To celebrate “Drop Everything And Read Day" (D.E.A.R.) the Fantasy and Science-Fiction Network (#FSFnet), of which I am a proud member,
is having an excellent book/ebook sale April 10 – 12, 2015 on Amazon.
For a list of participating authors, free and discounted books and links to the sale on Amazon, go to FSFnet’s website page.
When and what is D.E.A.R.?
D.E.A.R. programs have been held nationwide on April 12th in honor of Beverly
Cleary’s birthday since she first wrote about D.E.A.R. in Ramona Quimby, Age 8 (pages 40-41). Inspired by letters
from readers sharing their enthusiasm for the D.E.A.R. activities implemented
in their schools, Mrs. Cleary decided to give the same experience to Ramona and
her classmates. As D.E.A.R. has grown in popularity and scope, the program has
expanded to span the entire month of April.
To spread the celebration,
I'm offering Seeking a Scribe,
the first of my Enchanted
Bookstore Legends, at a sale price of 99¢ during April 10-12.
Get involved with the adventure, magic, dragons, wizards, and romance!
Available on Amazon.
Seeking a Scribe: Enchanted
Bookstore Legend One by Marsha A. Moore
Genre: epic fantasy romance
Description:
Lyra McCauley is a writer and
loves fantasy novels, but until she opens a selection from bookstore owner
Cullen Drake, she has no idea he’s a wizard character who lives a double life
inside that volume…or the story’s magic will compel her from the edge of
depression to adventure, danger, and love.
His gift to Lyra, the Book of Dragonspeir, was actually her
copy, misplaced years ago. Lost in her pain following divorce and death, she
fails to recognize him as her childhood playmate from the fantasyland.
Friendship builds anew. Attraction sparks. But Lyra doubts whether a wizard is
capable of love. She’s torn—should she protect her fragile heart or risk new
love?
Opening
the book’s cover, she confronts a quest: save Dragonspeir from destruction by
the Black Dragon before he utilizes power of August’s red moon to expand his strength
and overthrow the opposing Imperial Dragon. Lyra accepts the challenge, fearing Cullen will perish if
evil wins. Along with magical animal guides, Cullen helps her through many
perils, but ultimately Lyra must use her own power…and time is running out.
Series Description:
The Enchanted Bookstore Legends are
about Lyra McCauley, a woman destined to become one of five strong
women in her family who possess unique magical abilities and serve as
Scribes in Dragonspeir. The Scribes span a long history, dating from
1200 to present day. Each Scribe is expected to journey through
Dragonspeir, both the good and evil factions, then draft a written
account. Each book contains magic with vast implications.
Lyra
was first introduced to Dragonspeir as a young girl, when she met the
high sorcerer, Cullen Drake, through a gift of one of those enchanted
books. Using its magic, he escorted her into the parallel world of
Dragonspeir. Years later, she lost that volume and forgot the world and
Cullen. These legends begin where he finds her again—she is thirty-five,
standing in his enchanted bookstore, and Dragonspeir needs her.
When
Lyra reopens that enchanted book, she confronts a series of quests
where she is expected to save the good Alliance from destruction by the
evil Black Dragon. While learning about her role, Lyra and Cullen fall
in love. He is 220 years old and kept alive by Dragonspeir magic. Cullen
will die if Dragonspeir is taken over by the evil faction…Lyra becomes
the Scribe.
