Shifted by Tricia Barr

Rule #1: Never go out after dark.
Rule #2: Never go into large bodies of water.
Rule #3: Stay off of social media.

Myreen didn’t think breaking one rule, just once, would lead to the death of her mother. And she never expected to learn she was a mermaid shifter, or that her mother was killed by vampires.

Whisked away in the middle of the night for her own safety, Myreen finds herself in a secret school for shifters. With rumors swirling, mean girls circling, and two incredibly attractive guys tugging her in separate directions, Myreen will need to untangle the web of secrets surrounding her if she ever wants to find out why her mother was murdered.

But as she dives deeper into the mystery, she discovers a truth about herself that no one saw coming—a truth that will change the fate of the shifter world forever.

The Knights of Zion by Jeffrey Gamett

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

David is a twelve-year old orphan that discovers his real family has been changed into monsters. In order to save them, He joins forces with an exiled knight and sets off to find a cure for his family’s disease. But his quest is thwarted by a Dark Wizard who will stop at nothing to keep David from finding the truth.

Author Bio:
Jeffrey Gamett was born in Las Vegas Nevada and educated at Brigham Young University. He got his first job writing sports content for a local television station in college. Since then, he’s written professionally for numerous magazines and online publications. The Knights of Zion is his debut novel.

He lives in Henderson with his family

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The idea for “The Knights of Zion” came to me while I was discussing the Twilight novels with a friend of mine. My friend was very upset that Edward Cullen and his family were damned to be vampires for all eternity even though they had done nothing wrong. She cried how unfair it was that they were beyond redemption.

I laughed at her and joked, “Well, I guess vampires just need Jesus!”

This started a lively discussion on what it would be like if Jesus ever met Edward Cullen. Would Jesus try to heal the monster? Would the vampire try to suck Jesus’ blood? What effect would Jesus’ blood have on the creature? These questions needed answers. So I went home and wrote the first draft of my story, “Jesus Christ: Vampire Savior.”

Since most of my readers are devout Christians, I was later convinced to rewrite the story in more subtle terms. I changed all the names of people and places and took alot of artistic license. But at its core, The Knights of Zion is a story about Jesus and how he saved a nation of evil vampires from their own damnation.

About the Author
Samantha Warren is a fantasy author who spends her days immersed in dragons, spaceships, and vampires.

In the name of research, she enlisted the help of her pet dragon, Anethesis, and together they built a Noah’s Ark-like space ship. Three trips through a hole in the time-space continuum allowed the pair to explore the universe decades into the past and eons into the future. They discovered how life would be without Earth and were forced to run from alien law enforcement when their ship was deemed unspaceworthy. In the long run, the constant demands of space travel and repairs cut into Samantha’s sock fetish fund, so she was forced to sell her ark for half-price to a slimy creature that made Jabba the Hutt look like Brad Pitt.

After her years of traveling, she returned to her roots. When she isn’t writing or reading, she is milking cows or trying to feed them Pop-Tarts and FiberOne bars (they like neither). She also spends a lot of time in her weed patch (aka: garden), drinking lattes at the Village Cafe, collecting zombie gnomes, or watching any show featuring Gordon Ramsay. Anethesis remains by her side, sleeping away the day and hunting evil cat-eating coyotes by night.
