Are You Looking for Your Next Portal Fantasy Series?
THE LOCKET- AWARD WINNING NOVEL BY K.S.Brixey
The Locket- Tales from Avenrand book one won Third Place at the Fall 2025 BookFest in the Women’s Fiction Fantasy category. If you like crossover between adult women’s issues and portal fantasy and magic, you will find it here.
The Locket’s new cover design won Second Place at the Fall 2025 BookFest. I am so excited to see this silver medal awarded to the new cover. I still have copies of the old cover which will go on sale for $5 each in December at the Christmas Market. No worries if you bought the old cover, it still compliments the additional books in the series well. However, I will be offering a discount to readers wanting to purchase the complete series who have copies of the original covers. More on that in 2026.
