I am, once again, going to note how baffled I am that the corporate chain bookstore has invited me back for a THIRD signing event, and the “favourite local bookstore” refused to carry my book. Because apparently local genre fiction doesn’t sell.

Anyway… I just got invited back for a third signing event and I landed the Saturday before Father’s Day, so pretty stoked.

(Left) The cover of Starwitch, by Owen Tyme. In the background is a red, orange and white nebula. In the foreground is a line drawing of a red spotted newt, in white. The lines of the newt are outlined in black, to help it stand out. The interior is red, with an appearance similar to stained glass. (Right) In the background is a red and orange galaxy, with a blue core, which bears a resemblance to an eye. It has the following text over it: “First you turn my dog against me, then you steal my ship’s core? What’s next, pulling my teeth?” “We didn’t ask for this! You attacked us! Why don’t you just let us go?” “I might as well cover myself in tartar sauce, then go swimming in shark infested waters! My lieutenants would tear me to shreds, just the same!” (Bottom) https://books2read.com/TymeStarwitch

I think back to the last year before I published Book-1 of Kovenlore Chronicles and how time seemed to stand still, and then, suddenly, it was the day it released.

Since then, it seems as though time is moving ever faster, or is that me aging? Both.

I just know that it seems like yesterday when I published the first book and soon I’ll pass the midpoint. Time is strange.

Be everwell.

On the right is the book’s cover, the negative image a golden, hand drawn map showing mountains and rivers. On top of that is the title, Trust in the Forgotten, written in a stylish text that’s turquoise with black outlining. Between the first three words and the last below them are eyes that are the same color. Below that, in the same font and color, but without shadowing, it reads Book 1 of the Kovenlore Chronicles. Near the bottom, and written in a more plain text, the color a dark yellow with a black outline, is the author’s name, Christina Anne Hawthorne. The left, beside the cover, is the following text: On the world of Ontyre… Riparia Dellbane, a reclusive Keeper courier with a fractured past, blends into Carrdia’s dystopian landscape, yet dreams of a better future. It’s about vision. Then, over one grim night, routine becomes ruin as opposing fractions seek to exploit or capture her. To survive, she must discover why. She must also discover why the handsome seer reawakening her heart is aiding her. Is he leading her to safety or to those wanting her life? Is she brave enough to untangle the conspiracy wanting to consume, not just her, but an entire nation? As a child, tragedy stole her trust. Now, her heart is begging her to trust again.

(Left) The cover of The Inverted Glass, by Owen Tyme. The Background is a pink and purple nebula in space. The foreground is largely line art, in white, with a black shadow outline. At the center is an hourglass. The bottom has black sand, with a white figure standing in it. The top has is an inverted mirror image of the bottom, with a black figure in white sand. The hourglass serves as the balance point for a set of scales, which hold a heart and a feather. The heart is on the left and the feather on the right. The heart is lower than the feather. (Right) Lying in blue sand is a heart made of the same sand, full of cracks. It glows from the inside in a warm, yellow color. Over that is the following quote: Nicole felt an extreme kind of loss, realizing she’d been stolen away from the afterlife, just before finding out if she deserved punishment or not! “How dare you do this to me? Why?” “I’m always in need of strong spirits and I’ve seen none stronger. You have unique talents I refuse to see go to waste.” (Bottom) https://books2read.com/TheInvertedGlass

That black hole is something else. By Arthur Inverse The Last Philosopher is a ride. The story starts with a black hole named, wait for it. Di- I mean Richard. And as a black hole should be, he think's hes the absolute center of the universe, able to bring everything to him and underfoot. Then we are brought to our chrotchity old headmaster of our school. The story so far has been good with worldbuilding, pictures and maps in the story adding just the right amount of touch and immersion to help visualize wheer you are and what is going on within the chapters. I found little to no errors in word choice, flow, and spelling. Solid all around.
