DescriptionIn the gloomy mountains of Shadowvale, Ascot Abberdorf is expected to marry a somber Count and settle down to a quiet life terrorizing the villagers. Instead, she heads to the Kingdom of Albright with the family silverware, her faithful bat-winged cat, and a book of fairy tales that promises she can find True Love and Happily Ever After, if she only follows her heart. The queen has announced a competition for the hand of the prince, and armed with the stories in her fairy tale book, as well as a true-love-detecting magic ring she picks up along the way, Ascot is sure she’ll be able to win Prince Parvanel’s heart.
But when she arrives, nothing turns out quite like her book of stories promised. The prince is more interested in frogs than in the potential princesses, and there’s a guild of Godmothers whose motivations may not be so pure. Most annoying of all is the captain of the guard who swears he’ll see the moon fall before she weds Prince Parvanel. As the competition turns into a parade of shifty shenanigans, Ascot realizes if she wants a happy ending, she might just have to write it for herself. Book Trailer
Excerpt“What’s so awful about the Daylands?” Ascot asked Moony. Her mother had been born there.
“I don’t know, but I’d like to visit them.” Moony sat up, his orange eyes widening. “Do you know they’ve invented a light without candles or torches? They do it with gas.” “Gas?” said Ascot, hoping she’d misheard. “Not that kind of gas.” He wrinkled his nose. “They make it from some kind of rock. Isn’t that amazing?” “Where did you hear all this?” “Oh, the fishmonger wraps my cod heads in newspaper. I like to read while I eat. They have many things we don’t in the Daylands. Unicorns! Fairies! Coconuts!” “Coconuts?” “I think they’re some kind of bat.” Author

Praise“Falling of the Moon is a fantasy fairytale like nothing I have read before. Mystery and secrets take you to a fantastic mystical world sure to have a book two. It is Pirates of the Caribbean meets Cinderella. Looking forward to Ascot’s next adventure. Strong and determined with her loyal friends she will certainly make the Moonfall Mayhem a great series of books. I am ecstatic that this is just the start to what will be a truly great trilogy.”
— Girl + Book "I'd say it's like Shrek meets The Wizard of Oz if Dorothy were Wednesday Addams and Toto a talking cat with bat wings. Fun and funny with many laugh-out-loud moments. Can't wait for the next book in the series!" — Susan Sullivan, author of the Cleo Tidwell Paranormal Mystery series "A unique and clever fantasy, The Falling of the Moon is a thoroughly entertaining read from first page to last. Very highly recommended and certain to be an enduring favorite." —Midwest Book Review "A great read for anyone looking for something cheerful to read. Five shiny stars." —Kat Mandu, One Book Two "You must know going in you're going to be treated to a hoot of a light read within the Fantasy realms of a Decker novel!" --Jorie Loves a Story "The plot of this book was absolutely perfect. It was full of twists and turns, and kept me absolutely glued to the page. Ascot, the main character, she has a big heart and a humorous narrative. The friends she makes along the way were all great additions." --Hollie Ohs Book Reviews "If you enjoy fantasy, you need to read this tale. It's not like any fairy tale you know. It's much, much better." --Journey of a Bookseller "The Falling of the Moon is one of the most enjoyable and fun books I have read in ages." --BestSellersWorld.com "A fun story which both celebrates and undermines the fairy-tale genre." --The Review Curmudgeon |
