Two Sisters Blog Tour and Guest Post #UrbanFantasy
A mortal woman’s search for her mother’s murderer drags her into an action-packed thriller revealing a secret, millennium-long war between supernatural creatures.
Two Sisters
Assassin’s Absolution Trilogy, Song 1
by Mark Wooden
Genre: Urban Fantasy Action
Two sisters. Two destinies. One terrifying fate.When Safia Edris’ surrogate mother is murdered on the night of the new millennium, the only clue is an eighteenth-century painting of two mysterious sisters.
But the painting has disappeared.
To uncover the truth of her mother’s death, Safia must find the painting and the answers that lie within. But her pursuit leads her into a conflict with supernatural creatures that manipulate the mortal world from the shadows.
Safia finds help in Adriana Dupré, a former member of a cult of vampire assassins. However, Adriana has an agenda that conflicts with Safia’s goal.
Ultimately, Safia and Adriana must solve the real mystery… Who are the two sisters?
Fans of Anne Rice’s “Vampire Chronicles,” William Peter Blatty’s “The Exorcist,” and Ian Fleming’s James Bond will love this thrilling adventure. If you enjoyed the intrigue, horror, and action of these classics, then you won’t want to miss “Two Sisters,” the first story in the “Assassin’s Absolution” trilogy of the “Shadowdance” action/ urban fantasy saga.
Buy it now and be the first to enjoy this intriguing, horrifying, and thrilling action/ urban fantasy saga!
“Two Sisters” author Mark Wooden was a quarterfinalist in the 2017 ScreenCraft Cinematic Short Story Contest for “Fall to Grace,” a short story from his “Shadowdance” urban fantasy saga.
The monster in his short horror film, “Where the Heart Bleeds,” earned the approval of horror maestro Clive Barker. Mark is also a member of the Horror Writer’s Association.
Mark’s command of the horror genre combines with his love of James Bond-style action to create stories that explore loyalty, manipulation, revenge, and redemption.
His day job involves setting up video equipment for concerts and corporate events. Ask him about when he worked for Jimmy Buffett and literally ran into Harrison Ford.

Can you, for those who don’t know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
Well, hello! I’m writer Mark Wooden!
I’m a video engineer for corporate events and concerts by trade, but I am a writer at heart, and whenever I can, I write. As a wee lad, I wanted to be a movie director like my favs: Francis Coppola, Alfred Hitchcock, and George Lucas.
To direct, I had to have stories to tell. That led me to write screenplays. In addition to the heroic trio of directors, comic book writers Chris Claremont, Larry Hama, and Frank Miller have influenced my storytelling style. I also draw inspiration from Clive Barker’s Books of Blood, the early Laurell K. Hamilton Anita Blake vampire hunter books, and action movies, primarily the James Bond series.
Eventually, I realized I didn’t have the money to produce my movies or the artistic skill to draw a comic book. A friend suggested I write a novel. That way, I can do what I want with no budgetary limits. I converted a screenplay into a novel; thus, the “Shadowdance” action urban fantasy saga was born!
Do you feel switching from a director to a writer was the right decision?
Don’t get it twisted; if the chance to direct comes up, I will take it. I’m working with a friend to produce a movie he’s directing. Once that’s over, I hope to get my horror movie in the queue. I have already directed a short horror film, Where the Heart Bleeds. At the Spooky Empire Convention in Tampa, I showed horror icon and personal favorite Clive Barker my monster, and he loved it. (Where the Heart Bleeds is on YouTube, by the way. Shameless plug, I know.)
But, for the time being, I’m going to keep writing. I have stories to tell, and a lack of a budget, cast, or crew won’t shackle me. It will be my story even when I direct, so I’ll still be writing.
Tell us something exciting that’s happened to you!
Besides the Clive Barker moment? This one was another celebrity moment when I toured with Jimmy Buffett. I moved to do something during the show, and someone blocked my path. I was going to yell at them, but when I looked up, I saw Indiana Han Solo Deckard Jones standing there with a Corona in hand. He apologized for being in the way, stepped back, and let me do my thing.
You label Two Sisters as an action urban fantasy. Care to elaborate?
I like the concept of urban fantasy, but I could never get into the first-person narration, nor the need to have the trope of the love triangle between the protagonist and two supernatural lovers. Instead, I made a third-person story that plays like a superhero comic book, with preternatural powers standing in for superpowers and none of that “will they or won’t they” stuff.
But for folks who need their social interactions, I have plenty of familial drama and tension between the various organizations and supernatural creatures in the secret war that is the Shadowdance.
Give us a brief rundown of your book, Two Sisters.
The murder of Safia’s mother connects to the disappearance of an enigmatic 18th-century painting of two sisters. Falling into an uneasy alliance with the vampire assassin named Adriana plunges Safia into the Shadowdance, a secret war between supernatural creatures. To find her mother’s murderer and survive the war, Safia and Adriana must solve the mystery: who are the two sisters?
How did you come up with the concept and characters for Two Sisters?
This one came from an incident in middle school. I had a photo of me as a younger child. Two bullies scribbled all over the picture. Now, back then, there weren’t digital copies. You lose the picture; it’s gone forever. That crushed little old Mark.
Years later, as I crafted the “Shadowdance” action urban fantasy saga, I developed the concept, “What if a vampire sought a painting that reminded them of their childhood, only to find it defaced, a metaphor for the destruction their existence as a vampire has left in her wake?” The rest of the story developed around that central conceit.
Thinking about your book, what kind of research did you do before you began writing?
When I start a book, I usually already have a rough idea of the story I want to tell, the protagonist, and the antagonist. My first research project is diving into the backstories of the characters.
For Two Sisters, my character Safia is an art historian and the assistant director at the Louvre. To get into her headspace, I researched art history, specifically the Romantic period. I also learned about the Louvre, its collection, and its layout. Because the story also deals with art forgery, I got a book on how forgers operate, the art community’s reaction to it, and preventive measures.
Now, please don’t ask me to give a lecture on any of that stuff. I suck at retaining said info. That’s why I took copious notes in One Note to draw on the info when needed. The idea is to give that aura of authenticity so the character(s) can look like the experts they are, and the audience can experience a world unfamiliar to them.
Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in Two Sisters?
I mentioned Safia. She’s the heart of the story and the audience’s way into the world of the Shadowdance. Whereas Safia will use her mind and empathy to solve a problem, Adriana comes at the problem like a wrecking ball for the forces of order. The two must learn from one another to work through the mystery of the Two Sisters painting.
Every great protagonist deserves a great antagonist. Two Sisters gives us two. First up is Fatale, leader of a cult of female vampire assassins. She’s hellbent on avenging her cult against Adriana, who has spent decades wiping them out. Fatale is as chaotic and childish as Adriana is ordered and mature.
Kara, Fatale’s second, does her mistress’s bidding but has a secret agenda that threatens to fracture the Shadowdance’s delicate balance.
Do you have any “side stories” about the characters?
Boy, do I! Safia grew so much that she’s getting a story within the second novel, By Virtue, Fall. Many of the elements I introduce in Two Sisters — the assassin cult and the warrior sorcerers called the Knights of Vyntari — will expand through new characters in other stories.
I aim to create a mosaic world of main stories told in trilogies, and side stories told through free eBook short stories or individual novels. You don’t have to read everything to know what’s happening, but if you want to immerse yourself in an action-urban fantasy world, I want to give you all the world-building I can. You can thank those nineteen-eighties comic books for that.
What can we expect from you in the future?
Two Sisters is out now, exclusively on Amazon. Later in the year, I’ll open that up to other booksellers. The sequel, By Virtue, Fall, will drop in the Winter of 2024. The last book in the trilogy, For Her Sins, drops in Winter 2025.
I also have it in me to write a series of short stories based on the concept of a sorority that’s a training ground for assassins. Somewhere in there, I’ll get back to writing some Star Wars and comic book fanfiction. I do that as a palate cleanser to beat back writer’s block.
Convince us why you feel Two Sisters is a must-read.
Genre mashups are always great fun. Just look at Blade and Brotherhood of the Wolf. For Two Sisters, I’m mashing the terror of The Exorcist with the intrigue of The Vampire Chronicles and then wrapping them both in the action of a James Bond movie.
With heartfelt characters, exotic locales, and immersive supernatural lore, horror, mystery, and action readers can lose themselves for a few hours in the world of the Shadowdance saga via Two Sisters!

Excerpt – Tales of Erana: Just One Mistake
Excerpt from Tales of Erana: Just One Mistake by A. L. Butcher
Darkness oozed lazily in the remainder of the room, nosing into corners, under furniture, and behind Coel, unseen, part of it detached. “That was quite a performance, bard. You have some talent, and not just your music. Although your judgement is flawed, it’s never wise to steal from a thief,” the voice was smooth, like liquid velvet and very sure of itself.
Coel’s hand moved towards the dagger nestling in his belt; it would not be the first time he had been called on to defend himself, although that was how he had ended up in this mess he thought bitterly. Just one mistake, then another and now, it would seem, another.
“I do not know of what you speak! I am not a thief.” His brain caught up and he continued, “How did you get into my room? The door was locked. I’m not a bloody fool.” Coel could hear his own heart pounding. There was something about this man which frightened him. He felt like a mouse beneath the gaze of a cat. Perhaps the hangman’s noose would have been the better option.
The slate-grey cloak swirled around boots of ebony leather and the cowled figure chuckled. “That lock was barely a moment’s work. I must have a word with the owner of this place about his security. I have yet to find a door in Erana which will not yield to me. You may as well remove your hand from that blade, or would you bet your life you are swifter than the Thiefmaster? I doubt it, boy, I doubt it. Believe me when I say you would be dead before that knife left its scabbard. It would be a pity to waste such talent, would it not?”
Coel removed his hand from the dagger, his sense telling him that continuing to draw it would be a terminal decision. Instead, he placed his hand on the table and the voice breathed into his ear, Coel shivered, he had not heard the man move.
“I thought not. Sensible lad, if a lying one. This too can be a skill which can save your life, if it is used correctly and with assurance,” Darius, the Thiefmaster told him.
This menacing shape was right behind him, and Coel began to turn, opening his mouth to protest; he found a gloved hand on his jaw, firm but not unduly painful. “Curious are we not? This may sometimes serve you well. As for other occasions, it is wise to accept things as they are, this is one such occasion… Coel.”
The bard caught his breath, how did this man know his name? The sweat began to pool in his back, making his shirt stick unpleasantly to his skin. Had this man been hired to kill him? Had his mistake finally caught him up? Yet as Coel’s brain frantically grasped at any hope and his fingers tried to overrule his brain and reach for the dagger he realised the man had said he was a thief. A robbery, that was not so bad. It would not be the first time.
“This is not a merely social call; you are honoured for the Master of Thieves does not always test a potential recruit’s skills for himself.”
“I usually charge for my skills, music and other kinds if that is what you prefer. I can be flexible and my tastes are…varied. Perhaps just this once I might offer them for free. Take the coin and the trinkets, take it all.” Coel’s brain finally caught up with the conversation, “What do you mean potential recruit?”
Please note – contains scenes of sex and violence.

He believes his role is vital to the realms of Mirra’kelan finally knowing peace.

The Immortal Rose Wyndham – Blog Tour #HistoricalFantasy #RomanticFantasy
This romantic adventure unfolds over 250 years, where the transcendent force of music and the belief in a higher purpose shape a narrative of mystery, magic, and miraculous encounters.
The Immortal Rose Wyndham: The Beginning
The Moon Singer Book 4
by B. Roman
Genre: Historical Romantic Fantasy Adventure
From 18th Century France to 20th Century San Francisco, the Promise of the Rose Crystal both empowered and mystified Grace Moreau and her daughter Rose Wyndham.
They fought for women’s rights, suffered prejudice and conspiracy theorists, and blazed their way through a male-dominated world to define their own roles in society. Through it all they poignantly resisted romantic desire, for if they fell in love the power of the Rose Crystal would be impotent and they – and their lovers – would die.
A romantic adventure spanning 250 years, B. Roman’s ‘The Immortal Rose Wyndham’ is a story where the power of music, and the belief in a purpose greater than oneself, provide the mystery and magic that creates miracles.
**The Immortal Rose Wyndham: The Beginning can be read as a standalone and/or prequel to the rest of the books in the series.
Amazon * Apple * B&N * Google * Kobo * Books2Read * Bookbub * Goodreads
**Don’t miss the rest of the collection!**
Every fantastic adventure, every romance, every heartwarming family story, every magical moment.
All four books in B. Roman’s The Moon Singer, a series of fantasy novels, now available in one volume. This collection also includes the prequel novella, Before the Boy, as a bonus.
https://mybook.to/MoonSingerCollection
B. Roman – in her own words:
Since childhood, I’ve been torn between two worlds: writing and singing. It’s difficult to serve “two masters,” as they say, but I was compelled to do so. When I was not singing, I was writing; when I was not writing, I was singing. I’ve learned, for me, that one creative expression nurtures the other. Much of my writing has a musical theme somewhere in the plot, or is the plot. Whether it’s in my non-fiction writing about the power of music itself, in children’s picture books and in writing music and lyrics for songs.
It is natural, therefore, that my adventure series (The Moon Singer) has its roots in musical theories and metaphors, entwined with the magic and mystery of metaphysical concepts and matters of ethics, faith, compassion, love, and heroism. Music provokes universal emotions and memories, and giving my characters a musical talent and/or identity enriches them and the reader experience.
*B. Roman’s books include the 5-book Moon Singer Series, two suspense thrillers (Whatever Became of Sin?; A Man’s Face), and (as Barbara Roman) three children’s books: Hubert in Heaven, Alicia & The Light Bulb People in Star Factory 13, and The Prince Who Was A Piccolo.
