A Story About a Book in a Book

Posted:

The Game of Time cover imageThe Book of Time records the God and Goddess’ moves on the eternal Game of Time, deciding the fate of humans and their world.

Every day, the God and Goddess play and the Book of Time records. It is only a matter of time until someone makes a mistake and the magic of the Gods goes haywire.

The Game of Time, a fantasy story about gods and their book, is finally out stand alone.

You can buy it here as an ebook. I hope you enjoy this book in a book in a book in a book. ^_~

If you are wondering if this story is any good, Tangent Online reviewed it as a part of the anthology Fiction River: No Humans Allowed, and this is what they said about my story:

“The story is interesting and well written…”
—Tangent Online

That was all about this month’s release. This summer have been full of them.

Coming up is the first picture from my first month in Japan during this one year+ stay. I also hope you like the changes to my monthly entertainment review posts.

There are so much great content to experience, both on screens, on paper (books), and out there in the quote/unquote real world.

I hope my additions to it (books and recommendations) brightens your day.

New Options for Reading My Stories AND a New One

Posted:

I have a lot to tell you all about today, so I won’t be including all the descriptions because that would make it loooong. But I’ll be linking to the book pages on here so you can get the full info, easy peasy.

Cover image for Angels Demise by Felicia FredlundLet’s start with the new:

Angel’s Demise, a dark urban fantasy short story is now available as ebook that you can buy here.

Tamari Shadow-Wing, guardian angel, watches over and guides Nick Corn. His life took a turn for the worse and he leaned into it.

She tries desperately to convince him to stop his downward spiral, but he isn’t listening.

Can she make him listen or will he become another lost soul?

And from here, I’ll go to Magic and Sacrifice which is finally available as a stand alone short story instead of only in the anthologies Fiction River: Last Stand that I co-edited with Dean Wesley Smith (to find out more about his fiction, go here instead) and Fiction River Presents: Writers Without Borders.

Cover image for Magic and Sacrifice by Felicia FredlundI especially recommend Fiction River: Last Stand—it is full of great short stories—but I’m also glad my short story is out by itself for anyone just interested in that story. On that note, here is the description for it:

Two countries at war. Only a magical barrier between them keeps the fighting to one day a year.

Maora and her husband fights on that one day, fighting for the country that creates the barrier every year.

Bloodied and hurt, they barely keep the tide at bay.

Will they fail and doom their country? Is there a way to end the war?

But there is more! Two new bundles came out this spring and I haven’t had a chance to mention them here on the blog.

Cover image for Cat Tales Issue #3 bundleCat Tales Issue #3 included my short story When She Gained Her Soul. As you can probably guess, all stories in this bundle have cats in them. My story happen to be science fiction, but the other stories cover other genres.

So if you are a huge fan of cats (and haven’t picked up my story yet), you can find more info and a buy link here.

Last but not least is the other bundle called Eclectica. It has stories covering a lot of different genres. My story in it is Dear Brother. A mainstream short story about grief.

The best part of this bundle was all the promotion done around it and you can find me showing up in interviews at several places, plus at a virtual potluck put together by Jackie Keswick.

Barbara G. Tarn interviewed me for her author blog. You might recognize her name since she edited the anthology Nightly Bites which I was in.

Cover for Eclectica bundleThen read the interview Sherry D. Ramsey did with me, she had really good questions.

Lastly, the curator of this bundle A. L. Butcher interviewed me for their site Library of Erana.

Full details about Eclectica along with a buy link can be found here.

Before I bid adieu, I’d like to once again thank everyone who voted in the poll about what you enjoy reading on my blog. It really does help me shape what I do here.

I hope you have a lot of nice weather for the rest of your summer (or winter)!

Sins of a Mage is Published!

Posted:

The third story in the Sorceress Islands series is finally published—Sins of a Mage!

SinsOfAMage-ebook-cover-webThis story follows directly after Burning Bright, the second story in the series. I’m so excited for this one, because the series is really taking shape.

Here’s the description:

Twelve year old Marii cares for the burns on her father, Bridge Guardian Mikolas, after they let a mage’s family escape to avoid execution. No one comes to relieve her hurt father and she can’t leave the bridge unprotected.

On Cyara, one of the islands in the Sorceress Islands group, mages are hated and executed. The bridge is the only way for a discovered mage to escape from the wrath of the Temple. By letting a friend cross, Marii and her father have exposed themselves and their whole family to the Temple’s wrath.

When the Temple finds out a mage escaped, someone will pay the price.

For buy links check out the book page.

I hope you enjoy this continuing tale of the Sorceress Islands!

PS. The next story in the Sorceress Islands series is Petals of Fate. I’m going into the second draft when that project comes up on my To-Do list next. I hope for a release in early 2016.
