May 2025 Mid-Month Update

Happy May!

Here's the latest on what's currently posting in the PirateCat portal, and what's to come next...

Coming NEW to the PirateCat Portal This Month:

She is a grief-stricken princess who never laughs. He is a bumbling butcher with a heart of gold. When their worlds collide, can they find hope in each other?

A brand-new story will be coming this month to PirateCat: Astryn and the Golden Goose by M.J. Padgett!

This is a fairy-tale retelling of "The Princess Who Never Smiled" with aspects of "The Golden Goose," and also contains sweet romance and elements of Christian faith!

M.J. is working to set the story up inside the PirateCat portal this week/weekend, and its first chapter/episode will launch Monday, May 19! It will be posting in weekly episodes after that, until the story is completely posted.

This one has been available for sale on Amazon and other retailers for quite some time, and readers love it -- it has a 4.5-star average with 100 reviews and ratings on Amazon, and a 4.5 star average with 138 ratings on Goodreads! We're thrilled to have it coming to the PirateCat portal.

There will be more new content announcements coming soon, but that's it for now!
