I was working on my next project as soon as DAUGHTER OF THE PIRATE KING released. In some ways, however, being a writer was exactly the same.

I loved being able to connect with readers directly, instead of solely over the internet. The book community as a whole is very welcoming and fun.ĭoing book events was a new experience. I’ve loved getting to know so many bloggers, Instagrammers, and YouTubers. It was unreal having complete strangers read my work for the first time, and it was even more surreal when they wanted to discuss themes and topics that I hold dear. What better day than today to invite her back to the blog to tell us what’s she’s been up to over the last year, and what’s on the horizon!īeing a debut author was, in a word, magical. I’m so excited to welcome Tricia Levenseller to the blog today as part of the official blog tour for her sophomore novel, Daughter of the Siren Queen! Tricia’s debut novel, Daughter of the Pirate King, came out exactly one year ago today on February 28, 2017. Joined by a distractingly handsome mercenary and a young scholar with extensive knowledge of the world’s known magics, Ziva and her sister set out on a quest to keep the sword safe until they can find a worthy wielder or a way to destroy it entirely.Keeping Up With the Debuts is an original That Artsy Reader Girl feature, where I bring back former debut authors and give them the opportunity to talk about what they learned from their debut novel and what’s next for them! When Ziva learns of the warlord’s intentions to use the weapon to enslave all the world under her rule, she takes her sister and flees.

A sword with the strength to topple kingdoms. A sword that can cut far deeper than the length of its blade. Then Ziva receives a commission from a powerful warlord, and the result is a sword capable of stealing its victims secrets. She spends her days tucked away in her forge, safe from society and the anxiety it causes her, using her magical gift to craft unique weapons imbued with power. In Blade of Secrets, the first book in Tricia Levenseller's exciting new YA fantasy duology, a teenage blacksmith with social anxiety is forced to go on the run to protect the world from the most powerful magical sword she's ever made.Įighteen-year-old Ziva prefers metal to people.
