Sir Princess Petra Coloring Contest Winners

The Sir Princess Coloring Contest announces the winners! There were many entries from Canada, Australia, the U.S., including Hawaii.

The judges had a hard job deciding on the winners, and I don't blame them. Many spectacular coloring entries were received! So, we decided to add an honorable mention category in the kid's category. There are five honorable mentions, and they will receive a Sir Princess Petra mouse pad.

Drum roll, please . . .

Possible Cover

My next book The Dragon Grammar book will be delayed in publication due to my current publisher ceasing operations. The book was in the final-proof layout stage with them at the time. I’m looking into new options for publishing the book, one option is self-publishing it. More on this later.

 I wouldn’t have the confidence to even try self-publishing if it weren’t for a fabulous course I’m taking from my writing guru friend, Alinka Rutkowska. The course is a wealth of information about all things self-publishing authors need to know. I highly recommend this course which has several free lessons to start http://authorremake.com/?ref=11&ref=11  Alinka is an award-winning, best selling author and really knows her stuff. You can also get her free marketing book here http://authorremake.com/book/?=ref11

For 2017, I have two other books in mind to self-publish, and those are in the works now.

New Book Release With Prizes

Great prizes to be won in multiple events. Introducing Sir Princess Petra's Mission, book three in the multi-award winning fantasy/adventure The Pen Pieyu Adventures series.

Sir Princess Petra has already attained her Knighthood  in the Kingdom of Pen Pieyu and her non-princess-like Talent Certificate from Talent School, neither of which pleases her father, the king.

The king writes up more silly rules in the royal rule book to deter Sir Princess Petra from her knightly ways and useless talent , and turn her into a real princess once and for all.

Will the king finally succeed with this newly written, ridiculous  mission for Petra?

Endorsement for Sir Princess Petra's Mission:  "Diane M. Robinson has created a heroine unlike any other in children’s literature. Sir Princess Petra sets a fine example for young readers, and for young girls, as the Princess teaches them what’s really important, like friends, being true, brave, honest, and always having faith in your Dragon! Ms. Robinson sets the bar by writing a truly charming and imaginative adventure series and I heartily recommend it."

Jeanne E. Rogers, Author of the award winning middle grade fantasy, The Sword of Demelza.
