This week's excerpt comes from The Rightful King, book 2 of the Fate Of The Crown Duology which follows Arthur after Lancelot and Gwen have officially become an item. Writing his friendship with Lancelot was one of my favourite parts!  *** Copyright 2020 Laura Greenwood  *** "You seem extra bright tonight," Lancelot observes, amusement clear in his voice. He's leaning against the wall just down the corridor from Gwen's room while we wait for the girls to meet us so we can go to the ball. We're the only ones waiting, so I suspect most people are already in the ballroom. Or they're even more behind at getting ready than Gwen is, which says something. "And you weren't when you could take Gwen to the first ball after you were allowed to court openly?" "It wasn't a criticism," he promises. "Though when did things get so serious with Dindrane? I didn't even realise the two of you spoke much." I shift uncomfortably, not s...

  Astrid has known for years about her prophecy, and when her parents send her to the prestigious Grimm Academy, she hopes she might finally be able to put it behind her.  Despite her parents' insistence that she comes away with a noble suitor, she can't help but find herself drawn to Conan, a scholarship student with a prophecy of his own he's trying to avoid.  When the Bellpoint Castle competition to find an heir comes along, she finally feels as if she might have found a solution to her problems. If she wins, she'll be a princess, and able to choose her own suitor. If she loses, then she could fall prey to her prophecy and lose it all.  -  Princess Of Petals is a fantasy academy romance inspired by the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale.

This week's excerpt comes from Tower of Thorns, the first book in the Once Upon An Academy series (which is also free!) It's a fantasy fairy tale retelling of Rapunzel and crosses over with Grimm Academy!  *** Copyright 2020 Laura Greenwood  *** "Hi," a male voice says from behind me. I spin around, my long plait swinging around in the process. I need to be more careful, doing that pulls at the base of my scalp. I should cut it, but I don't want to. Despite my prophecy, I like my hair long. My heart skips a beat as I take in the boy in front of me. He's my age, or potentially a year older than me, with broad shoulders and kind eyes. "Hello," I respond, hoping I've understood it right and he is talking to me. If he isn't, then I'm not sure what I'll do. "You're new here, right?" I nod. "I'm Gavin." He gives me a small bow and holds out his hand. I glance at it, wondering if I should take it. Mother won't...

This week's teaser is from Pumpkins and Proms, book 2 of the Grimm Academy series (it can be read as a standalone!) *** Copyright 2020 Laura Greenwood *** To our dismay, the dancing instructor takes it upon himself to pair us up rather than letting us sort it out ourselves. I could tell him it's a bad idea, but I'm sure he'll discover that on his own in time. "Cinderella, this is Florian," he introduces us. I recognise the boy he's brought with him as the captain of the wrestling team. I'm not sure why they have a captain when they never compete against anyone. Florian sticks out his hand instantly. I raise an eyebrow, that's unusual, but at least he wants to be polite. "Most people call me Ella," I supply as I take his hand in mine and give it a soft shake. "Ella," he repeats in his surprisingly smooth voice. The instructor doesn't waste another moment and walks off to deal with the next couple. This is such a waste of time...

Welcome to Grimm Academy, where the students are fairy tale characters and they're trying to avoid their prophecies - including Princess Briar, heir presumptive to a powerful kingdom - who wants to change her father's mind. Read on for an excerpt! ~~~~ Copyright 2020 Laura Greenwood ~~~~ "May I sit here?" a male voice asks. I open my eyes and look up at the tall boy standing in front of me. Except that boy doesn't do him justice. He's on the cusp of manhood, with dark curly hair, and kind eyes. "Of course," I say, a little flustered. Why haven't I prepared myself for situations like this? There's no way of avoiding them with all the shared space at the academy. But I'm used to being the only person my age around. The nobles bring their children to Court sometimes, but they never want to spend any time with me. I suspect they're all a little intimidated by the title and what it means to be a princess. "I haven't seen you aroun...

Helena's story has been a lot of fun to work on, especially as she and her love interest have known and loved each other for a long time already (but haven't seen each other very often. One of the fun things about writing romance is discovering the different paths characters take to love! Read on for a teaser! *** Copyright 2022 Laura Greenwood *** Two years ago... No one is paying any attention to me and Wilhelm. The celebrations for the start of a new year are well underway. My parents are busy doing their part as the monarchs hosting the party, and Wilhelm's mother is spending all of her time with a duchess she's friends with. Which is fine by me. Anything that means I get to spend some actual time with Wilhelm. "Do you want to go outside?" he asks. "I swiped us this." He lifts up a bottle of wine. I raise an eyebrow. "You could have just asked one of the servants for it," I point out. "Where's the fun in that?" A lopsided ...

Have you checked out my complete Arthurian retelling duology? Writing about Arthur, Gwen, and Lancelot was so much fun! Read on for a teaser - there's no waiting, the series is complete! *** Copyright 2020 Laura Greenwood *** "His Highness, Prince Arthur Pendragon, and the Lady Guinevere Olwen," he calls. I plaster a smile over my face, hoping it looks as serene and composed as I think it does. I don't have to do this, I'm here with Arthur and we'll have a good time regardless of the lack of romantic feelings I have for him. But sometimes, I like to practice the things I may have to do if I become his Queen. Smiling politely ranks right up there as the kind of activity expected of me. Students crowd in every available space, at least the ones not being used for dancing anyway, with a notable queue around what I assume is the drinks table. Someone waves in our direction. "Ah, Galahad must want me. I'll be back in a moment." Arthur disappears befor...
