About the author
Shannon Mayer
135 books7,320 followersA long time ago, in a galaxy far away, I was born into a family of Star Wars nuts. I have a lot of siblings (somewhere I lost count but I think there was more than could be numbered on one hand) and being one of the young padawans I was subjected to Star Wars marathons, on a regular basis. If you've read any of my books you'll see there is often a reference to said movies as a small homage to my upbringing. May the force be with you and all that jazz.
I started writing when I realized I didn't want to grow up not believing in magic, or not believing in creatures everyone else said didn't exist. That being said, I have never seen a fairy, unicorn or dragon. I had a neighbour who swore they fed the leprechauns in their garden, but I never caught the little buggers no matter how long I lay in wait. (And consequently had to help the neighbours plant new flowers to replace those I killed waiting for the leprechauns to show their faces.)
Along the way, I found my husband who is the rock that keeps me from floating away into my dreams, and we have a little boy who is the centre of our world. Living on a farm keeps us busy (as if the writing wasn't enough) and I have more than my share of stories about wrestling with cows, helping birth calves and ending up in the creek during the process, falling in the mud (we'll call it mud but we all know that on a farm, mud is rarely mud) and chasing escaped livestock in the hopes the four legged convicts don't make it to the highway.
I've taken up archery, and the goal is to move into horseback archery in time (you know, when I can hit the target on a consistent basis) and when no one is looking, I love to bake (this doesn't happen often as it's hard to keep the sweet treats in stock with two boys in the house.)
As to what's coming next for me? More stories (since those never stop inside my head, I might as well share them with all of you!) and more adventures. Pretty much, when the fancy strikes, I'll jump on it. Leap before you look I'm sure that motto was created for me.
Or was that . . . think big and dream bigger, ready, set, pull the trigger . . . yeah. That one is a good one too. But only if you have a gun. And are hunting elephants. Which is not cool because of so many reasons. Let's stick with the first one with an addendum.
Leap before you look and let your dreams carry you on their wings. And that, my friends, is me in a nutshell.

REVIEW: FUSION ANTHOLOGY
I really love both anthologies and "boxed sets," because of the range of authorship and topic. I don't see how any aficionado of fantasy or paranormal could not love FUSION: 9 great bestselling authors offering 9 exciting stories! Makes a reader want to shut the doors, unplug the phones, dim all the lights, and relax. .into fantasy.

I haven't had the pleasure of reading the other authors before, but I love anything written by Denise Grover Swank. Her book, "Here", is a fantastic YA Novel that will grab ahold of your imagination and pull you into new worlds!
Some authors find switching genres difficult. However, Denise delivered a YA novel as if she's been writing them all along. I've spent so much time bragging on her work to my son, and I can't wait for him to read this so we can discuss it. Talking about books is a commonality we have always shared, and my admiration for Denise's work has made him want to read something of hers.
Julia is a fabulous character heartbroken by the loss of her best friend after a tragic car wreck. Survivors guilt leaves her barely functioning until the most popular boy in school notices her despite her attempts to be invisible. What follows is a whirlwind of confusion and parallel worlds. If she travels there she can escape the mess her life has become … or can she?

This is definitely one of those don't miss anthologies. I am a huge fan of all these authors on their own but to get so many of their fantastic stories put together in one place is amazing. If you are a newcomer to the genre or any of these authors it's a good starter pack. You will end up one clicking the rest of their work. Just one taste of Fusion and you will be hooked!

Fusion anthology
Would recommend this to anyone preparing to buy or read this. Every book in this anthology was great except one and it was just good. I gave it five stars because of it.

I only read Elementally Priceless by Shannon Mayer because I love, love, love the Rylee series.
