(Faery Sight)

Serie El Legado de Las Hadas 1 

(Faerie Legacy Series Book 1)

by Patricia Bossano

Genre: Fantasía (YA Fantasy)

 

A los diecisiete años, La Soberanía de las Hadas es el único mundo que Celeste conoce. En su corazón, atesora el sueño de convertirse, algún día, en una de ellas.
Pero los hechos revelados por su madre antes de morir desvían sus ilusiones.
Huérfana y ansiosa por tomar las riendas de su destino, Celeste vacila entre sus certezas de antaño y las nuevas.


¿Es la princesa humana que su madre formó o es el hada-humana que anhela ser?
¿Va a vengar a sus padres y honrar el compromiso de matrimonio que la espera en el mundo mortal o debe obedecer a su corazón y permanecer junto al extraño que acaba de entrar en su vida?


Celeste elige vengar la muerte de sus padres, incluso si eso significa reconocer el lugar que le corresponde en la dimensión humana.


Motivada por la princesa de las hadas, Nahia, y amparada por la Corte Luminosa y por su verdadero amor, Celeste se propone desenmascarar a la insidiosa hechicera Arantxa.
Confía en que nada impedirá su regreso triunfal a la Soberanía de las Hadas… Nada hasta que la identidad de su prometido es revelada.

Un Don de Cuna 

(Cradle Gift)

Serie El Legado de Las Hadas 2 

(Faerie Legacy Series Book 2)

 

 

El día en que nació Maité, su hada madrina le otorgó un don de cuna. Arma y herramienta a la vez, el don de sueños lúcidos le permite a Maité viajar a otros mundos mientras duerme.

A los diecisiete años, el entorno cotidiano de Maité se desgarra con la trágica pérdida de sus padres. Desterrada del único hogar que conoce y aislada en el extranjero, la joven lucha por encontrarle sentido a su nueva vida. Ajena al conflicto en la Soberanía de las Hadas, que se cierne inexorable sobre su realidad, Maité descubre que ella, una humana, está en el centro de la gran batalla por el control absoluto de la soberanía.

A través de su don de cuna, Maité empieza a vislumbrar la magnitud de la influencia feérica en su vida. Dispuesta a retomar las riendas de su destino a partir del transcendental descubrimiento, Maité se apoya en Emily, su mejor amiga, y en David, un joven cuyo interés por la genética ilumina posibilidades que cambiarán la identidad de Maité para siempre.

  

**Also available in English! **

On the day she was born, Maité received a cradle gift from the faery Nahia—a gift that allows her to travel into other worlds while in a dream state.
At seventeen, Maité’s mortal world is torn apart with the tragic loss of her parents. Uprooted from the only home she’s ever known and isolated in a foreign country, the young woman struggles to make sense of her new life. But the conflict in the realm of Faerie is about to bleed over into Maité’s reality. She finds herself in the middle of an ancient struggle between Nahia and the Beautiful One as they furiously clash for control over the realm.
Through her Cradle Gift, Maité uncovers the extent of the Faerie Realm’s involvement in her life, and in her quest to come to terms with it, Maité has the help of best friend Emily, and David; a young man whose interest in genetics illuminates possibilities that will change her identity forever.

“The characters popped out of the pages. Engaging scenes that carried many themes like loss, friendship, and courage. Cradle Gift sends readers, like myself, deep into the plot.”
–Danielle Urban

“A magical tale written by Patricia Bossano with poetic flair … Women of all ages will love this book, and might very well come away from this make believe world, believing in Fairies.”
–Amazon customer

“… Once again the author is a wonderful story teller and you will find yourself lost in the faery world, cheering for your favorite characters …”

La rebelde princesa de las hadas se debate entre satisfacer sus propios deseos y lo que es mejor para sus seres queridos y para el tropel.

Siguiendo su corazón en busca del hombre que ama; Nahia oculta su identidad feérica para integrarse a la dimensión humana.

Después de dar a luz a una hija, el secreto de Nahia queda al descubierto, al igual que la ineludible responsabilidad de haber alterado para siempre la huella genética de su familia. Acorralada, Nahia vuelve a la Soberanía de las Hadas cuyo peso latente recae en la joven princesa después de la muerte del mágico guardián del bosque.

Para salvar su hogar y renovar los lazos con su familia humana y feérica, Nahia debe procurar un receptor mágico para el nuevo Guardián del Bosque, pues sin él no podrá avivar la soberanía ni convertirse en la nueva Reina de las Hadas.

 

**Also available in English! **

A rebellious faery princess struggles with satisfying her own desires over what’s best for her loved ones. Following her heart in pursuit of the human she loves, Nahia hides her faery identity in order to enter the human dimension.
After giving birth to a daughter, Nahia’s secret is revealed, as is the realization that she has forever altered the genetic human footprint. Faced with death, Nahia returns to the faerie realm only to have its dormant weight thrust upon her after the demise of its magical keeper.
To save her home and renew ties with both her human and faerie family, Nahia must find a way to reawaken the realm, become the new Faery Queen, and provide a royal descendant for the new Keeper of the Forest.

“Bossano’s writing is beautiful and rich with detail . . . A vivid and intricate fantasy tale about the ties that bind and the conflicts between two realms.”
–Kirkus Reviews

“A novel of truly epic scale . . . With its deep and detailed dive into the fairy realm, as well as its vivid, high-level vocabulary, Nahia is a complex fantasy novel that should not be missed.”
–Foreword Reviews

Patricia Bossano has done it again; this latest book in her amazing Faerie series is absolutely brilliant and her best work yet, in my opinion. Nahia ties all three books in the trilogy together nicely and once again puts the reader right in the middle of the action with her deep and vivid style . . . These stories have everything you could ask for and more . . . Simply magical, I believe!”

Goddess Fish Promotions –  THE PASSENGER Book Blast

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Joie Lesin will be awarding a $25 Amazon/BN gift card to a randomly drawn winner. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

She’s a 1940s ghost whisperer.

Burdened with her empathic gift, Elizabeth Reilly wants to be free of it and fit in with normal people. Nevertheless, when the spirit of an old man asks for her help, she travels across the country to help him return home.

He’s the son of a ghost.

Gio Clemente is still angry with his father who abandoned him as a child. To help the father pass on, Elizabeth must persuade Gio to let go of his anger. Though he resents her intrusion, they are both stunned to find themselves fighting a profound attraction.

Elizabeth can accept his headstrong brand of love, but can Gio accept her gift—and believe in her?

The Passenger, a 1940s ghost story set in the California wine country, tells a tale of family connections, life-changing choices, and love—lost and found.

Read an Excerpt

Elizabeth’s stomach churned in nervous knots. She squirmed on the cloth seat, and her foot twitched. If he heard her erratic heartbeat, he’d realize how frantic she was—and hot. Perspiration built up on her forehead. Grabbing the metal handle, she rolled down the squeaking window, and inhaled the pure air. The fragrances of the forest filled her senses—the resinous scent of pine, the earthiness of soil, and damp detritus of fallen branches and decaying leaves. The surrounding land was alive, vibrant, and something more she couldn’t quite identify. Somehow, the vehicle they drove in and the path it traveled seemed out of place.

Gravel on the uneven road crunched and ground under the truck’s tires. Elizabeth sat straight in her seat and stole stiff, awkward glimpses at Giovanni. A frown marked his lips. His lean, well-defined face held soulful eyes bringing to her mind images of the sad little boy he must have been.

A thin red scar stretched down his right cheek and she itched to run a finger along the faded edges. She’d caress his stubble-shadowed chin and tell him how terribly his father missed him.

Instead, she stared out the truck window.

About the Author:

Award-winning, Minnesota-based author, Joie Lesin is a life-long fiction writer and poet. She is most recently the author of The Passenger (The Wild Rose Press, 2024) and her work is also featured in Scribeworth Magazine. She has long been fascinated by anything otherworldly including mermaids and ghosts. Joie writes character-driven, emotional, atmospheric tales about heartache and hope.

Silver Dagger Tours – The Heart Scarab Release Blitz & Giveaway

“…an exhilarating and original piece of fantasy.”

Self-Publishing Review

The Heart Scarab

The Duchy Wars Book 2

by Stella Atrium

Genre: SciFi Dystopian Fantasy

Bybiis has successfully thwarted her nemesis Ulaya and captured a clutch of serpent pouches that carry a certain magic. Against her will, the pouches get distributed among warriors of the Siibabean, so Bybiis goes her own way for discovering more about her beastmaster powers.

Meanwhile, Stuben el Cylahi has taken a position as police in the duchy capital of Urbyd where he butts heads with his boss Rufus el Arrivi. Stuben realizes that he also must strike out on his own and joins a group of Rundi who are on mission to recover some quarry slaves. His witness of coming events makes him wish that he had remained nearby Rufus. Can Stuben regain his tribal status?

Praise for The Heart Scarab:

 

For fans of speculative fiction who crave rich world building, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes, The Heart Scarab is nothing short of essential reading.

The BookViral Review

 

An elaborate and enthralling fantasy. Reminiscent of Robin Hobb’s legendary fantasy series, the immersive vernacular and eccentrically crafted language fully transports readers to. The alternating narrative structure provides readers with a full picture of this meticulously constructed realm, while the intermingling plotlines keep the elaborate prose at a persistent pace. Striking a confident balance between political intrigue, rich character study, and trenchant but epic dystopian themes, this second novel of Atrium’s series shines as an exhilarating and original piece of fantasy.

The Matrix Opal

The Duchy Wars Book 1

From 5X award-winning writer.

Ariseng knew that she was expendable, but she would leave the stone forest and embrace their mission only if the Matrix Opal was hers, for magic and protection. She didn’t know that her true enemy lived among her new friends.

This standalone science fiction novel presents a fresh protagonist and sidekick. Familiar characters from the previous 5-book series also grow into adult roles, such as Bybiis the Beastmaster who struggles to find her place among the tribes that populate Dolvia’s city-states. Kristos el Arrivi meets Ariseng who is from a very different tribe and unwilling to harness her skills for the resistance. Will the young leaders learn to work together before their training is overwhelmed by a Ciska assassin group?

Praise for The Matrix Opal:

Stella Atrium’s writing is fluid and her superior storytelling skills leave a spell on readers, forcing them to keep on turning the pages. This deeply moving tale is filled with humanity and realism.

-Book Commentary

 

As always, Atrium builds worlds and cultures with anthropological rigor… and tour-guides readers through those creations with such exacting prose and immersive detail that the textures of life and conflict come to feel real.

-Book Life

 

… a beautiful masterpiece of worldbuilding with richly drawn characters, nuanced politics, conflicting cultures, and strange and wonderful creatures… It would be a shame to miss out on any of it.

Silver Dagger Tours – Shaman Book Tour & Giveaway (8/12 to 9/12)

Two people are brought together by a force they never saw coming . . .

Shaman

A Talisman Series Standalone

by Tam DeRudder Jackson

Genre: Paranormal Romance, Romantasy

A druid straddles the line between light and darkness . . .

Renleigh Rogan keeps to herself in her remote Montana cabin, tending her plants and honing her protection spells. Only occasionally does she indulge her shape-shifting abilities… Called to Scotland in the middle of the night to help heal a rogue warrior, her first instinct is to ignore the summons, but danger lies in disobeying a powerful goddess.

A rogue is caught in a celestial tug-o-war . . .

Jamie Lennox gave up the warrior community long ago, voluntarily fighting in the Morrigan’s rogue army. Cocky, and one of the most accomplished swordsman in the community, he’s the perfect weapon for taking the warriors the Morrigan covets most. Yet when he loses a pivotal battle, she turns on him, leaving him injured and lost in a no-man’s land between good and evil, a place no warrior or rogue can exist for long. Luckily for him, a beautiful druid has come to his rescue, even if she’s saving him against her will.

Two people are brought together by a force they never saw coming . . .

The fact Jaime Lennox looks like a fallen angel has nothing to do with Renleigh’s decision to come to his aid. His sexy come-ons do not intrigue her either—not even a little bit. Nor does the mysterious past he hides. While the two of them spar inside an enchanted cottage in the Highlands, overhead, a celestial storm is brewing, one that will require each of them to decide what truly matters—their beliefs about themselves and each other or the truth that will set their love free.

“Jackson works this admittedly familiar supernatural romance/urban fantasy terrain (readers of J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, for instance, will feel right at home) with winning energy, a good ear for dialogue, and a sharp sense of pacing.” Kirkus Reviews for Rogue

Amazon * Apple * B&N * Kobo * Bookbub * Goodreads

Tam DeRudder Jackson’s love of all things Celtic led her to write the Talisman Series. Steeped in Celtic mythology, these steamy, fated mates, paranormal romance adventures are set in the mountains of Tam’s native Montana and the Highlands of Scotland. Rogue, the most recent book in the series, was named a best romance of 2022 by the Independent Book Review.

An avid fan of rock music, Tam never misses a chance to see a live show, especially if it’s Shinedown, one of her favorite bands. Her love of rock music inspired her contemporary rock star Balefire Series, a sexy fun ride following the lives and loves of the members of a fictional mega-band. Readers of this series consistently give the books five-star reviews.

Tam earned her BA in English from Montana State University and her M.Ed. in literacy from Lesley University. After a short teaching stint in Bath, England, she settled in the wilds of Wyoming where she taught adolescents all about the Celts and a bit about writing before she stepped out of the classroom to pursue her writing career full time.

When she’s not writing, you can find her working her way through her mountainous TBR piles, alpine skiing, or traveling to some new place on her ever-expanding bucket list. To stay up to date on her adventures, connect with Tam on her website www.tamderudderjackson where you can subscribe to her newsletter.

My Amazon Vine Review of Tainada Neoprene Beer Beverage Drink Can Coolie (2 pcs,Double Sided Printing)

5 out of 5 Stars

Perfect For Keeping Your Beverage Cold

I hold onto stuff until it’s falling apart. My koozie was the same thing. I don’t have children, but I do have cats, so I bought these as gifts for myself from them.

I’ve seen other koozzies that were really thin. Not these. They are nice and thick so you know they will keep your drink cold. And 12 oz cans fit perfectly in them. They also feel comfortable in the hands.

They appear to be well-made and should hold up for quite a few years. And they are affordable for the price. They’d make an ideal gift for your mother or as a gift to yourself. I recommend them.

It is only by combining their strengths and wisdom not yet learned that they just might succeed. Perhaps by accepting their last few moments on Earth, they might endure what awaits. For it is Written in the Stars!

Silver Dagger Times Change Book Tour & Giveaway – 8/6 to 9/6

Joe Mack is back, solving cold cases that eluded Eliot Ness and kicking demon butt.

Times Change

Joe Mack Shadow Council Files Book 5

by Gail Z. & Larry N. Martin

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Roaring 20’s Monster Hunter

Joe Mack is back, solving cold cases that eluded Eliot Ness and kicking demon butt.

Josef Magarac was a brave man, a strong man, a hard-working immigrant who only wanted a better life for his family. Then he was murdered, and an ancient Slavic god brought him back to life, gave him new abilities, and a mission to protect those who can’t protect themselves. Now he’s Joe Mack, immortal thanks to the Slavic god, and a champion against dark magic, demons, and things that go bump in the night.

Joe’s previous collection of adventures spanned the Roaring Twenties and Prohibition. Now he’s in the modern era, working with new partners and adjusting to a whole new century. But old cases have resurfaced, and demons never die. A supernatural serial killer has returned, and some of the evil Joe thought was done and dusted has returned to wreak havoc. It will take all of the supernatural abilities, wit, and will of Joe and his partners—past and present—to stop the dark forces once and for all. If they fail, it will unleash a wave of demonic vengeance, blood, and death unlike anything Cleveland has ever seen.

Times Change is a non-stop thrill ride full of paranormal action, found family, dark magic, and loyal friends.

The Joe Mack Adventures Volume 1

When you ask a god for favors, be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

From the bloody steel mill strikes of Pennsylvania rose a true man of steel, a steelworker transformed into something more by the power of the old gods. Josef Magarac was a brave man, a strong man, a hard-working immigrant who only wanted a better life for his family. Then he was murdered, and an ancient Slavic god brought him back to life, gave him new abilities, and a mission to protect those who can’t protect themselves.

Now he’s Joe Mack, and together with his allies, Secret Service agent Jack West and heiress Sarah Grace McAllen Harringworth, he handles the hard cases the regular feds won’t touch like magic-wielding mobsters, Lovecraftian monsters, and secret supernatural societies.

The Joe Mack Adventures: Volume One is a non-stop thrill ride full of paranormal action, found family, dark magic, and loyal friends.
