Now Available: 50 Shades of Neigh by Stephen Coghlan

Written by prolific Canadian author Stephen Coghlan, 50 Shades of Neigh is a fantasy parody sure to please.

Now available in eBook and Paperback formats, we invite all voracious fantasy readers to purchase or rent their copy today!

A fun, twisted fairy tale for grown-ups with a unique, unpredictable story. If you grew up playing with My Little Pony while also pulling the heads off of Barbie Dolls (like I did), then you’ll get a kick out of this book. I also learned some stuff about anatomy that I didn’t know before…although it’s not really knowledge I’ll be able to put into practice.
