Why Should Readers Read Your
Books
First, let me say how much I
love epic fantasy. Truly, I love the
long, complex stories with so many characters (whose names tend to be
surprisingly similar) that I need an index and even a series of family trees to
keep them all straight. I also enjoy
writing amazingly, intensely complex tales but I have found that not everybody
can read them. Not everybody can get
lost in the spider web adventures of David Eddings or George R.R. Martin or
J.R.R. Tolkien. Most of my beta readers
are those people. My friends and family
are those people. Working Moms and Dads who
have very little time to devote themselves let alone to reading. That’s where the Emerald Seer Series comes
in. Fantasy, magic, and even a little
romance rolled into a lighter read where characters names don’t run together,
the plotlines are easy to follow, easily picked up and set down for hours (or
even days) without ever losing your place but still with enough surprise and
intrigue to be interesting. I wanted a
series that could be read for fifteen minutes here and there without losing its
potency.
That said I’ve composed a
list of the top five reasons to read the Emerald Seer Series.
#1 Strong female leads –
aside from my heroine, Storm Sullivan, there are some serious players with
strength, humor, and talents to rival any of the men. I wanted to create a world where the women
could defend themselves as much as lean on their men. Angeline Corsova (introduced briefly in RYDER
ON THE STORM and the main character in WHISKEY, MYSTICS, AND MEN) is part fae
and full warrior. Without giving too
much away, give that woman a sword and let her go to work. Though she is pursued by at least three men,
Angeline puts her love life on a back burner to follow her own personal code of
honor. Sophia Bedeaux is soft spoken and
at times meek but she evolves into a force to be reckoned with. Throw in some witches, a line of seers, and a
Goddess to round out this stunning female class.
