Tour Stop: Flock by Wendy Delsol!

Hey guys! Today I'm super excited to present Flock by Wendy Delsol, a retelling of the classic tale, "The Snow Queen". Hope you enjoy!

About the Author:

Here’s the big confession (besides the fact that I’m not a natural blond): I didn’t start writing until I was—gasp—forty. A health scare (years of “migraine-esque” headaches that have never truly been diagnosed) spurred me to chase a long-secret dream. I’d always been fascinated by story, movies included, but circumstances necessitated a more steady source of income in my twenties and early thirties. When my youngest son slumped off for a full day of school, I began a book. That first effort was awful, but I was fueled by the process. I would write two more practice novels and take writing courses via the UCLA Writers’ Extension Program and the University of Iowa Summer Writing Festival before selling a manuscript. I contend now that I have a perfect-storm background for this career: a strong work ethic learned growing up in the hard-scrabble ‘burbs of Detroit followed by twenty years in creatively fueled L.A. I currently reside in the Des Moines area.

When not writing, I’m busy raising two boys (ages 15 and 17), and I play as much tennis as my schedule and overused right arm will allow.

About Flock:

The climactic conclusion of a supernatural romantic trilogy starring a savvy, sharp-tongued heroine who taps into ancient Norse secrets.

After surviving her (shall we say) intense adventure in Iceland, Katla is psyched to be back for a blissfully uneventful senior year of homecoming and fashion explorations. But her hopes of dodging unfinished business are dashed by the arrival of two Icelandic exchange students: Marik, an oddly alluring merman-in-disguise, and Jinky, a tough gypsy girl. It seems Katla not only enraged the Snow Queen by rescuing her boyfriend, Jack, she also was tricked into promising her frail baby sister to the water queen — and Marik has come to collect. What’s worse, Katla doesn’t dare confide in anyone lest she endanger them, so even her soul mate, Jack, is growing suspicious. And now Katla’s stork dreams, her guide for matching babies with mothers, have become strange and menacing as well. Hold on for a thrilling finale as the heroine of Stork and Frost calls on her wits (and her wit) to protect those she loves and face a final mythic disaster.

Family secrets. Lost memories. And the arrival of an ancient magical ability that will reveal everything.

Sixteen-year-old Katla LeBlanc has just moved from Los Angeles to Minnesota. As if it weren’t enough that her trendy fashion sense draws stares, Katla soon finds out that she’s a Stork, a member of a mysterious order of women tasked with a very unique duty. But Katla’s biggest challenge may be finding her flock at a new school. Between being ignored by Wade, the arrogant jock she stupidly fooled around with, and constantly arguing with gorgeous farm boy and editor-in-chief Jack, Katla is relieved when her assignment as the school paper’s fashion columnist brings with it some much-needed friendship. But as Homecoming approaches, Katla uncovers a shocking secret about her past — a secret that binds her fate to Jack’s in a way neither could have ever anticipated. With a nod to Hans Christian Andersen and inspired by Norse lore, Wendy Delsol’s debut novel introduces a hip and witty heroine who finds herself tail-feathers deep in small-town life.


In this sequel to STORK, Katla Leblanc has to employ her grit, spirit, and special gifts to rescue the boy she loves.

After the drama of finding out that she's a Stork, a member of an ancient and mystical order of women, and that her boyfriend, Jack, is a descendent of the Winter People able to control the weather, Katla Leblanc is delighted when all signs point to a busy and peaceful Christmas. That is, until the snowstorm Jack summons as a gift to Katla turns into the storm of the century, attracting Brigid, a gorgeous scientist who, in turn, attracts Jack. Between the school play, a bedridden, pregnant mother's to-do lists, and keeping an eye on her aging grandfather, Katla doesn't have time to question Brigid's motives or deal with Jack's increasingly cold behavior. But Katla's suspicions mount when Jack joins Brigid on a research expedition to Greenland, and when the two of them go missing, it becomes clear that Katla is the only one who can save her beloved Jack from the Snow Queen who holds him prisoner. Adventure, romance, and myth combine in this winter escapade for teens who like a bit of fire with their ice.

Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, I was unable to read & review Flock. However, I have read Stork (and have enjoyed it), so I definitely recommend this series!
