Clinging to the bar running along the front of the platform, Sergeant Osric has a lot of time to think about how he got there. About how he’s shooting through a forest on a rocket powered train platform. About how a grinning thief is clinging to the same bar beside him. Most of all, though, about how he’s heading for Bytarend; a town no-one has heard from in almost a hundred years. There has to be a reasonable explanation for their silence, after all. Osric tries to think of a reason that doesn’t end in his horrible death…

…he can’t come up with one.


Dark twist on faeries. For Shade, a chance meeting with a powerful Teleen Faery warrior who wields electrical currents and blue fires along his skin, has her joining him on a treacherous mission for the good Seelie Faerie Court across the land of Faerie.

With so many humans focussed on snakes on July 16 each year, World Snake Day, the snake god Calebius gains more power. Power that builds over the years until one day, 16 July 2013, he’s finally powerful enough to free himself of the curse that, millennia ago, rendered him incapable of achieving physical form.

Virtual Book Tour – Day 9: Guest Post on Why Reading is Important


 
Today’s tour host is reader, writer and Spanish teacher Cinta Garcia de la Rosa. Cinta will be sharing a guest post from me about why reading is important, even if it’s fiction.
Reading is a great way to expand one’s horizons and discover a great many fascinating things, even if they’re not found in our world. Fantasy is the best form of escapism, since it takes us to strange new worlds and introduces us to a host of interesting characters, fantastic beasts and magical escapades. While reading a fantasy book, you should be transported into another world and share in all of its wonders. Although adventure books, who-done-its, thrillers and romance novels also free us from our humdrum mundane existence, fantasy and science-fiction books offer the most uniqueness.

To read the rest of the post, please visit Cinta’s blog, and don’t forget to leave a comment if you have any thoughts on the topic.
