Subscribe To My Ko-Fi

Ever since I started a Ko-Fi shop back in October last year, I have been blown away by the support that I’ve received from fans. My readers are just incredible and I wanted to find a way to give back to them.

I’ve opened my Ko-Fi page to accept subscriptions. This means that I can post content there exclusively for my subscribers. For a small monthly donation, subscribers get a slew of perks:

What you get as a monthly supporter on my Ko-Fi page: ko-fi.com/marlenafrank: Thank you in my Book acknowledgements, Monthly shout out on social media, Chapter sneak peeks, Progress updates on my upcoming releases, A free signed paperback after 6th month of patronage

For all of my books going forward, my Ko-Fi subscribers will get a thank you in my book acknowledgements. This will include both my print and ebook editions. They will also get a monthly shout-out on social media as a thank you.

Chapter sneak peeks will be given out months before they are available anywhere else, including my mailing list or my Facebook group. This includes my upcoming Wolves of Kanta series and my Impostor collection.

Subscribers also get access to my work behind-the-scenes, from incomplete cover art, to formatting my books for print, to struggles I run into with being a hybrid author, to trying to wrangle edits. If you want to see what goes into my books, this is where I’ll share the process.

Also, after being a subscriber for six months, I’ll sign and ship a paperback of your choice.

The minimum cost of subscribing is only $3/month, which is about the cost of a coffee (or a tea for me).

I hope this will be a fun way to let my fans be part of my books and help motivate me in my author career. You’ll get to join me as I stumble my way through self-publishing several upcoming books and ask any questions along the way.

If you can’t subscribe, you can still follow my Ko-Fi page for any public updates I make about book releases and items that get added to the shop.

A big thank you to my readers and fans who have supported me through this crazy year we’ve had! I look forward to where we go next. 🙂

Happy Release Day to Chosen

This is it. The final book in the Stolen trilogy!

It’s a strange feeling to finish a series, to write THE END and mean it for more than a single book, but to characters you’ve gotten to know for almost a decade. But it’s so rewarding!

When I first wrote Stolen, I feared nobody would ever read it. They would never read the banter between Teagan and Shaleigh, or the friendship between Mawr and Colin. They would never see the fire dragon Tanwen or explore the Bloody Forest and the bloodthirsty Pello Pines there. But that isn’t what happened.

I’m always going to be grateful to Parliament House Press for taking a chance on my YA portal fantasy series with its mysterious faeries and fantastic creatures from Living Statues to Minotaurs. I’ve learned so much compared to where I started!

Today both Stolen and Broken are discounted too, so it’s a great time to dive into an immersive world!

New Merch Available!

I’m thrilled to share that I now have new merchandise available for the Stolen series!

In celebration of the final book, Chosen, releasing on Tuesday, I’ve commissioned some beautiful artwork from @the_letterrographer on Instagram. He did such amazing work with these quotes that I’m absolutely blown away!

Separate they were strong but together they were unstoppable.
We aren’t what people think we are.

And while I was getting these designs uploaded and aligned on Redbubble, I figured why not add in my sister’s (Morbid Smile Art) incredible artwork featuring Mawr and Shaleigh? Previously this was only available as a print on my site, but now it’s available on a wide variety of items on Redbubble. This throw is probably my favorite of the bunch, and I may just have to order one for myself!
