"Never marry a stranger...even if he is a drop-dead gorgeous immortal king.
Never pretend to be a princess.
And most importantly...never slip on an ancient wedding ring you know nothing about.
Sarah Larker returns to a cave where her sister disappeared ten years earlier. She walks through a portal and is mistaken for a runaway princess on the run by a dangerous immortal king in medieval times. Her plan is bold as well as daring—become this princess, wed the king, and slip on an ancient wedding ring that will unlock the portal back home. Then find her sister and run as fast as she can out of Dodge. But taking on the identity of Princess Gloria comes along with dangerous consequences; and slipping on the ruby ring comes with an even higher price."

Miss Chrissy Peebles~Our Famous Author:
Chrissy Peebles, a practicing nurse, has always loved reading and writing fantasy from the earliest age she can remember. She plotted every single twist she could think of during bedtime stories for her children. When her little ones begged for more adventures, she felt confident enough to let her overeager imagination and sense of humor spill out into her first novel. She lives in Ohio with her husband, two young kids, one hamster, three dwarf hamsters and cat. When she's not taking the kids to Little League soccer, basketball, or baseball, she loves to snap photos as her favorite hobby.

2) You chose a specific genre, a place and time to write about, what made you choose it?
Fantasy is my favorite genre to write because I've always had a vivid imagination. I love it so much because I can weave or spin any storyline I want, create my own fantasy world and characters, and let my imagination spill over. There’s nothing more fun than that! And I love putting modern day people in extraordinary circumstances.
3) Bronte or Austen?
Wow, those are two names of my favorite 19th century "chick lit" gals. Jane Austen’s book are full of wit and humor. I love how sweet they are but then again, I love Bronte’s tortured and tragic passion. So I think it comes down to Austen = humor and Bronte = passion. I’m going to go with fancy dresses and that dashing Mr. Darcy.
4) Hemingway or Hawthorne?
I think it’d have to be Hemingway because I loved his unique prose style. He could take a simple story and make it so deep and complex.
5) In your opinion, what makes a book a great one?
It doesn’t matter what genre you are reading. There’s only one thing that matters…the story needs to grab you by page one and never let go.
6) Which author(s) most influenced your love of books from childhood?
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. I just loved them so much!
7) Read any good books in the past 6 months?
I read a fantastic book called Tempest by Julie Cross. Highly recommended! I also finished another awesome book just the other day called, Airel (The Airel Saga, Book 1) by Aaron Patterson and Chris White. It’s so witty and well written with such a unique plot. I LOVED it!
8) Choose 4 guests from any era for dinner. Who would they be and what would you choose for a topic of conversation?
1. William Wallace. He was a Scottish knight who led a resistance to the English military occupation of Scotland during significant periods of the Wars of Scottish Independence
4. Plato. I’d ask him if Atlantis really existed?
What would the topic of conversation be? We’d discuss who we’d think should win the next American Idol. And what do they think of the judges this year? LOL Quite an entertaining dinner party! :] Good thing Simon's not judging this year, they'd all probably have a lot to say about him!!
9) Which of your characters is most like you?
Probably Casey in Agartha’s Castaway. I fell for my best friend too. He was hot!
For my readers who aren't familiar, "Agratha's Castaway" is about a group of YA's who
take a vacation only to be swept up onto an island of another world filled with dinos,
UFO's and other oddities!! Chrissy has a 2nd book in that series that's just come out!
10) Worst habit you have?
Drinking too much caffeine. Seriously? How boring, Chrissy!!! :P
11) How much research did you do before and during writing?
I’m always looking up facts. However, I write fantasy so I can make up whatever I want.
: ) (Just kidding)
12) Tell us a secret about your book we wouldn’t otherwise know, please!
Eternal Vows was started in Nov. 2010 as a NaNoWriMo project. Nov. 1st came and I just
started writing. I didn’t worry about quality. Just quantity. I then spent the next six
months cleaning it up and editing the heck out of it. And then wrote book 2.
Sometimes the best things come when we aren't thinking too much about it, they say!

Now The Dame Will Have Her Say:Chrissy Peebles's books are irrepressibly fun to read. Honestly, I sank back in my chair and just let the story take me away for the afternoon; and, then I wanted more. These are ebooks that you can have at the touch of a finger, and that makes them as easy as picking up a piece of chocolate, which is how they're going to feel as soon as you start reading the first one in this Ruby Ring series, "Eternal Vows."
