Book 5 coming this Winter!

Hey everyone!

So, I wanted to let you all know that I will be taking a break from promoting over the next month and half in order to get Book 5 ready for publishing. I'm gonna be doing this thing DIY/Indie publishing (again), but that is not a bad thing at all! I've had a lot of success with the independent publishing scene.

If ANY of you are interested in doing a Cover Reveal for your blogs or any kind of author interview collaboration leading up to the February release date, please reach out to me here or via email. I would really appreciate all the help I can get doing this thing!

I have worked with most of you in the past and I cannot say enough about how much you've helped me, so I look forward to getting the cover out there in early February alongside my bookish friends!

Talk to you all soon (hopefully) and keep a wary eye out for portals this winter,
Brett Salter (he/him)

The Critics Have Spoken!!

Well, it's official! "The Search For Synergy" is up for ANOTHER award!! These just keep rolling in during 2021! And the series only gets better with each book.

The Search For Synergy (The Talisman Series Book 1) by Brett Salter

N.N. Light nominated my book as a finalist for their annual, 5-star review, best book of the year. "The Search For Synergy" is up for the coming of age category, which is so awesome because when I wrote it, I didn't really consider it a coming of age novel, but the readers do, and that's what is important. I am so thankful to even be considered for this prestigious award that I'll be wearing a genuine smile all the way up until they decide the winner on Thursday, December 16th.

If we win, I'll be sure to let you guys know. Here's the link to see the other nominations which will go up on December 9th. I will post again once it's live:

Everyone stay safe/warm and keep a wary eye out for portals,

"The Search For Synergy" 5-star Review.

I feel like I am repeating myself over and over again posting blogs about the 5-star reviews of "The Search For Synergy". But it sure is nice to get them. It makes me feel like I am doing something right for the MG fantasy community. Please check out Solitude and Books's review below to see how this self proclaimed curious soul rated my book:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Also, be sure to check her out on IG for tons of recommendations. Seriously, like she posts bookish stuff EVERY day! @solitudeandbooks.

You know you wanna get on board with my series too. Don't be scared! It's all in good, clean fun and escapes from real life!

5-star Review for Book Three

Fellow author, Blake Vanier finished my third book and gave it an amazing 5-stars. Please check out his review below and check out Blake's amazing series too:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Orphans of New Lur

So, I guess at this point, my Talisman Series has pretty much lived up to what the majority of readers think. Fantastic action, memorable characters, and fun, easy reads. Seems like EVERYONE who doesn't take reading too seriously and supports indie authors is enjoying the heck outta my series. If you haven't started it yet, why not give it a try? Don't be the last one to the party.

Stay safe and keep a wary eye out for portals,

Wanna Watch My Instagram Author Interview

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CSx3Pa7J...

Hey all you Talisman Series fans out there. Any of you that missed the original video interview with BookishWeeb Olivia, I've got the link right here so you can go watch it!

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CSx3Pa7J...

She is such a professional asking important questions while I spit out nonsensical sentence fragments, drink like 3 glasses of water, and use the word "cool" about 100 times. If you can't tell, I was very nervous.

Go watch! It's hilarious, and it will give you some insight into the world-building and character tropes of my Talisman Series. I dare you to not laugh once!

Keep a wary eye out for portals,
Brett Salter
