SECRETS OF URTHIS is a new action-packed fantasy adventure that takes you on a mesmerizing tale of self-discovery and enchantment. And it's on sale for 99 cents from July 11-16!
BLURB:
Samuel IRWIN Miner grew up on a lonely mountain top, his small and ordinary life ruled by his father and grandfather. Over the years they mistreat the boy who has special talents and certain feminine ways. Now the nineteen-year-old has seen his father do the unspeakable, and now he has been left bloodied and alone to die deep in the forest by that same man. Irwin pulls himself out of the mud and escapes, but from that day on he will never be the same.
Irwin sets off to explore the planet of Urthis where he slowly realizes his Ferro-kinetic powers help him do more than mint coins, they heal him from death knells and keep those around him grounded. He must learn to survive the wrath of frightening specters that live in the shadows and darkness, avoid creatures who harness the elements, and fight beings who can shapeshift into anything. Only after meeting a beautiful Telepath and a ruggedly handsome shapeshifter does Irwin begin to uncover the secrets of Urthis.
Join The Metalist’s Journey and follow Irwin as he navigates the ruthless world of Urthis—a place where Telepaths rule over all; where shapeshifters can lurk in the shadows or trail you from the air; element yielding people can steal your breath or turn you into ash—a world that Irwin’s people are not native to. But he keeps a secret, a power so unique that could change Urthis forever, and if he were to be found out—if someone with evil intentions were to get their hands on him—the fate of the world could be at stake.

Hello everyone,I write under the name, Richard S. Thomas
I've just published my first novel, an action and adventure fantasy entitled Earther Wizard: The Rise of Colin Duncan. So far, all reviews on Amazon.com have been five stars. Here is the back cover text.
What if I told you a parallel planet occupies the same space as the Earth? A planet filled with dragons, wyverns, wood nymphs, wizards, and . . . Magic.
Colin Duncan is a 27-year-old former Marine with no prior knowledge of this place. He is introduced to magic when a wizard steps into his bedroom through a portal in the middle of the night, intent on killing him.
In a running battle across two continents, Colin must decipher a series of mysterious images in his mind. All while being pursued by wizards—who see him as a threat to their power—and the fearsome, shapeshifting, sentient, creatures who assist them. Colin's only ally is Willowmae, a resourceful wood nymph full of surprises.
To survive, Colin must beat his adversaries at their own game, on their own turf. To do that, he must become the most powerful wizard on two worlds.
He must become the Earther Wizard in a journey filled with discovery, betrayal, friendship, and no small amount of pain.
This is already too long so to find out more about me and my book google Richard S. Thomas, author.
Thanks for your time.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
It is a time of peace in the empire of Leomeria. A thousand years ago, humankind defeated the Khar Uzad, the brutish remnant of a once magical and thriving civilization. Humanity pushed them to the other side of the Thyrgal Mountains where the city of Drendham has held the line ever since. From the outer darkness however, an evil and magical force which until now, slept, has been awakened by someone within the kingdom. A ranger knight, Aeris of Braedon, has been unwittingly chosen as the sacrificial hero. His fate has been tied to Neera, an apprentice sorceress and Leomir, the orphan prince. They have been set on a path to their destiny, led by a magical force they do not fully understand entangled in a legend come-to-life which is very old and very powerful. Their path is laden with dark foes, unlikely friends and answers to questions long forgotten. They will need every ounce of will and even more faith if they wish to learn the secrets of the Ghosts of the Five Realms.

In this story of magic, conflict, adventure, and unparalleled passion, will these young friends choose what's right for their kingdoms or for themselves?

Hello Louise,
I wrote the books to be stand-alone and can be read individually and out of order. It does help to understand the history but not required.

Happy to posting and chatting on GR with everyone. I have a post-apocalyptic novel available, The Fortress, under T.A. Styles. I have an upcoming series, Shift, which will launch in January. This will be adult fantasy fiction. I'll probably have more to contribute in the fantasy genre when Shift releases. I'm not a huge fan of intense/fantasy world building, probably because I don't have a huge creative talent or interest in it, but I love regular stories set in the real world that also contain otherworldly or fantasy elements or design.
Sounds like an interesting tale, I'll go check it out!Carolyn

I have a giveaway that will last until 12/7.
https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...
WHOOSH!
My new fantasy romance book ( Waiting Eyes On The Road ) coming soon
I'm not sure if I can post this here but my book is fantasy and currently using book sprout for reviews if anyone is open to reviewing my book
Hi everyone,I published my first fantasy books last year but being an introvert and recluse, find it difficult to share my thoughts outside my books. So here is my attempt to get a bit better known! Anyway, the Keeper Clans Chronicles are a series where a diverse group of university students discover they are portal keepers. By travelling through a portal you can choose to become anything or anyone. You can't be immortal or do harm but other than that, the sky is the limimt. Of course that went wrong :-)
In the prequel The Ancient Realms https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... you can read how previous Keepers tried to close them down. They missed some and today's Keepers need to catch up with their ancestry and figure out how to stop the increased abuse.
In the first book The Rediscovered Realms https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... the new Keepers can be followed trying to figure out what to do while they are confronted with a race of vicious ground-dwelling creatures.
The second book, The Twin Realms will (hopefully) be published at the end of this year.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed creating this world. There are two more episodes to come.
Cheers
I.C.
