So Many New Worlds Giveaway
Saturday, January 20, 2024

Hello! Welcome to my stop on the King Sumo Giveaway Virtual Tour! Are you having fun? Learning about new amazing books? Meeting new authors? I met new authors myself. How cool is that?

 

           

 

My first and only novel (so far), Fairyeater, is what we call a “Quest Fantasy.” That means the main character must go on a quest to find something crucial.

 

                                                        

 

In Fairyeater, the main character, Akeela, must find the four pieces of the Fairystone so she can become the next Fairy Guardian and defeat the Dark Lord. Boy, that sounds so simple, doesn’t it? But Akeela would tell you it completely turned her world upsidedown. And not in a good way.

At first.

She’s accompanied by new friends, meets different species of people, fights for her life, and falls in love (because I love a happy ending.)

In fantasy, we have the freedom to create all kinds of characters, and my story is no different. I created all the characters but two.

The question you have to answer for the Scavenger Hunt is: who created the two characters I didn’t?

Go to: https://pamhalter.com/fairiesfantasyfaith/154-Release-Day-for-Fairyeater   to find the answer.

 

Here’s the link for the Scavenger Hunt form: https://forms.gle/a1w4HFZ2K35Z5Sai8 

 

On the next stop in the Virtual Tour, you’ll meet Michelle Levigne: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorMichelleLevigne 

 

                                                   

 

Michelle is an author and a publisher. She’s also my friend. We met at Realm Makers (a conference for Christians who write speculative fiction) and have been friends ever since.

She’s a terrific author and storyteller! She runs two publishing houses, Mt. Zion Ridge Press (books) and Ye Olde Dragon Books (anthologies). I’m so pleased and proud to have short stories in 5 anthologies!

DRAGONS AND DRINKS
Tuesday, September 12, 2023

Hey, everyone! Are you enjoying Dragons and Drinks

This blog post is for those who are attending the event RIGHT NOW – Tuesday, Sept. 23rd – 730-930pm EST.

If you’ve gotten this far checking out my website, I have a prize to offer. The first six (6) people who leave a comment about what kind of glass/cup I’m drinking out of during the event will win a print of Tzmet’s Window

 

                                                           

 

My bestie, Kim Sponaugle, www.picturekitchenstudio.com  designed and drew it for the front cover of my YA fantasy novel, Fairyeater. Isn’t it fabulously creepy?? 

 

Here it is on the cover!

 

                                                   

 

Yep, that’s the witch, Tzmet, who captures, dries, and eats fairies to gain their power. She also loves her bling, so when she goes out to hunt fairies or generally wreak havoc, she looks like (as my husband put it) she’s going to the prom.  haha! 

 

Here’s what the story is about:

All fifteen-year-old Akeela has ever wanted is an ordinary family who will love her. But the only mother she has ever known is the old hag, Krezma, who berates her night and day. Why did the old woman even take her in?

But Krezma knows her charge is no ordinary child. She can see the auras surrounding living things and can communicate with fairies. And the birthmark on her palm reveals a secret Krezma must hold close for the child’s safety.

A secret that the witch, Tzmet, hunts for night and day, drying and eating fairies for the power they contain. When Akeela discovers her fate lies in being the next Fairy Guardian, all hope for an ordinary life dissipates like the dreams they were. She must protect the fairies from the witch—and an even darker power that threatens them all.

Akeela is unwillingly thrust into an adventure that will not end until she decides to accept her fate and give up on her dream.

Maybe even her life.

 

                                                               

 

If you buy a copy of Fairyeater and enjoy it, please consider leaving a review on Goodreads or Amazon. Thanks!

 

                                                                   


COVER REVEAL ~ Water's Break
Thursday, August 3, 2023

Hey FFFers!  Boy, do I have a fabulous cover to show you. My friend and fellow Realmie, Sophia Hansen’s first novel, Water’s Break, has a super intriguing cover. Cover designer, Kirk DouPonce (also a friend and fellow Realmie), did his usual stellar job. I mean, really. It’s on my bucket list to have a cover designed by Kirk for one of my books!

                                                                 

But before I show off the cover, here’s a little about the book:

What if fear itself is the deadliest undercurrent of all? would do anything to avoid the hassles of her sister’s bonding ceremony—the wrap fittings, hairstyles, and braided fire coral—but she never imagined that the waters covering her planet would be broken. As the heavens rained fire and stone, mountains erupted from the sea and dry ground was birthed on the Deep, dividing the water—and the Olomi people—for the first time in their history.

In the wake of her world’s violent re-formation, Nica’s family is shattered. When the rookie Guardian leaves the safety of the Deep to find her sister, she is abducted by strange landwalkers who possess strength and technology beyond her imagination. Nica realizes that the disaster from above was by their design—a calculated plan to terraform the water planet and conquer her people. All Nica wants to do is find her sister and swim home to safety, but with the landwalkers closing in, escape may not be possible. And if Nica can’t save herself, how can she hope to save her sister—or her people?

 

WOW! Don’t you want to be able to read it RIGHT NOW??  

Well, you can’t. You have to wait.  Heh.

In the meantime, I’ll tease you … I mean, increase your interest by revealing the cover.
