The Tour!
Mistress of the Windby Michelle Diener
New Adult/Sci-Fi Fantasy
Paperback, 342 pages
Expected publication: December 19th 2013
Bjorn needs to find a very special woman . . .
The fate of his people, and his own life, depends on it. But when he does find her, she is nothing like he imagined, and may just harbor more secrets than he does himself.
Astrid has never taken well to commands. No matter who issues them . . .
She's clashed her whole life with her father, and now her lover, the mysterious man who comes to her bedroom in darkness and disappears to guard his mountain by day as a bear, is finding it out the hard way. And when he's taken by his enemies, no one is prepared for Astrid's response.
It is never wise to anger the mistress of the wind . . .
A captivating and magical adult retelling of the fairy tale East of the Sun, West of the Moon.
Praise for Mistress of the Wind:
“Diener’s adaptation retains the familiar elements of the original, echoing both the structure and spirit of the classic, but true to form, she puts her own spin both the plot and the narrative, crafting an intricately alluring tale of self-sacrifice, steadfast devotion and enduring love.“ Flashlight Commentary
“The story is fast-paced and never boring, the world a beauty and Michelle’s writing so wonderfully detailed that I felt I was with Bjorn and Astrid on their journey.“ Book Bird Reviews
Author Michelle Diener takes this re-telling to another level. She doesn’t restrict herself to an East of the Sun, West of the moon retelling. Instead we are also given parts reminiscent of Psyche’s quest. Which just allowed for a much more richer story. Paperback Wonderland

1. What is your favorite book? There is literally no way I could choose one book as a favorite. Books have been an integral part of my life and different books have been my favorites at different times. It seems disrespectful to pick one as an absolute favorite :) 2. Where do you shop for books? What format? I shop for print books at Amazon, Book Depository and my local Dymocks bookstore, and for ebooks on Amazon. Because I live in Australia, I can't always get the books I want in ebook format, because the rights for electronic book sales to Australia haven't been enabled, so I probably buy more print books than ebooks, but that isn't by choice, it's by necessity. 3. Do you research your books, how? Recommendations by friends and review sites/book blogs of people whose taste in books I've come to learn is similar to my own. I also buy the books of writer friends of mine. I love supporting them, and am blessed with very talented friends. :) 4. What would you like my readers to know/? I've written historical fiction up until now, and Mistress of the Wind is my first fantasy novel. I love both genres, and think that the same world-building skills are necessary for both. Mistress of the Wind is based on the fairy tale East of the Sun, West of the Moon and is due for a December 19th release.
