Remember to hug your family and friends, and savor the togetherness of life.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, if you're looking for something new to read, may I present Guardians of Telesma. It's available for pre-order from Amazon and will be free to KindleUnlimited subscribers on Dec. 1st.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">An ancient prophecy. A doorway

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">When Kate Ryan discovers an
ancient artifact at a dig site, her life is changed forever. Swept across the
boundaries of dimension, she’s plunged into an alternate world of magic,
shape-shifting cats—and a prophecy calling for her death at the hands of the
Guardian.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

took an oath to kill the Outsider whom the legend warns will destroy his world.
He hesitates as his attraction to this woman proves stronger than his sense of
duty. Now he must protect his sworn enemy against his own people as he
struggles to prove the prophecy wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

choice. Stay and try to save those who refuse to accept her, or turn her back
on them and the man who’s captured her heart? If she makes the wrong decision,
will it bring about their destruction?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Halloween’s a-coming!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This time of year is my favorite – and not only because of
Halloween. That’s like icing on the cake. Autumn is the fading season. The time
when shadows grow longer. The boards in the house creak.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The wind sighs a
mournful tune.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And monsters come out to play.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We like to be scared. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because
we think we can control our own environment. Stay safe in our cozy little
bubbles. Be terrified by stories but feel secure knowing it can’t happen to us.
Not really.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Never mind the strange noise you just heard. It’s only your
imagination, after all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or maybe not.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
In honor of the season, I’m proud to present <i>Demon in the Basement</i>. It’s on sale
right now for only .99. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thirty-two stories. Some long, some short. Some filled with
irony, others with dark humor. More that will send you to hide under the
covers, wondering if something’s coming for you next. I hope you enjoy them. I
know I enjoyed writing them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Oh, and one more thing before I forget… check the locks on
your doors. You’ve been warned.<o:p></o:p></div>

Meet the monsters of myth, the creatures that lurk under

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif;">What’s
the book about, beyond the wacky fun and crazy misadventures of our fearless
duo? It’s about friendship in the midst of insanity. Trying to find order in
the middle of chaos. Living life on the edge and having fun while doing so.
It’s about having someone’s back, no matter what.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

resort springs to life on the banks of the River Styx and souls don’t want to
move on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif;">Nothing
scares our intrepid immortals—except a run-in with a scissor-wielding Fate
after messing up the Great Tapestry. She’s the only one capable of cutting
their Life Threads.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif;">It’s
just another day in Purgatory for Death and Chronos as they sort through the
mayhem and keep the universe from spinning out of control. Be sure to bring
along your helmet. You never know when Death might offer you a ride on his
Harley.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Heroes beware! Here at the House of Hero's Dilemma, a new

The annual Realms Faire is approaching. It runs November 9<sup>th</sup>
– 13<sup>th </sup>2015. I’m looking for vict—I mean, volunteers to
stand against the immortals in a contest. The game is called:<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just Another Day in Purgatory</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Beware the Vortex</span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here’s the scenario:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Evil is afoot. Chronos has accidentally created a vortex
while cleaning his hourglass, plunging a few unfortunate souls into Lucien’s
Bar, gateway to the Underworld. Now they are trapped. Lucien wants to keep them
but will give each hapless victim one chance to earn their freedom. His
condition? Enter a contest of skills with an immortal opponent of his/her choosing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do you think you can survive a swordfight with War? How about
wend your way through a carnivorous garden to get to Gaia’s treehouse? Or weave
a portion of the Great Tapestry of Life while avoiding Atropos’ giant pair of life-ending
scissors? Perhaps you’re brave enough to challenge Death to a peanut-eating
contest? Or whip up a batch of punch with Jezebel, the Master Poisoner? Do you
have what it takes to win your way out of Lucien’s grasp?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your mission: on the day you appear in the contest you will post
on your own blog, or gather together your Facebook and/or Twitter friends and provide a link to this blog, pleading (begging works too) with
your loyal supporters to come to your aid over here and cheer you on to victory.
Their comments will decide your fate. Plead well, for you will need their strength
to endure. Others might seek to cast their votes with the immortals.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rewards? Yes! Besides winning your freedom (hopefully), each
volunteer (that would be you) who is locked in the struggle will receive an
Amazon or Barnes & Noble gift card. In addition, a few lucky commenters will be picked at random
to receive a gift card at the end of the Faire.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Interested? Leave a comment below or email me <a href="mailto:RiverFairchildAuthor@gmail.com">RiverFairchildAuthor@gmail.com</a>
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are a number of blogs participating in the Realms
Faire and many prizes to be had, including a Grand Prize at the end of the
Faire. If you’d like to run a game yourself and/or contribute a prize (ebook,
gift card, artwork, swag, anything you can come up with), go here to sign up. <a href="http://mpaxauthor.com/realmsfaire/">http://mpaxauthor.com/realmsfaire/</a>

<i>Twisted Earths </i>is
a collection of tales from Untethered Realms, a group of speculative fiction authors.
The stories are as varied and rich as the types of soil on this and other
planets—sandy loam, clay, knotted with roots and vines, dreaded paths through
unexplored planets, and in enchanted forests, lit by candlelight and two moons.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
M. Pax, author of the series, <i>The Backworlds</i> and <i>The
Rifters</i> spins a tale called Patchworker 2.0. Specialists with digital interfaces
are the only ones who can distinguish between biological energy and mechanical
pulses, and “patch” AIs, which hold the world together. Patchworker Evalyn Shore
meets up with an AI with deadly intent.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cherie Reich, known for her epic fantasy series <i>The Fate Challenges</i> and <i>The Foxwick Chronicles,</i> presents Lady
Death. Umbria, a beautiful and powerful swordsmith, is given an impossible task
by her brother Leon when he asks, “You are the assassin. Are you scared to
destroy Death when you are up to your elbows in it?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Angela Brown is the author of the paranormal <i>Shadow Jumpers</i> and <i>NEO Chronicles </i>series. In her story, In The Know, Jacob, a loyal
family man is struggling to stay out of debt when he’s hired to report on big
plans for a future Detroit. He’s given a mysterious manila envelope with
instructions to “open it alone” or pay the price. With switchback twists you
won’t see coming, a debt of a much steeper cost is what he just might end up
paying for his involvement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Catherine Stine, author of the futuristic thrillers, <i>Fireseed One</i> and <i>Ruby’s Fire,</i> offers The Day of The Flying Dogs, a sinister tale of brilliant,
troubled NYC high-school student, Theo. He experiences a day at Coney Island
that includes drugs, delusions, a lonely capybara, Nathan’s hotdogs and a
mind-bending lesson in our very twisted universe.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Christine Rains, known best for her paranormal series <i>The Thirteenth Floor</i>, gives us The Ole
Saint, a story at once sweet, horrific and heartrending. Ezra longs to fit in
and have boys stop calling him witch and freak, yet his unique supernatural
skill sets him apart, and the last gift from The Ole Saint cinches the deal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Graeme Ing, known for his young
adult fantasy, <i>Ocean of Dust</i> presents
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The Malachite Mine, a
gripping, scream-inducing ride. Whatever was Mary thinking when she accepted her
husband’s gift of a most terrifying twenty-first birthday celebration in an
abandoned Russian mine?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
River Fairchild, author of her <i>Jewels of Chandra</i> series, presents A Grand Purpose. Rosaya and her cousin,
Drianna are soon to be married off, but Rosaya is unhappy with her assigned
match. She’s much more intoxicated by the older Firrandor, a wizard she hardly
knows. When Rosaya is accused of killing an oracle boy, all bets are off, not
only for her love, but her freedom.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gwen Gardner, who pens the cozy paranormal mystery series, <i>Indigo Eady</i>, adds to her collection with
Ghostly Guardian. Indigo and her rib-tickling ghost-busters must travel to a
dangerous pirate-laden past in order to unearth a curmudgeonly eighteenth century
spirit that is plaguing the Blind Badger Pub.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Misha Gerrick, whose <i>War
of Six Crowns</i> series is forthcoming, gives us a story called Red Earth and
White Light. Emily, a young ghost bride has long haunted a house. She longs to
cross over into the afterlife, but she’s trapped in memories of lilies and
betrayal.<o:p></o:p></div>

were weird, but I could get used to them. Some of the people are a bit
off-kilter too, but that’s not unusual if you live in the wilderness. It would
be a great place to escape to. Free to start over fresh in a new town.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It’s the rumors; whispers that shiver their way up and down

murder and leaving headless corpses in its wake. Rumors of a rift in the area
that shatters time itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Maybe I only imagined the impending doom about to befall me if I didn’t escape.

<div class="StyleFirstline03">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Gold Rush trickles to a fool’s quest and a string
of stagecoach heists. In 1888, Earl Blacke decides to make a new start and
become a better man. He escapes into the mountains, heading north. In the wilds
of Oregon, a rift inside an ancient volcano opens and sends him into the
future, into the present day. It also shaves forty years off his age, forty
years to live over again and atone for what he’s done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="StyleFirstline03">
<br /></div>
<div class="StyleFirstline03">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Starting over is hard to do. In current day New York,
Daelin Long’s dream job at a publishing house goes the way of the dinosaurs her
sister chases. With no money and nowhere else to go, Daelin accepts the
librarian position in her sister’s dinky town in the middle of Oregon. Nestled
inside ancient volcanic peaks, the town of Settler holds onto many secrets.
Residents roam the streets with weirdly fashioned devices, and odd lights pulse
in the night skies. People whisper of a phantom outlaw and start dying,
murdered and missing their heads. On top of it all, Daelin’s sister is missing,
and Daelin doesn’t know who to trust.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="StyleFirstline03">
<br /></div>
<div class="StyleFirstline03">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Earl knows more than he’s saying. He shares a
notorious history with the phantom, one he’ll see remains buried. Keeping
Daelin’s sister’s secrets is his only chance at redemption, and the only way to
keep this world safe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
