And for the lady, perhaps an arrow through thine enemy’s body? 📖: In the Name of Honor #booksky

“Give girl!” the Corruptor screeched, high and shrill. It didn’t seem possible, but its hide turned a deeper shade of black.
Kaleela raised her bow. “I’m not to be given.”
Before the Corruptor could move, it fell with an arrow in the center of its chest, shrieking as it hit the ground. The cry was answered with another, and then a multitude of unhinged screams up the path. Kaleela pulled back a new arrow, patiently waiting for a target.”

In the Name of Honor

Head over heels in love with this new artwork of Dimitar and Kaleela by Arandanity 💞🍂❤️‍🔥🍁 Read about them in this scene from our sequel, IN THE NAME OF PRIDE 💚🏹 collinsauthors.com/links

Art drawing of a couple kissing in a forest. She is half elven with long blonde hair and pale skin. She wears a cream colored chemise under a green dress. He has dark hair that reaches his shoulders, blown by a breeze. He wears a blue tunic. They’re embracing each other as they kiss, golden brown leaves cascading down around them. Artist is Arandanity.

My first three author blurbs for Child of the Dragon are live with more coming! Thank you to Jelena Dunato, @ericaroseeberhart.bsky.social and @collinsauthors.bsky.social!! do yourself a favor and go check out their books!!

A purple swirly background with a blue box with text that reads
Life is hard when you need to handle homework, teenage hormones and ancient dragon overlords trying to kill you, but Kat, a young dragon shapeshifter faces it bravely. Sheesley weaves an adventurous YA fantasy, skillfully combining everyday challenges of teenage life with dangerous mystery and powerful magic.

-Jelena Dunato, author of Dark Woods, Deep Water
beneath it is the cover for child of the dragon (A cover with fire on the left edges and ice on the right edges centering around a girl in shorts and a tank top, raising a sword high and summoning lightning in front of a massive purple-y european dragon inside some sort of arena. The title: Child of the Dragon is written across the center in a curly, silver font, and the author name is in a smaller version of the same and says Ashley N.Y. Sheesley) repeated on a tablet, smart phone, and paperback. beneath it it reads "available to preorder!"

An orange swirly background with a transparent box in the center with text that reads:
A fast-paced adventure where family secrets are exposed, a whole world emerges, and friendships are tested. The representation of disabled and queer characters is refreshing and powerful, the dialogue is fresh and believable, and the plot will keep readers hooked from start to finish. This debut promises to entertain fantasy readers and YA fans alike.

-Erica Rose Eberhart, author of The Elder Tree Trilogy

A blue smoky background with a large piece of torn paper across the center and text that reads: Equal parts perilous and tender, CHILD OF THE DRAGON unfolds with compelling human—and dragon—stakes, pieced together with all the elements you'd want in a fantasy story: rising magic, the power of friendship, and delightful humor. An evil king, shapeshifting dragons, and high school calculus offer readers adventure at a page-turning pace. Grief, growth, and legacy are interwoven among both the fantastical and a diverse cast sure to win your heart. This story is a comfort read for everyone who ever wanted to spread their wings and fly.
