** Winner of the 2014 Wattys Instant Addiction Award ** Book 1 of the SEIZE THE DAY series In a world of magic and chaos, seventeen-year-old Lannie Brackenbury has only ever wanted to be alone in Aria. Two years after her mother's death, Lannie has finally found a place in the world where she can live peacefully. But when she is forced to tutor at Aria's castle and encounters the infuriating Prince Titus, her life takes a turn for the worse. Unwillingly forced into a realm of pompous Royals and unpredictable magic, Lannie must survive murderous naiads, man-eating water horses, and the antics of a prince who can't seem to leave her alone. But when Lannie discovers that someone is out to destroy the royal family, she must do everything in her power to uncover the truth before it's too late. Even if it means sacrificing all that she has ever known.

I have posted the first half of this book. The full version can be purchased in ebook or paperback formats on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple iBooks, etc. The adventures continue with double the sneezes, wrinkles, and slobber… I am not an ordinary pug. I have the wrinkles, smashed face, and curly tail of a pug, but the similarities stop there. Instead of sleeping or eating my days away, I prefer to gather acorns for my squirrel friend Squeaks, solve the mystery of the leaf pile, or hide bones throughout the house. Now I have a sister. Her name is Peach, and we tell our first adventures in this book. Meeting a giant mutant rabbit, hatching a plan to catch a pesky squirrel, and surviving a crab attack are some of our new adventures and antics. Kids and adults alike smile and laugh as they read about our adventures, and rumor has it that families are more likely to adopt a pug after reading any of my books. The world will be a better place with more wrinkles and curly tails in it! For more information on Zelda pug and her books, visit http://kristenotte.com/books/the-adventures-of-zelda-series/
