it's own thing, as it is a NEW adult urban fantasy novel, which takes place both in Olsen County Wyoming, and Faerie. In 2020, dentist Marlene has to move back to her family's ranch, aaaand then she finds out she's a changeling... And her human counterpart is trapped in the world of Faerie. I do not recommend this book for younger readers because I use authentic cowgirl swear words. As for me, I am from #jayemwyoming but am now living in #Laradise I spend my time wondering aimlessly and looking for misplaced pieces of fruit. #AboutMe #HelenMPugsley #GishlanBooks #Gishlan #changlingsistersbooks #ThatsWY #ThatsWYEnbies #GoGoshen #Wyoming #Author #AuthorLife (at Laramie, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciiyd01rWJL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Got four more. My mail man is good, and being left over night in the snow didn't hurt them. Mail Man tucked them away nicely for me.🙂 #WarandChess should be in my Etsy shop soon. #TalesFromTheGishlanWood is already there💘 Getchu a signed copy like a cool kid.😎 #LinkInBio #ObliviousLuminscence #EtsySeller #EtsyShop #Books #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram (at Laramie, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd058W9LQsy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We've been expecting a shipment of both #WarandChess and #TalesFromTheGishlanWood to reach me, sooner than later, but Amazon left @drakarium.publishing and I asking "What the heck?"🤣 A single copy of War and Chess reached my doorstep this morning. I'm happy to have it. I sold my display copy, and loaned out my author copy. There's a weird emotion when you don't have a copy of your own book in your house... Anyway, the time is now. Buy 150 copies and have more than I do! You win! Send them out with your wedding invitations this spring! It'll be cool! Do it. It is your destiny. #BestAdvertisementEver #IveAlwaysCalledThatBookThatGetsShippedAlone #TheChosenOne #mine #Hoarding #HelenMPugsley #Gishlan #LOL #GishlanBooks #gishlanandallitsgishlaners #Funny #authorsofinstagram #AuthorLife #Shipping #authorsofig #ThatsWYWomen #ThatsWY #Amwriting (at Laramie, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdl42MXLx5E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
