“Wizard of Time” is a Fantasy Novel by Sue Owen. Below is a synopsis: Josh, Digger and Meri were rudely ported out of their time and far into the future by the Wizard of Time. King Arthur’s sword, Excalibur, is missing from its timeline. Without the sword in its proper place in history, everything from that point forward could change. Josh and his new found friends must find a way to return the sword to Arthur that won’t upset the timeline. However, the Bard’s have other plans. They want to rule time.

My latest book sample comes from Christine Rice, the author of “Blue Valley“, a contemporary fantasy set during the war years of Word War II and featuring a primary character named Will Leary. I have actually had the pleasure of reading this book, and I have to say that it was absolutely fantastic! I did a review of this book on my site previously, so you can check it out to see what I thought of the book.     And now for a sample from “Blue Valley”: 1923 The baby was wrong. Wrong in ways that brought up words like “unnatural” and “abomination”. Wrong in ways that made Kat wonder if she knew anything about the world. So wrong that she touched the hugeness of her belly to make sure her own baby … Read entire article »

My most recent book plug is “The Necromancer’s Apprentice” by J. M. Prioleau, a Gothic Fantasy featuring a main character named Jasmine Na’Darod who helps remind us that things are never what they seem. R.M. Prioleau is a game developer and artist by day; and a dangerous writer by night. Since childhood, she’s continued exploring new methods of expanding her skills and creativity as she delves into the realm of literary abandon. R.M. can often be seen lurking about many great writing communities like NaNoWriMo. Now for a sample of her book: -Chapter 1- The Na’Darod manor sat forty miles south of the city of Lakis, in Caristan’s sparse countryside. Laced modestly with withering ivy, the greystone structure was confined within the boundaries of a wooden fence which snaked a path through the … Read entire article »

This book plug is the first one I’ve done for a book that I have not only read, but also reviewed! I had the opportunity to read this fine fantasy, and I can absolutely say without reservation that anyone who enjoys good, epic fantasies should definitely read this book! The title of the book is “The Sable City“, and it was written by M. Edward McNally. I asked Ed to tell me a few things about himself, and being a man of few words, this is what he had to say: “North Carolina born, Midwestern raised, Phoenix living. Studied English Lit and Russian/East European History in school, and wrote a few books at the place where the two butted heads.” Okay, so he doesn’t have much to say about himself, … Read entire article »

Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing Daniel Arenson on my site. Now he is here to share some information on one of his new books, “Flaming Dove“, which deals with alienation. Born in 1980, Daniel is an author of fantasy fiction, from epic to dark and surreal. Like many writers, he began his career writing short stories. He sold his first story, “Worms Believe in God”, in 1998.

Since then, he wrote the fantasy novels “The Gods of Dream”, “Flaming Dove”, and “Eye of the Wizard”. Now for a sample of … Read entire article »
