Plot Twists

by R.A. Gates, Karen Blakely, R.P. Gmelin

Down forgotten alleyways and quiet streets, mysterious bookstores only reveal themselves to people who need the special volumes on their shelves. People who are lonely, people who are lost, or people who want an unforgettable experience, find themselves inexplicably drawn to particular works. The keepers of the books, just as strange as the stores themselves, will ask:

"Where would you venture inside the Phantom's Opera?"

"Have you dreamed of sitting at Arthur's Round Table?"

"Would you dare to meet Frankenstein?"

Follow nine authors as they weave tales of characters finding exactly what they need, expected or not, inside the pages of a book. With stores across the ages explored: from the heroes of the Iliad, to the madness of Alice's Wonderland, to the horror of H.P. Lovecraft, adventure awaits.

So get your favorite French wine, or heart-shaped tart, and dive into a good book.

Literally.

About the author

A single mother of 3, I love reading urban fantasy, especially young adult. The characters are less jaded and the romances are usually include the excitement of first loves. I decided to write the urban fantasy story that I wanted to read most, which includes a strong female protagonist, a believable and slow building romance and a dynamic villain. I hope I succeeded.

[R.A. Gates]

Here's a teaser from one of the stories:

Kim had been teasing me...about this crush I had on the Phantom of the Opera. But sometimes a girl likes a good crush on a fictional character. They're very low maintenance, and it's not like it means anything.

Who can't relate. Who is your fictional crush?
