My newest book, THE OTHER MERLIN, is out today!
It's heeerrrreeee! THE OTHER MERLIN is out today! I'm officially the author of a queer, feminist, fantasy rom-com!
Channeling the modern humor of A Knight's Tale, bestselling author Robyn Schneider creates a Camelot that becomes the ultimate teen rom-com hotspot in this snarky, hilarious, romantic take on the classic legend.
★ “Schneider’s first foray into fantasy, a clever trilogy starter based in the King Arthur mythos, changes most of the canonical facts but gets everything that matters right in this funny, sharp, romantic, magic-filled book. A highly satisfying, renegade reboot.”
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Charming and sharply hilarious"
-Buzzfeed
"An epic series of true Arthurian romance"
-Booklist
I am so proud of this book, and I can't wait for you to read it. Here's the Goodreads Link, so you can add it: The Other Merlin
If you haven't already purchased a copy, or reserved one from your local library, you can now officially buy one in any bookstore, or from online retailers. I'm dropping a link to the book's landing page to make it easy: http://bit.ly/theothermerlinlinks
The landing page also has info on my virtual tour events (I would love to see you!), two are completely free to attend with advance registration, one --a writing workshop!--requires a book purchase from the host store, and one is a pop up IG Live that you'll have to catch in order to watch. All have special guests!
QUICK FAQ

Yes, this book has LGBTQ rep! The protagonist is bi.

What's the spice level/rating?
