Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Owl’s Nest Publishers!

“Beyond the people who make Owl’s Nest—and who make Owl’s Nest possible—though, I find myself perpetually thankful for good stories themselves. It’s one of the many reasons I wanted to start this publishing house: The driving desire to bring more stories into the world for young people. Stories that catch them, hold onto them, and make them long for more goodness beyond themselves. When a story does all these things, and does them well, we might indeed call it good.” CEO Karin Hoyle .author shares a Thanksgiving reflection at Notes from the Nest today.

“I really enjoyed this fairy tale retelling! Because it was based on a lesser known fairy tale from Russia, I didn’t know exactly how the plot would go. It was fun to go along for the ride. It was beautifully told and immersed me in the fantasy world of the Malachite Queen.” —Goodreads Review

Order today from OwlsNestPublishers.com, from your local bookstore, or your favorite online bookseller. Just $2.99 on Kindle!
