Favorite Disney bad ass

Mulan. Always Mulan.

And while I grew up with original Disney movies, she's my favorite. It's the humor, storyline, and action. Eddie Murphy as Mushu doesn't hurt.

I set out to write "Warrior and the Sparrow" with a tip of my hat to old school romance books. You know, the bodice rippers. Circa Johanna Lindsey, Jude Deveraux, and Kathleen Woodiwiss. I grew up reading these fantastic stories with titles such as: Twin of Ice, Twin of Fire, The Flame and the Flower, and The Wolf and the Dove.

(Fun note: I wanted the title to be "The Warrior and the Sparrow", but the acronym would have been "twats", and I simply couldn't have that. 🤭)

I set out to have a regular heroine and a dynamic hero. But in the midst of the story, our regular heroine turns into the dynamic hero. Reluctant in the beginning, she turns into a brilliant hero with consequences and repercussions. A real look at what being a hero costs. And what is she willing to pay?

This was a title I received the rights back to, and I'm going through it again, even though it's been professionally edited. I plan to release the title in January to kick off my magnificent 2027 publishing year. 

"Warrior and the Sparrow"

A powerful warrior destined from birth for a dangerous quest. A world ravaged by an evil presence that will stop at nothing short of complete domination. One woman who will give everything she is or will ever be.

****

It's fantasy romance, romantasy, or romance fantasy. However which you prefer. I'll probably market as romantasy, as it fits the profile.

After I comb through it, I'll put up for preorder on the 'zon.

THIS is my Mulan. My warrior. My definition of bad ass. 

You best fucking believe it.
