Authors Not-So-Anonymous Week #1

Welcome everyone to the first Authors Not-So-Anonymous weekly meeting!! This *new* series will be about authors from Twitter and Facebook!  This week, I would like to introduce S.M. Boyce into Authors Not-So-Anonymous!

S.M. Boyce is a fantasy and paranormal, indie novelist who also likes to dabble in contemporary fiction and comedy.  She has a B.A. in creative writing and began writing at the age of five.  "My first novel came at the age of five, when I wrote about a lonely pickle that was trapped in the fridge, the last in the jar.  I write fantasy and paranormal fiction because there's too much magic in the world for what we see to be all that it is."

"Tolkien and Neil Gaiman are my heores, and The Hobbit is my favorite book ever.  I like to think that my favorite book is a children's book because I'm really just an over-grown five-year old.  Gaiman's urban fantasy novels have inspired me to see more of the magical in the mundane, and to appreciate how surreal life can be.  His novel Neverwhere is possibly my favorite of his works." 

Check out her debut novel for a fresh story that combines the adventure of an epic fantasy with the surrealism of urban fantasy! Here's the teaser to wet your appetite:

The Grimoire Lichgates

Book One in the Grimoire Trilogy

Read the first chapter for free here.

The Grimoire is a book that turns its own pages and can answer any question asked of it, so Kara Magari has no idea what she's getting herself into when she stumbles across the old book while hiking a hidden trail.

Once she opens it, she's thrown into Ourea: a beautiful world full of terrifying things that all want the Grimoire's secrets. The problem is that only she can use the book's magic, since she was the one who opened it. Most of the creatures she meets want to control her, but everyone and everything in this new world is trying to find her.

There is no escape, and she is completely alone. There’s no going back now.
