ST. PAUL AUTHOR SETS CRAZY ADVENTURES FOR A KNIGHT-PRINCESS HEROINE IN NEW JUVENILE FICTION

January 12, 2016  ST. PAUL, Alberta — This week marks the nationwide release of “Sir Princess Petra’s Mission,” an enjoyable and adventure-filled new children’s book by author Diane Mae Robinson.Book 3 high res. cover

In “Sir Princess Petra’s Mission,” Sir Princess Petra has already attained her knighthood in the Kingdom of Pen Pieyu and her non-princess-like talent certificate from Talent School — neither of which pleases her father and mother, the king and queen.

The king writes up more silly rules in the royal rule book to deter Sir Princess Petra from her knightly ways and useless talent and to turn her into a real princess once and for all. Will the king finally succeed with this newly written and ridiculous mission for Petra? Find out in “Sir Princess Petra’s Mission.”

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

Robinson lives in a small hilltop castle nestled inside an old and magical forest in central Alberta in Canada. This mystical forest is where she finds inspiration to write children’s fantasy and adventures. The author’s first two books in “The Pen Pieyu Adventures” series have won six international book awards and one provincial award. Robinson is also an art teacher and writing instructor. http://news.tatepublishing.com/?p=26784

Robinson’s multi-award winning work, ‘Sir Princess Petra’, teaches children valuable life lessons through engaging fiction. A no-cost teacher’s lesson plan, developed by an elementary school teacher, about the book is now available. The general outcome of the lesson plan: students will listen, speak, read, write, view and represent to explore thoughts, ideas, feelings and experiences

[January 23, 2013, St. Paul, Alberta, Canada] Award winning Canadian author Diane Robinson has announced that a no-cost lesson plan is now available to teachers for her highly praised, multi-award winning children’s book, ‘Sir Princess Petra’.

‘Sir Princess Petra’, the first in the Pen Pieyu series, features surprising plot twists and turns, brilliant flashes of humor, zany characters and is rooted in timeless values that shine through the charismatic main character. It is written in the tradition of C. S. Lewis and is reminiscent of ‘Shrek’. Reviewers have labeled the award winning book a ‘fantasy adventure that is sure to become a timeless classic.’

‘Sir Princess Petra’ took an Honorable Mention award in the 2013 Readers’ Favorite International Awards for Children Grade K – 3rd. This adds to the long list of awards for ‘Sir Princess Petra’.  Robinson was honored with two major awards for the book. She was awarded the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artists Award for Children’s Book Author and took 2nd place in the Purple Dragonfly Book awards for Children’s Chapter Book.

“In writing children’s literature,” Robinson stated, “I strive to engage the young reader in a fun and interesting way through the adventures of my characters. It is also important to me that the moral lessons about kindness, acceptance, understanding, and believing in oneself, are brought out through my character’s actions.”

The second book, ‘Sir Princess Petra’s Talent’ has already received a number of very favorable reviews. A recent review on Goodreads stated, ‘This is a book that should be in lots of classrooms. I think it is a good book to help children understand that everything is not as it first seems.’ Another reviewer stated, ‘Cloaked in a fantasy work of knights, kings, and dragons that will engulf children into the story, the moral lessons imparted are refreshingly neither preachy nor boring.

While dragon books are one of the most popular segments of fantasy fiction and children’s books in today’s marketplace, in these fantasy fiction books, Robinson uses the dragon books concept as the background to teaching young people traditional values.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Award Winning Author Diane Mae Robinson Receives Two Major Awards For Her Latest Children’s Book, ‘Sir Princess Petra’

Robinson received the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artists Award for Children’s Book Author and took 2nd Place in the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards

[December 4, 2012, St. Paul, Alberta, Canada] Award winning Canadian author Diane Robinson recently took home two major awards for her childrens book, ‘Sir Princess Petra’. She was honored with the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artists Award for Children’s Book Author. She also took 2nd place in the Purple Dragonfly Book awards for Children’s Chapter Book. ‘Sir Princess Petra’, the first book in the Pen Pieyu adventures, features surprising plot twists and turns, brilliant flashes of humor, zany characters and is rooted in timeless values that shine through the charismatic main character.The Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artists Award is open to artists from every discipline and every possible genre within it. The private ceremony was held at the Government House on June 14, 2012. His Honour Col. (Ret’d) the Honourable Donald S. Ethell bestowed the award on the recipients. The ceremony was attended by founding members Fil Fraser and the Honourable (Ret’d) Senator Tommy Banks. Tommy Banks reminded those in attendance that the aim of the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Arts Awards is to build Alberta’s artistic community as a whole.”Receiving the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artist Award  for Literary Arts,” stated Ms. Robinson, “is a huge honor, and a definite boost for recognition in the literary world.”As regards the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards, Linda Radke, President of Five Star Publications recently stated, “Winning any place in the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards is a huge honor because in order to maintain the integrity of the contest, a minimum score is required before a 1st or 2nd Place or Honorable Mention will be awarded – even if it is the only entry in a category,. Competition is steep, too, because there is no publication date limit as long as the book is still in print.”

‘Sir Princess Petra’ is written in the tradition of C. S. Lewis and is reminiscent of ‘Shrek’. Reviewers have labeled the award winning book a ‘fantasy adventure that is sure to become a timeless classic.’

While dragon books are one of the most popular segments of fantasy fiction and children’s books in today’s marketplace, in this fantasy fiction work, Robinson uses the dragon books concept as the background to teaching young people traditional values. In the story line, Princess Petra’s unusual birthday request to become a royal knight sends the royal court into a frenzy. But when she agrees to undertake a knight’s quest, not even the royal rulebook, with its list of outrageous knight deeds, can dissuade her. Armed with a cake knife and a suit of the best royal pots and pans, Petra chooses to hush the howling dragon, Snarls, in the Forest of Doom and win her real armour. Ms. Robinson’s highly praised work demonstrates that dragon books can be something much more than dragon books.

“Writing is a labor of love and hard work,” continued Ms. Robinson, “and receiving these two major awards is confirmation that I am on the right path in my career of writing for children.”
