I like to write about what I see. We are living in a very special moment, we have more resources and technology than in other times in the world, and yet we continue to relate in the same way as there are centuries ago, with small changes. Communications govern our lives, in theory, and the connection between us is not always made

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I've always loved time-travel stories where two people in a relationship experience events in a different order, so I wanted to explore what would happen if four generations of the same family lived their lives out of synch. Traditional tales tell of people coming back from the Faerie world to find that years have passed without them, so there was a natural fit between time-travel and the little people. I was also inspired by the Leicester legend of Black Annis, who lived in a cave she'd scratched with her own fingernails and snatched children who wandered alone in the woods.

For four-hundred years, magic has been outlawed by Tor-Haval. Sandrik is the first bright-eye to be seen in Caladon in living memory, and he doesn’t want anyone to think of him as they did the ominous Aurae of legend, so he keeps his special abilities hidden.

I actually started writing this book over forty years ago, from images that formed in my mind of the four pivotal scenes, but I only got a little ways into it – eighty hand-written (did I say this was forty years ago?) pages. A character I liked was heading toward his imminent death, and being an inexperienced pantser I didn't know how to change his destiny, so I set it aside and didn't take it back up until about five years ago, when I had been actively writing short fiction for a few years (making me an EXPERIENCED pantser) and decided it was time to write my first novel.

Born of Water by Autumn M. Birt

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

Some magic is best not to be born with.

In a world controlled by magic, not everyone wants the “honor” of being an Elemental Priestess and becoming a slave to the Church of Four Orders. But when Ria calls upon magic to save her best friend’s life, she discovers there is something worse than being able to control water, air, fire, or earth.

There is another power, one that is forbidden, and its use is punishable by death.

Ria must flee everything she has known to outrun a creature sent to capture those who use tainted magic. Her best chance of success comes in the protection of an outcast Water Priestess who might choose to betray her as much as help.

In a desperate race to save her life, Ria must discover just what is the magic she controls and why the Church of Four Orders wants anyone born with it killed before they capture her.

The Rise of Greater Adlanduz: Wind of Change by Robert Gaspari

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

This is my re-imagined story of the lost continent of Atlantis as they extended their realm into the fertile trade lands of the Mediterranean Ocean. The magnificent children of the gods brought culture to their more primitive brothers and sisters well before the rise of the Egyptians, Greek or Romans who their culture served as the basis for.
These giants among men towered over the peoples of the inland ocean and brought trade, peace and prosperity to their neighbors. The Adlanduzans raised the standard of living and quality of life in the region and reigned for a thousand years. The empire was lost in the annals of time but lived on in legends passed down in various tongues that modified the pronunciation of their name. Even today, many remember tales of the lost continent of Atlantis and Atlantean culture. (Adlanduz and the Adlanduz people).

I will watch anything about Atlantis. So why not recreate the lost continent, a cast of imaginary characters, and epic events. It allowed my mind to range from one end of the historical realm to the fantastic.

Chronicles of the Fae Princess: The Halfling Fae Academy: Complete Boxset by J.L. Hendricks

99 cents from Feb. 15 through March 15.

She may be a pretty schoolgirl, but she’s more dangerous than anyone can imagine.

Mia Jennings isn’t a normal girl. She knows there’s something different about her because she keeps seeing things. That would be fine but she just wants to be normal.

But what is normal?

Trying to learn more about her powers, she fights in a tournament. Some believe she’s an easy target, a nobody, someone who will just lay down and die. They couldn’t be more mistaken.

Now, Mia’s on a journey to learn about her powers. She’s not keen on the idea, but her attitude might just help her survive the challenges thrown her way. Factor in a fae bounty hunter and a cute boy supporting her, she might just have enough friends at her side to learn how to use her natural gifts and discover the truth about who she is.

They wanted a fight? Mia’s gonna give them one.

But can she fight hard and last long enough to learn what she needs to?

Chronicles of the Fae Princess: The Halfling Fae Academy includes all three books of the Chronicles of The Unwanted Princess Series:

The Portal of Chance
The Forbidden Portal
The Emerald Portal

Callie Hart Complete Series Boxed Set by Renée Jaggér

Callie Hart Complete Series Boxed Set by Renée Jaggér

99 cents from Feb. 8 through end of month.

How many secrets does the Army hold? At least one that concerns me, which I found out after they decided I was unnecessary.
Get the complete Callie Hart series – all three books – to find out how long Callie will remain blissfully unaware of the danger she is in.

Thin Ice:

That advice about telling the truth? It’s highly overrated.

They say there is a point where you can’t go anywhere but up. I have to think guarding an underwear factory is such a point after running ops in the Sandpit overseas.

Besides, wouldn’t you get the heebie-jeebies walking around in a warehouse full of scantily clad plastic body parts carrying nothing but a flashlight?

Yeah, I thought so.

That first fight was vicious, short, and terrifying, and what I killed turned to ash…

Circumstances force me to accept a job (very recently vacated due to Ash-Boy) guarding the body of a jet-setting male model. He knows what the Army is hiding…

This might work. Well, if I can keep from applying my brand new two-inch heels to my potential boss’s ridiculously toned picture-perfect posterior.

Let’s face it. Can anyone see me keeping this job?

Me either.

Cold Blood:

Three people, four personalities and my boss’s mom is the Queen of the Winter Court. Can life possibly screw with me a little more?

After an exciting month with three assassination attempts on my client and three frantic weeks trying to get enough questions answered to make a life-altering decision, is a peaceful week in Spain with my best friend too much to ask?

Apparently. Ronan’s mom has other ideas.

Our security team was taking shape, but we weren’t there yet. The week was supposed to be a shakedown cruise for our new staff members, more or less.

Instead, we are pitchforked into a peace summit. What could happen?

Anytime you mix vampires and fae, it’s a powderkeg…and the fuse is very short.

Those questions I mentioned? Well, the answers just came right up and smacked me in the face. Too bad Ronan was caught in the crossfire.

When you fall into the sewers of Paris and ruin your best leather jacket and boots, then get dragged to a gala as your client’s plus-one, what do you wear?

I was shortly to wish that was my worst problem.

Feelings Run Deep:

Her landlord planned to demolish her house. The vampires figured, why not demolish her inside of it?

At least Callie doesn’t have to worry about getting her security deposit back.

Why has Vaughn been in such a rush to kill her? Is he afraid she can persuade the Winter and Summer courts to work together? After all, if the courts don’t unite, the vamps will destroy them all. Shouldn’t that be motivation enough?

Apparently not.

Callie will just have to persuade them to cooperate anyway.

It will be a bit harder to do that from the dungeon where the Winter Queen promised to toss her.

Has Vaughn finally outwitted them all?

What can Callie do to stop the slaughter?

Read the series fans are praising:
★★★★★ “Excellent first in the series. I really enjoyed the characters, they are flushed out to perfection. Take a chance and enjoy the ride.”

★★★★★ “Good read! Really enjoyed this book. I thought it was very good, especially for the first in series. Good plot, good characters and fun to read.”

★★★★★ “A good premise with a fast paced story that I didn’t want to put down.”

Waite on the Ripper by John Campbell

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

What if I told you that Jack the Ripper is a supernatural predator whose murder spree spans centuries?

Now that devil has come to Austin, and every woman in my city is in mortal peril. I’m Harmon Waite, a homegrown private investigator, and I’ve been hired to stop The Ripper, but all I manage to do is piss off that devil. As I go from hunter to hunted, I have a single chance to survive the night.

Of course, that’s when the fallen angel shows up.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I like to tie several ideas together to make a good story, but the initial idea for “Waite on the Ripper” came from an article in the Austin American Statesman written back in 1888. That article claimed Austin’s Servant Girl Annihilator murders, which happened a few years before the Whitechapel killings, were actually Jack the Ripper’s doing. I read that a decade before I wrote the book, and I always thought it would make a good story.

Land of Midnight Days by Katrina Jack

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

The City is a dark and dangerous place but amongst the desperation and despair there is a ray of hope, weak and insubstantial, but with the potential to light up the world.
Jeremiah Tully has a single joy in his life – the silver flute his mother left him. Mute from birth, the flute is his voice; but the mystery of why his mother abandoned him is left unanswered. Isolated because of his disability, and his mixed-race heritage, he struggles to find meaning for his existence.
The metropolis is awash with demons and other horrors, can he drive them back – would that gain him acceptance? The silver flute is inscribed with the musical notes of a powerful melody that could be used as a weapon against the invaders – but there’s no guarantee that it will work.
Then one day a stranger comes into his life and all hell breaks loose…

I used to work in a call centre and my desk was next to a huge window that overlooked the iconic art-deco Littlewoods building, on Edge Lane in Liverpool. In between calls, I would gaze out at the building and one day it struck me that it would make a great location for a story. I developed the idea further, over a number of weeks and hence, The Land of Midnight Days was born.

The Chronicles Of Innika: A Story In Verse & Musings And Memories by Chandler P. Robinson

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

THE CHRONICLES OF INNIKA

Once, it was the greatest achievement of Humanity; a beacon of hope, a civilization unchallenged, a paradise without equal. For a millennia it stood and prospered. But appearances can often deceive, for behind those great walls and the unbroken gate, it’s downfall was born. One that would come to be known as, Nepheth.

Scheming, corrupting, twisting, Nepheth would turn Innika into his own version of oblivion. His Dominion. The Golden Emperor, the Jade Deity, the Forged One; many titles for the same tyrant, all inspiring awe and bringing dread.

These are the untold stories of that shattered paradise. The forgotten chronicles of heroes, cowards, kings and soldiers. The last memories of Innika.

The Council (The Witch’s Ambitions Trilogy #1) by Kayla Krantz

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

The Council is the governing Coven over the Land of Five, a region entirely inhabited—and split apart—by witches with varying powers.

Lilith Lace, a witch thought to be born powerless, happily resides in Ignis, the Coven of Fire, until she suddenly develops telekinesis, an ability only seen in some witches born in Mentis, the Coven of the Mind. She’s terrified of it, unsure who she can trust. Her best friends, Helena and Clio, are hot and cold about what she can do, leaving Lilith even more unsure about her future.

At her Arcane Ceremony, the truth comes out.

When the Council learns what she can do, she’s taken under their wing and is finally told the truth—everything she’s learned about the Land of Five, herself included, have been nothing but lies.

When I got the idea for this book, it was the first time that I branched out from my genre. By nature, I am a psychological horror/thriller author. I debuted in that genre, and love it to pieces. The idea for the Council was created when I decided I wanted to try my hand at writing a fantasy book. I started out thinking of a world of witches and fairies and details grew from there.

Rescued by Baron, a handsome wagon trail scout, Star narrowly escapes an Indian war party.
Carried on horse-back to the wagon train, she is about to experience the hardships and sometimes hilarious events of pioneer life.
Taken under the protection of a woman named Hildy who lost her daughter and then her husband during the long journey south from New York, Star is uncertain what her destiny will be once this woman reaches her final destination.
Is this a dream created by her unconscious state, or is it a delusion, hallucination, or perhaps an illusion? Whatever the explanation, it is terrifying!
Will STAR remain in 1754 or somehow return to her own time, and her newfound love?
Only Father God knows how to bring this young woman back to himself.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My Inspiration to write this book came from several factors. Firstly, I love to read Time Travel stories, yet some don’t seem to get the vanishing back through time part correctly.
As a retired specialist nurse and aware of the unconscious patients’ ability to hear and know while in a comatose state, I drew on this understanding for traveling back through time. Having my seventeen-year-old granddaughter living with me
and sighting the rebellion in her plus praying for her safety, also contributed to the story.
When writing, I use my formed education of nursing, mental health, emergency medicine, psychology, and Bible College to draw an exciting picture of events.

Elemental Rising by Toni Cox

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

Dragons, Elves, and Magic. What more could you want from a fantasy trilogy?

Maia, Elf Princess of Grildor, has trained her entire life to be the Elemental of her people. Yet, when she returns home to Elveron after her final test, disaster strikes. She has brought with her the very thing she tried to leave behind.

Faced with responsibilities she thinks she is not ready for, a love she does not reciprocate, and a threat to her people that might kill them all, she is suddenly forced to become what she is meant to be – a Prime.

An army more terrible than the nation of Grildor ever had to face is suddenly at the Gate and Maia, with the help of her dragon, Midnight, must face the challenges of saving her people.
The appearance of Death, however, might derail all their plans. Will the bad omen mean the end of them all, or can Maia overcome that which holds her back from true power?

“Cox has created characters; a world; a story that is Tolkien worthy. She has developed something unique and rich in imagination.” Sian B. Claven (Author of The Butcher books)
