My Young Adult Book Series ~ Free Giveaway!
Hello Tumblr!
I'm an author of a YA fantasy book series called The Rags and Riches series. 2/4 books are out, and I'm hard at work on the third.
The book series follows 16-year-old Rose King as she is magically transported to a world with demons, vampires, and a terrifying monster that lurks in the shadows. Once there, she can't find her way home, and falls in with a group of teenagers who are just trying to survive.
This book series is my passion project. I love working on it and want to promote it as much as possible.
If you are interested, here is a link to a you tube video of me reading the first chapter.
I would like to do a free give away of The Rose Petal and the sequel Broken Time. To save myself time and money, I will be sending the books directly to you, so these copies won't be signed.

Reblog this post so that it can reach more people
Comment that you want a copy
I will pick a winner and contact them on September 9th, 2023. Please do not send me your mailing address unless I contact you asking for it. This is my only writing blog and I will not contact you with any other username.

End of the Year Give Away!
Do you need gifts for the upcoming holiday season? I have the perfect gift for anyone who likes to read YA Fantasy.
My book The Rose Petal is the first book in a 4 book YA fantasy series, the start of an epic adventure following 16-year-old Rose as she struggles to find herself and her magical power.
Rose lives in a world with magic. Spells. Vampires. Witches. All of this is normal, but she lacks magic ability of her own. She feels lost until one day she falls into another world not unlike her own, except for one glaring dark difference.
The Drainer...and he is coming for her.
If this piques your interest, here is a video of me reading the first chapter.
The second book is also out: Broken Time sold anywhere online, just like the first book. I can’t include a synopsis without giving spoilers.
I want to do a free give away for the end of the year. If you’re interested in my first book or want to get it for someone, here are the instructions:
1. Follow me
2. Reblog this post so it can reach more people
3. Comment “I want a copy” in the notes
This give-away will go from today (10/15/22) until October 31st. I will announce a winner on November 1st, 2022. If you are the winner, I will message you and ask for a mailing address. For your own safety, please wait for me to message you. Please have it so other bloggers can message you - not just mutuals!
To save myself time and money, I will buy a copy from an online store and send it directly to the winner. That being said, it won’t be signed.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!
C. Casarico.

My Books Series// Read the First two installments!
September 2022
I’m a self-published author currently writing a fantasy series that will be four books long at its conclusion. It’s a YA series with a feisty female protagonist. Book I: The Rose Petal and Book II: Broken Time are already out, and I’m hard at work on book III. I make small goals for myself each month to get the word count higher and higher.
Here is a You Tube video of me reading Chapter 1 of book 1.
These stories mean everything to me, and I self-published because I wanted to have complete control over the creative process. I might traditionally publish in the future, but for now I love being hands on and in my own little bubble.
Both novels can be purchased everywhere online: Barnes and noble, Amazon, Waterstones, Pheonix Books, the list goes on.
I’m excited to see where my writing journey is taking me!
Thanks for reading,
C. Casarico

February 2022 Self Promotion
This month I turn 27! It was on my birthday 3 years ago that my first book The Rose Petal was published and available to the public everywhere online: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, anywhere you buy books!
The Rags and Riches novels is a YA fantasy series that will ultimately have 5 book. I’m in the middle of writing the third book at the moment.
Here is a video of me reading the first chapter
Broken Time, the sequel, is also available online. If you prefer to shop locally, your local bookstore will be able to order The Rose Petal and have it shipped to you, or to the store where you can purchase it. Both novels are under my pen name: C. Casarico (although, strange fun fact, it’s easier to search for Broken Time if you search my full name, “Broken Time by Corinne M Casarico”. I don’t know why and I don’t know how to fix that)

Newsletter ~ July 2021
I’ve decided to start a newsletter about my writing and the progress of my writing projects. If you’re interesting in getting monthly progress reports on my work, book recommendations, and how I’m doing in life in general, send me a message with your email, and say that you’d like to be added to the email list. Your email won’t be shared with anyone else.
Each month I will put an abbreviated version here on tumblr, and since this month is my first time trying it out, I’ll just lay it all out here.
I’m currently working on the third book in a YA (young adult) fantasy series. Book One: The Rose Petal and Book 2: Broken Time under my pen name C. Casarico is available everywhere books are sold online.
As far as the third book, I’m hard at work on it. I just reached 4,000 words, aka 16 pages. I’m still building the bones of the novel, which is arguably my favorite part. I’ve been bitten by the writing bug, and I’m not stopping any time soon! I have a few days off coming up and plan to use that as a “writing retreat”. My goal is to get at least 5,000-6,000 words more added to the story before getting back to my day job on Saturday morning.
A temporary title has been decided! I was brainstorming last night and came up with what I think is a perfect brain child of a title, but I’ll keep it a secret until close to the release date.
Another project I’m working on is my adult thriller. The title is undecided and I haven’t written in it since before I went on vacation. It’s been on the back burner because I’m not good at doing 2 projects at once. My goal there is to get at least 1,000 words written before Saturday.
Moving the spotlight away from me, a professor I had in college wrote a book! Quiet Room: Psychotherapy with Ghosts by Joseph S Covais is the first in a trilogy. Female Academy the second book will be released February of 2022!
The books I’m currently reading are: The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian, Silence in the Woods by J.P. Choquette and The Sacrifice by Charlie Higson.

Nanowrimo: Book & Products
Happy Thanksgiving! Please be safe and celebrate responsibly in this time of the COVID19 Pandemic.
This month has been a very slow, casual writing month for me. My current project is (at my last count) at 2,324 words. It is a very new and exciting project for me. I’ve never written anything else like it before, and I’m excited about its prospects.
My second book in the Rags and Riches series will be out soon! I know, I’ve used that sentence to death, but small little things keep cropping up and causing problems, delaying the release date. The first book in the series, The Rose Petal under my pen name C. Casarico, is available online everywhere: Barnes and Noble, Amazon and more!
My talented cousin worked on some character art for me, which is now on redbubble! The character Alice from my books is available in many products such as pins, bags, stickers and more! Do you want a limited holographic version of the sticker? Message me and I will send you one with a personalized card!

My Upcoming Novel
I’m working very hard on the edits for my upcoming novel - but I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone of my first book: The Rose Petal, published under my pen name C. Casarico.
Rose, a 16 year old girl is growing up in a world of magic, with no magic ability of her own. She is frustrated and fed up until one day, she lands in a different world, and discovers she has the power to travel between worlds! This new power comes with a price: she has no way of getting back home. This world is dangerous. She travels with a team of nomadic teenagers who are on the run from a powerful demon - the Drainer, who drags victims to his palace, and they are never seen again.
My second book Broken Time is the sequel to The Rose Petal, which will be a five book series. You need to read the first book in order for the sequel to make sense. The Rose Petal is sold everywhere online: Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Phoenix Books, and more! The sequel is coming soon.
Below is one of my favorite quotes from Broken Time. Spoiler Warning if you haven’t read the first book!
The sun was filtering through the trees, lighting up the leaves with a warm glow. The trees looked healthy and strong here. Even when the Drainer was alive, the woods had always been a strong place for magic. His powers had concentrated were there’d been a strong presence of human life, draining these places of power and energy, but the woods were more for wild creatures and fairy folk. Occasionally different pairs of eyes stared at us as we walked, quick to disappear into the brush when I saw them. - Broken Time, Chapter 3
