FIRST CALL is live!

The first Farthane story went live today. It’s one part ancient cataclysm, one part mystical order and one part little girl with kitten. For my friends at Writers of the Future, this was my Q1 entry.

First Call: A Farthane Story

“When the Call comes, it must be obeyed.”

Since the time of shadow and ash, the citizens of Eriyu have been guided by the Judicars, a mystical order devoted to Truth. Jerra, a young initiate, is ready to face the final trial that will allow her to become a full-fledged Judicar. But Truth isn’t easy to see, especially when her own mentor turns against her.

Length: approx. 6,200 words, including a short novel excerpt
Genre: fantasy, action & adventure, strong female characters
Market: written for adults but YA-friendly (no swearing, no sex)

P.S. If you’re looking for the Farthane website, it will be live soon. For now, feel free to hang out here.   🙂

WOTF Results and Five Bargain Brain Books

Quickie post!

1) All Q1 finalists for the Writers of the Future contest have been called, and I am not one of them. I’m super-excited for them, and not at all disappointed that I didn’t make the list. Next time! I’m hoping for the press release / blog post that lists all of the awards from Honorable Mention on up sometime this week. Maybe even today!

2) For those of you with a Kindle app and an interest in brain stuff, today’s Kindle Daily Deal is a good one. Five brain books for $1.99 each.  The link was a monster, so I’ve shortened it: http://amzn.to/KXTvDj

Happy writing!
