Futhark Chronicles Have Arrived!


Happy New Year! This year is special to me as my very first fantasy novel has been released. The Keepers of Sulbreth, Book# 1 of The Futhark Chronicles, is now available in all bookstores choosing to carry it and on Amazon and other online retail stores.

This first book in an epic fantasy introduces readers to the island kingdom of Futhark and all the complex characters involved in, what else, saving the world. That is what epic fantasy is about, saving the world from evil and sometimes from ourselves.

It's so difficult resisting the temptation to check those Amazon numbers constantly. One number I have enjoyed peeking in on at the number of copies in stock. Not that I know the exact number but at least twice now Amazon has posted their little red-lettered warning that only a few are left and more are on their way. Hopefully that doesn't mean they only had two to begin with!

So I hope this new year brings moments of peace when people can stop worrying about war and money for a short time and relax with a good book (mine, please). I wish for work for all those capable so they have money to buy books and the hours to enjoy them.

Thanks, Helen. I only wish there was an actual way to keep track of sales. I would be staring at this computer screen all day. LOL

Thanks, Haleine. I saw it on the shelf at Barnes and Noble this morning. I haven't seen it at Borders yet, but I'm working on it.
