Synopsis

Spellbound Heiress could be read as a standalone, but it is also a Duology (Woken Soul) starter.

Ticia is unaware she is destined to magical greatness. Unfortunately, the day she realizes it might be a day too late...

Forbidden to use her tribe’s magic, twenty-seven-year-old Ticia Mensalli focuses on her academic work and finding the forever-elusive perfect husband. However, when the Face of the Wind appears and speaks to her, Ticia ventures on an alternative path and starts using her inherited powers in secret.

That is the time her initial wishes come true, and the charming Harik Gueeb comes knocking at her family’s Moroccan mansion with the blessing of an uncle renowned for divining people’s future. Under pressure from her Moroccan family and society, she is quickly persuaded into an engagement. After all, Harik is everything a suitor should be, and marriage is her lifetime dream.

Soon, Ticia realizes her mistake. As the cracks begin to appear in Harik’s façade, she travels to Spain where the mysterious and handsome Christoph Divitiac appears in her dreams, demanding her help. Enamored by his appearance, Ticia travels to his home in Trapani, Sicily, when he insists she can free him from a spell that has kept him trapped there.

Ticia is soon plunged into a world of ancient druids, dangerous spirits, and secretive councils where the darkest secrets seem somehow to involve her at the center.

This novel describes the author's Moroccan culture and mixes mysticism with reality to show that every single one of us has a purpose in life. We should never give up until we find it. Sometimes, who we want to be is not who we are meant to be, and it is all right. Changing our mindset is sometimes the key to happiness and serenity.

Brandylane Publishers, Inc.

Looking for titles that teach, promote, and encourage understanding, tolerance, peace, environmental preservation, health, and wellness.

Brandylane is a small, independent press, founded in 1985, that publishes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir, and children’s books. We publish under a traditional arrangement and also offer a cooperative track for emerging authors. We believe that books make a difference, that lives and the world are changed by the power of words and images, and that large publishing houses neglect a wealth of good writing. We are not looking for mainstream read-it-before self-help.

Under our cooperative arrangement, we invest a portion of the publishing costs and offer a stepped royalty structure from 30% to 60%--higher than the industry average. One distinguishing feature of our program is that our marketing effort includes a one-year launch, followed by two additional years of promotion through our social media, website, our seasonal genre, and subject matter email campaigns, and continuous support from our PR team.

Cranthorpe Millner

250 copies • Partial manuscript.
Cranthorpe Millner operates a hybrid publishing model. This means, should an author pass our editors’ strict filtering system, we can offer different kinds of agreements depending on the author and the manuscript. With some authors, we work under a ‘traditional’ model, whereby we cover the full cost of publication and the author is offered industry-standard royalties (8-10%). To some authors, we offer what we call a partnership or contributory agreement, whereby the author is asked for a financial contribution so that we may share the risk and enter into a partnership together to publish the author’s book. In this case, the author receives around 60-75% royalties.

1106 Design, LLC

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
