Heart of the Storm Mini Prize Giveaway

 
 

 
Hello again guys...
 
As you know, Heart of the Storm is one of a number of magical stories that will form part of the For the Love of the Gods anthology, soon to be released by Ishtar Press.
Here's the blurb:
 
Love has eluded James Foster for many years. But that’s not surprising, for his work as a marine geologist regularly takes him around the world. A highly principled man, he is passionate for the truth and for the environment, but such endeavors leave little time for a private life.

After blowing the whistle on his former employer’s outrageous work practices, which would have endangered the staff and the ecosystem they were operating in, James finds himself without a job and with his reputation in tatters. Forced into isolation, he is hounded by his former employer and the press....

His passion for what is right draws the attention of a mysterious woman. Someone—it appears—with her own agenda!

Will she help him survive the coming storm or ensure he goes under?
 
 
In honor of the fact that this is the first time I've ever qualified to appear in an anthology, I thought it would be a nice idea to hold a little mini prize giveaway.
 
Without giving anything of the plot away, my story has a Norse God/Goddess flavour to it, but in a modern-day setting. So, I thought it might be nice for the mini prizes to reflect that.
And yes - I said prizes. Because there will be two!
 Second place will receive a copy of the eBook itself.
But
The first place prize winner won't just receive an eBook, they'll also receive this stunning Viking Nordic Trefot Pendant too!
 
I hope you like it

Enjoy :)

A Weight Off my Shoulders.

 
Phew! What a busy few months I've had. I've been completing the final book of the Cambion Journals - Embrace of the Incubus. Finalizing the edits of the first book of that series itself - Rage of Augustus, and seeing it safely into its launch. And, my publishers at Ishtar Press, have also kept me occupied with the edits for Heart of the Storm, a short story that will appear in a "Love of the Gods" anthology.
 
On top of that, I've been putting one or two articles together for Astronaut.com, and, getting well into a few experimental pieces for several Sci-Fi magazines. (More to follow).
 
And now?
 

Let's just say - I'm going to relax a bit...
 
But after that?
 
I've got the plot map to beef out for the next and final Guardians Trilogy, which will see their story come to the close. I have two major concepts I'm laying out the framework for - (Quite excited)
.
One is a stand alone Steampunk style Sci-Fi adventure inspired by the lost 9th Legion of Rome, and the other is going to be a paranormal fantasy adventure about Tai'Jian Knights.
I can't wait.
 
But in the mean time, don't forget.
Book 1 of the Cambion journals - Rage of Augustus is out now
 


Here are a few links...
Amazon:
 
Barnes and Noble:
 
And, October will see the release of the second book in the Guardian Series - cunningly entitled, Guardians.
(Cover release soon)
 
So, if you're looking for advice as to what to read next, just listen to the sage advice of this old master when it comes to my latest release...
 

As you know - Yoda is rarely wrong - and he has exceedingly good taste :)
 
You take care now.
