Hello fellow traveler, It was around this time exactly 7 years ago that I first began to dream of the world that became my faerie fantasy book The Rooted and the Winged. 💚 And now I am so happy to be able to say—it's released!! You can now buy the ebook and paperback on Amazon and Kobo. Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Rooted-Winged-Samantha-Curran/dp/B0F9VH5YZB Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-rooted-and-the-winged As I'm writing this email on the evening of June 30th, the ebook is still in preorder status on Amazon. Crossing my fingers that by the time you're reading this, Amazon will have made it live. It was rescheduled for July 1st. If you don't see it up yet, I'd check back later today. And you can buy the Special Edition hardcover with all the frills—sprayed edges, endpapers, full color art pages, and more, on my website shop here! So, I just tested this in a incognito tab because I did not believe it, but if you look up the category for Teen Fantasy & Magic ebooks on Kobo (here), and scroll past, you know, The Cruel Prince and Fearless from the Powerless trilogy, you'll find The Rooted and the Winged!! On the front page! Currently it's sitting right above The Hobbit. Like what!? I can't get over how surreal that is. Also! I wrote a whole new short story, "The Keeper of the Forest", that also released today. Just because I could, haha. It's a story of finding the courage to push through grief and grow despite the pain. It's set in the same world as The Rooted and the Winged. Also it features a talking baby raven. 🐦⬛ You can read it here: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Keeper-Forest-Samantha-Curran-ebook/dp/B0FDW53XG1 Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-keeper-of-the-forest Audible is unfortunately dragging its feet on reviewing the audiobook, so it's not out yet. I was so wanting to release it all together, so I'm bummed, but I'll let you know once it's out! I appreciate all of your support so much. I sincerely hope you enjoy your stay in the world of The Rooted and the Winged. Samantha |

Hello fellow traveler, The Rooted and the Winged is 9 days away from its official release date, July 1st! While researching Amazon categories today and double-checking my book files, I realized... I'm living a life that I had dreamed of desperately for so many years. Between the Kickstarter and the preorders that have come in so far, I've already sold over 350 books. Starting next month, I'll be shipping out copies to readers all across the world, from local readers to readers in the UK,...
Hello fellow traveler, We're in the final hours of the Kickstarter for the early release of my faerie fantasy book The Rooted and the Winged! It wraps up 24 hours now—on May 22nd at 10am EDT. If you miss it, I will have late pledges open tomorrow until about 7pm EDT, when I'll finally pull the plug and call this adventure to a close. We've funded almost $17,000 towards my little faerie book as I'm writing this email. Thank you so much for your support; I honestly didn't expect this much for...
Hello fellow traveler, Yesterday I took my copy of the special edition hardcover of The Rooted and the Winged to the woods by my home where my story was born. And it was so, so amazing to me to see it there beneath the trees, with green dappled light playing over the cover, looking completely at home. I am beyond thrilled to get this book into your hands. So you can take it to your local woods/nature areas if you like. If you do I would love to see a picture; it's amazing to me to think that...
