About Joseph Macolino:

When he is not pouring his heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears into writing good fantasy books, Joseph spends time studying the politics and economics of Earth, and also enjoys studying philosophy from nearly every school of thought; if it has anything to do with social philosophy, he wants to know about it. Through this learning, he admits that most philosophy books are relatively dry in their presentation, but hopes to convey these concepts in a way that people can enjoy and relate to. He looks to accomplish this by providing good epic fantasy books for years to come.

Ultimately, Joseph Macolino built Evorath to be his ultimate fantasy book getaway and wants his readers to enjoy the same luxury.

Author Joseph Macolino Releases New Fantasy Novel, 'The Birth Of Death'

In the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien and G.R.R. Martin, Joseph Macolino is a builder of worlds. Macolino's newest fantasy fiction sets a new standard in books for young adults

Good fantasy books are released every day. Good fantasy books with real depth are not. Masters of the epic high fantasy genre, such as J.R.R. Tolkein and G. R. R. Martin, were builders of worlds. While other stories may be derivative of their works, few can create at the level of these revered masters. Following the path of his mentors, Joseph Macolino, a contemporary scribe of epic high fantasy, constructs a world of extreme depth and extraordinary richness. As a famous hobbit once said, "If you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."

"Evorath gives readers a way to escape from reality while showing that even the greatest heroes struggle with doubt," Macolino stated. "These books are intended to show that it is the diversity of individuals, rather than conformity, is what makes for a strong society. I started writing the Evorath series for my own escape. As I built the world though, I knew that I had to share it." What pleases me the most about 'The Birth of Death' is that readers seem to get just as much excitement reading it as I got writing it.”

'The Birth of Death' is the first in a series of fantasy novels taking place in the world of Evorath. With elves, centaur, lamia, satyr, demons, and a variety of original races, readers are immersed in a world of excitement and adventure. These good fantasy books delve into complex relationships and budding friendships. Readers will learn about the world of Evorath and the people who are working to survive in a flawed society. Of course, with a great new evil growing in Evorath, these flaws in society soon become the least of their concerns.

The Birth of Death has received rave reviews from readers. One reviewer stated " An exciting, well written and comprehensive fantasy book that I enjoyed reading. It has a great pace and nicely executed by the author. The main character, Artimus was a superb creation . . ."

"What pleases me the most about 'The Birth of Death'," Macolino concluded, "is that readers seem to get just as much excitement reading it as I got writing it.”

New Fantasy Novel, 'Racing To Heaven', Released By Author Harriet Tramer

In the tradition of coming of age stories such as National Velvet, Harriet Tramer's fantasy fiction takes us on a mystical journey through the rich interior life of a girl who dreams big dreams

Author Harriet Tramer has announced the release of her latest fantasy book, 'Racing To Heaven'. Tramer's fantasy novel takes us on a journey through the interior life of a girl who dreams of winning the biggest horse race of her life. The girl, age 16, wins the race but dies at the finish line. Sadly the young girl, narrator of the tale, has suffered many years of neglect on the part of her narcissistic parents. As did Dorothy in the Wizard Of Oz, the girl dreams of a more exciting and colorful place than the world that surrounds her. Unlike Dorothy, however, she might have found that there truly is a better place than home. At the end, in a mind-bending twist, Tramer's fantasy fiction work leaves us to be the judge of what is true.

While child neglect is the subject of an untold number of headlines today, seldom do we hear about the more subtle forms of neglect - apathy and disinterest. The long term effects of these forms of neglect, not so newsworthy by comparison, are nevertheless devastating. Dr.Jonice Webb, PhD., has published many articles on the subject. Dr. Webb believes this form of child neglect can manifest later in life as feelings of invisibility, apathy and the inability to connect. Many of those children suffer from a lack of emotional intelligence. She refers to this condition as Childhood Emotional Neglect.

"Once I finished this novel," Tramer stated, "my work had only begun because I could not stop thinking of the many ways in which it could be interpreted. But no matter how you might chose to envision this book, one thing comes through loud and clear. The narrator was the victim of emotional neglect by her parents. And that neglect sent her off on a treacherous path."

Most great fantasy books leave little open to interpretation. 'Racing To Heaven' however can be interpreted in numerous different ways. Possibly, it is a tragedy that culminates in a young girl’s ending up lifeless on the track as she crosses the finish line after winning the biggest race of her life.  But then again, her “adventures” might actually be nothing more than fantasies that fill a teenager’s mind and grow wilder in her telling. In either case, however, reading this book should give readers pause to think about life and maybe even about what happens after we leave this earthly existence.

Harriet Tramer is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at harriet.tramer@tri-c.edu. 'Racing To Heaven' is available at Amazon. More information is available at her website at http://www.racingtoheaven.net.

About Harriet Tramer:

Ever since she was quite young, Harriet Tramer has known that writing would always be a major part of her life. She fully intended to be creative with words, practicing this craft whenever possible. And to her great joy, opportunities to do just that have come her way as she has worked as both a journalist and a college instructor. The connections between writing and being a journalist are obvious. While it also involves information gathering skills, the word “writing” is the operant term in the phrase “writing articles.” But the connection between being an instructor and being a writer are not as clear. And that is where computers come into the picture. Harriet teaches online classes at the New School in New York City plus other schools and she fills computer screen after computer screen with instructions for completing assignments and comments on papers that are submitted.

In addition to writing and teaching, Harriet has a very wide range of interests. She busies herself with everything from yoga to horseback riding and music. Keeping physical active is a major priority as is keeping her mind occupied with things that are happening in our ever changing world.

‘The Last Secret of Nikola Tesla’, Sequel To ‘Spear Of Seth’, Released By Pennsylvania Author René Daniel

Author René Daniel writes in the traditions of ‘Indiana Jones and ‘House Of Anubis’. He describes his genre as ‘Falenture’, a blend of fantasy, legend and adventure

Pennsylvania author René Daniel has announced the release of ‘The Last Secret of Nikola Tesla’. Daniel’s first fantasy adventure novel, ‘Spear of Seth’, was written in the spirit of 'Indiana Jones' and 'House of Anubis'. The novel took modern day archaeologists into the Egyptian Underworld and was a deftly written blend of fantasy, legend and adventure; a genre Daniel has termed ‘Falenture’. His next novel, 'The Last Secret of Nikola Tesla', follows the same popular format.

In 'Spear of Seth', college sophomore Alex Khyan experienced a summer session unlike one any other college student has ever known. Entering the Egyptian underworld to seek the Spear of Seth, a legendary cure for a mystical poison that nearly claimed the life of his friend and mentor, Alex and his friends fought monsters, demons, and not-so-benevolent gods. They pulled it off, but, after his summer of Indiana Jones-like adventures, Alex hoped never again to do anything more exciting than accidentally blowing something up in his chemistry lab. But Fate was not done with Alex yet.

In 'The Last Secret of Nikola Tesla', a devastating tragedy in Alex's personal life pulls him back into the whirlwind of international intrigue, strange creatures that pre-date pyramids, and religious missions whose converts are not quite what they seem. And so Alex and friends ride again in the stand-alone sequel to ‘Spear of Seth’, from New York to Alexandria, from Florida to the White Desert and back again, following a trail that links a legendary civilization to the work of that mysterious genius, Nikola Tesla.

”I wrote this book,” stated Daniel, “for all the fans of Nikola Tesla, for lovers of Egypt and last, but not least, for all people who enjoyed the first book of the series, ‘Spear of Seth’.

René Daniel is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at Rene_Daniel@verizon.net. Both ‘Spear of Seth’ and ‘The Last Secret Of Nikola Tesla’ are available at Amazon and most online book retailers and can be also downloaded at Rene Daniel’s website at http://www.newfantasyfovel.com.

About René Daniel:

In his other life, René Daniel is a physician and a researcher in the fields of gene therapy, HIV and aging. Writing is his great love. He refers to his genre as FALENTURE - a mix of fantasy, legends and adventure.

Unlike a classical fantasy, FALENTURE builds on and sticks close to epic legends of human history, and asks a question: what if they are/were real? Is there really an Egypt Underworld? Was there really a Lost City of Z? What if the mysterious late inventions of Nikola Tesla worked? A FALENTURE could be compared to a combination of ‘Lord Of The Rings’, ‘The DaVinci Code’ and ‘Indiana Jones’.

Pennsylvania Author Rene Daniel Announces Dramatic Increase In Sales Of 'Spear Of Seth' And The Release Of A New Novel

Daniel describes his genre as ‘Falenture’, a blend of fantasy, legend and adventure. ‘Spear Of Seth', written in the spirit of ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘House Of Anubis’ takes modern day archaeologists into the Egyptian Underworld. 'Last Secret Of Nikola Tesla', his next fantasy adventure novel, is slated for release in mid 2012

Pennsylvania author Rene Daniel's fantasy adventure novel, ‘Spear of Seth’, is written in the spirit of 'Indiana Jones' and 'House of Anubis'. The novel takes modern day archaeologists into the Egyptian Underworld. 'Spear Of Seth' is a blend of fantasy, legend and adventure. Daniel has termed this new genre ‘Falenture’. His next novel, 'Last Secret Of Nikola Tesla', follows the same popular format.

"Storylines such as those found in the 'Indiana Jones' series and 'House Of Anubis'," said Mr. Daniels, "never seem to go out of favor with the book buying public. These type of stories all the reader to live vicariously and to lose themselves in the story. I believe the blend of fantasy, legend and adventure, something I've termed 'Falenture', is responsible for the increased popularity and readership of 'Spear Of Seth'."

Alex Khyan, the protagonist of ‘Spear of Seth’, is a premed student of the Van Senmut College, who gets a summer job as a translator at an archeological dig at the island of Elephantine in the Upper Egypt. Here he meets Heather Van Senmut and her father, John Van Senmut, a grandson of the founder of the college and the archeologist in charge of the excavations. The dig is not just some dig; it is the ruins of the Temple of Osiris, which stands at the mythical place where Nile emerges from the Egyptian Underworld. When John Van Senmut, falls ill and physicians give up on him, his daughter decides to search the Temple for the cause of the disease and possibly a cure. Her quest leads her, and her unwilling helper Alex, into the Netherworld, which survived the Egyptian civilization by two thousand years. They negotiate its dangers, as well as dangers that come from their contemporaries. They do have only one guide – the Book of Gates, which decorates the sarcophagus of the pharaoh Seti.

"In 'Last Secret Of Nikola Tesla'," continued Mr. Daniel, "I hope to be able to build upon the success of 'Spear Of Seth' and to continue to offer readers another novel that combines fantasy, legend and adventure".

Mr. Daniel is offering a no-charge electronic copy of "Last Secret Of Nikola Tesla’ to anyone who writes a review for 'Spear Of Seth' on Amazon or on their own blog.

Rene Daniel is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at rene_daniel@verizon.net. More information on the author, the novel and the review offer is available at his website. ‘Spear of Seth’ is available at his website, Amazon and most online book retailers.

Pennsylvania Author Rene Daniel Releases Fantasy Adventure Novel, ‘Spear Of Seth’

Daniel describes his genre as ‘Falenture’, a blend of fantasy, legend and adventure. ‘Spear Of Seth, written in the spirit of ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘House Of Anubis’ takes modern day archaeologists into the Egyptian Underworld

Pennsylvania author Rene Daniel has released ‘Spear of Seth’. The novel takes modern day archaeologists into the Egyptian Underworld. The book, written in the spirit of ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘House Of Anubis’ is a blend of fantasy, legend and adventure. Daniel has termed this new genre ‘Falenture’.

“I wrote Spear of Seth,” Daniel said, “as I wanted to share the wonderful world of ancient Egypt, the fascinating mythology, and above all, the sense of how everything is possible, which we have when we are young, and some of us retain forever. There is fantasy, legend and adventure in ‘Spear of Seth' and plenty of them.”

Alex Khyan, the protagonist of ‘Spear of Seth’, is a premed student of the Van Senmut College, who gets a summer job as a translator at an archeological dig at the island of Elephantine in the Upper Egypt.

They negotiate its dangers, as well as dangers that come from their contemporaries. They do have only one guide – the Book of Gates, which decorates the sarcophagus of the pharaoh Seti.

“The closest we can come,” continued Daniel, “to challenges like those the Spear of Seth heroes face in the Egypt Underworld is to lose ourselves in a great book.”

Mr. Daniel is offering a no-charge copy of the sequel of ‘Spear of Seth’ to anyone who writes a review for novel on Amazon or on their own blog.

High Fantasy Writer R.T. Kaelin Releases Fantasy Novel, Progeny, In Ebook Format For Kindle

R.T. Kaelin's writing style has been compared to Brandon Sanderson and David Eddings and the book's scope to those penned by J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Kaelin recognizes that making Progeny available in ebook format will allow his hit novel to be made available to a wider audience, including ebook readers

Ebooks and eBook readers have taken the industry by storm over the last few months. R.T. Kaelin, author of Progeny, recognizes that any author who hopes to be successful in the current book marketing environment must meet the demands of the marketplace. For this reason, he has chosen to offer his high fantasy novel, Progeny, in eBook format for the Kindle. The eBook version of Progeny hit the virtual shelves on February 4, 2011.

“I am extremely pleased," stated Kaelin, "with the critical success of this fantasy novel. Progeny was written to draw the reader into a vibrant, vivid world full of characters as substantive as any living person. The goal was to have the tale flow seamlessly from the first chapter, picking up and sweeping reader and characters alike into a masterfully woven, tidal epic. I wanted loyalty and love to contrast with scheming and treachery, combining together to create a richly rewarding journey full of both joy and heartache. When the last line is completed, I wanted the readers of the first entry in The Children of the White Lions series to demand to know what comes next. I believe I have achieved that goal.”

Progeny, the first installment in the Children of the White Lions series, has garnered rave reviews. Many believe it is among the best fantasy books released recently. Progeny has been compared to Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter. Interest in the book has been high for this fantasy book, and R.T. Kaelin has been very busy sharing his fantasy fiction novel with readers. The author has been touring high schools, talking with hundreds of students about creative writing and the power of the written word while sharing his love of reading and writing. A ten-day Authors Chat with R.T. Kaelin was held at LibraryThing.com where the reading community interacted directly with the author, asking him questions about his high fantasy book.

Kaelin has also been involved in a number of high profile media interviews, the most recent appearance being The Authors Show, where listeners were able to hear what went into writing the epic fantasy story. He shared where the ideas for his top selling book came from and why the writings of certain bestselling fantasy authors like Raymond E. Feist, Christopher Paolini, and Robert Jordan inspired him to write.

Future events for the author include additional speaking appearance to discuss creative writing as well as a book reading and signing events. Kaelin is available for media interview and can be reached using the contact information below, or by email at rtkaelin@terrene.info. More information, including reviews, is available at his website. Progeny is available at Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com and may be ordered from any bookstore. The Kindle edition was published on February 4, 2011 at Amazon.com/Kindle-eBooks.

Profile:

R.T. Kaelin grew up in Cincinnati and now resides in Pickerington, Ohio with his wife and two children. He works in the information technology field in Columbus. He realizes that the traditional method of publishing involves a high amount of luck and, not wishing to have his high fantasy novel bogged down in the traditional publishing business model, he decided to follow the path of self-publishing. His gamble has paid off as evidenced by the success of his fantasy novel, Progeny.
