Christmas Gift Ideas For Fantasy Fiction Readers - Fantasy Fiction Novel 'The Birth Of Death' By Author Joseph Macolino Now Available

In the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien and G.R.R. Martin, Macolino builds fantasy worlds. Macolino's newest fantasy fiction sets a new standard in books for fantasy fiction and is a perfect holiday gift for young fantasy fiction readers

Masters of the epic high fantasy genre such as Tolkein and Martin took fantasy fiction to a whole new level. Today, few authors can create at the level of those masters of the genre. Joseph Macolino, author of 'The Birth Of Death' has constructed a world of extreme depth and extraordinary richness that does justice to the works of those who went before and opened doors for future generations of writers.

'The Birth of Death' is the first in a soon to be series of fantasy books that take place in the world of Evorath. Featuring elves, centaur, lamia, satyr, demons, and a variety of original races, readers will find themselves engrossed in a world of excitement and adventure. Good fantasy books delve into complex relationships and budding friendships. Readers will learn about the world of Evorath and the beings who are working hard to survive in a society that, like all societies, is flawed.

In this month of December, a giveaway is being hosted at https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/115768-the-birth-of-death. Winners will receive a signed copy of ‘The Birth of Death.’ Joseph Macolino has also released a kindle eBook ‘The Demon Wars,’ which is a prequel to the Evorath series. This novella will be offered as a free download from December 8 through December 12 and includes the first 4 chapters of ‘The Birth of Death.’ Even those who not win a copy get started in this epic saga for free.

'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 . . ."

Joseph Macolino is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at media@evorath.com. 'The Birth Of Death' is available at most online retailers. More information is available on Macolino's website at http://www.evorath.com.

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.
