Local authors – and Bubonicon friends – Brenda Drake, Jane Lindskold & Gabi Stevens will be celebrating the release of their latest genre efforts in a “Fantasy Fiction Spectacular” on Saturday, February 24. Drake’s latest is Assassin of Truths: Library Jumpers Book 3, Lindskold has Asphodel, and Stevens’ effort is Mystic.
Drake’s Assassin of Truths is described as such: “The gateways linking the great libraries of the world don’t require a library card, but they do harbor incredible dangers. And it’s not your normal bump-in-the- night kind. The threats Gia Kearns faces are the kind with sharp teeth and knifelike claws. The kind that include an evil wizard hell-bent on taking her down. Gia can end his devious plan, but only if she recovers seven keys hidden throughout the world’s most beautiful libraries. And then figures out exactly what to do with them. The last thing she needs is a distraction in the form of falling in love. But when an impossible evil is unleashed, love might be the only thing left to help Gia save the world.”
Lindskold’s Asphodel is teased as such: “Prison or Refuge? Nameless in a doorless tower graced with seven windows, she is imprisoned. Who is her jailer? What is her crime? After she discovers the secret of the seven windows, the nameless one, accompanied by two impossible companions, sets forth on fantastical journeys of exploration. But, for the nameless one, learning her name may not be a welcome revelation, and the identity of her jailer will rock the foundations of a tower that has come to be as much refuge as prison.”
And Stevens’ Mystic book is thus described: “On the run, and he’s still trying to figure out how that happened, Trask Sinclair must keep psychic Allys Joel from getting captured, or killed, before they get to the safe haven promised in Mystic, Wyoming. How can a good deed go so wrong? Trask Sinclar is a reasonable man. Skeptical, sure, a little removed, but he’s a writer, and he enjoys being a popular novelist and living comfortably. When he saves Allys Joel from a bully in a hotel lobby, Trask doesn’t expect to lose control of his life to a reluctant and beautiful psychic, a mind-controlling bad-guy, a cross-country chase and a talking cat. Truth is stranger than fiction. Allys Joel sees the future when she touches someone. That’s why a Wall Street firm held her prisoner for sixteen months. Her escape embroils the sexy, somewhat aloof, Trask Sinclair in her world of people with powers. And her search to discover the secrets that can save or destroy them leads to Mystic, WY, where they just might find their forever – together.”
All three authors have written fantasy that appeals to both teenagers and adults, have all participated at Bubonicon, and all live in Albuquerque.
