At the Corner of Magnetic and Main, New Edition!!

At the Corner of Magnetic and Main was released in September of 2015 through my dear friends at Pen-L Publishing. This book is so close to my heart! It's different from my other titles and sometimes gets lost in the fuss over alien cats and genetically created tigran, but I'm still so proud of it. One of my goals for its 10 year anniversary was to bring this title under my own imprint at Serenity Mountain Publishing. Pen-L did it proud for a decade, but there's so much more promotion I can do if this book is under my wing. I got to this new edition a bit later than planned due to our cross-country move, but it's finally here. Celebrating Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and their ghostly traditions.





While the story remains the same, I did clean the text up a bit. I've learned a few writing things in the last decade! There's also a BONUS EPILOGUE at the end now. 

Huge thanks to Jaycee at Sweet 'N Spicy Designs for yet another fantastic cover design. 

And always piles of gratitude to Pen-L Publishing for originally having faith in this novel and putting it out into the world back in 2015.  

You can check out this 2nd Edition at Amazon, or you can now find it at other online stores


P.S. My second women's fiction novel is scheduled for the end of 2027, so Penny won't have to stand alone anymore.

Tigran Chronicles Series Complete (For Now)

One of the exciting things over the last year was the new cover design and addition of two books in the Tigran Chronicles series. While I loved the first cover, when I saw it in promotions with other science fiction books, it clearly didn't fit in well. With the talented help of Jaycee from Sweet 'N Spicy Designs, there's now a new cover for Book 1 and an adapted title to signify different books in the series.

Book 1 is now The Tigran Chronicles: The Gathering. There's a book containing three novellas that go with Book 1, taking place between the end of the story and the epilogue. And Book 2, The Tigran Chronicles: The Rescues, is now out in the world. 


You can find these books under the pen name M. W. Dendler, to separate them from my middle grade books. These tigran stories are definitely PG-13, and I hope the pen name clarifies that difference.

There may be another book in this series over time (I 100% left the ending open for that!), but for now I wait and see how these stories are received. Publishing is a business, so if you're enjoying the tigran tales, leave a review at your favorite store and/or let me know. If I'm going to write more about Taliya and Kano and Aliania and their adventures, I need to know that someone out there will read and enjoy them! 

While the links above are for Amazon, you can also find them online at other stores:

The Tigran Chronicles: The Gathering

The Tigran Novellas: 2176

The Tigran Chronicles: The Rescues


Happy Reading!
