Must-Read Fantasy and Freebies!

Today I want to celebrate the birth of a friend’s Book Baby!

I had the opportunity meet fellow author Janalyn Voigt a couple of years ago at a book fair in Portland. She’s versatile enough to write historical, western romance as well as vivid, rich fantasy. I’ve read DawnSinger, Book 1 of her Tales of Faeraven series and was blown away by both the beauty of her prose (feels very Tolkien-esque without the lengthiness) as well as her lovely layers of world building.

Today, SoJourner releases and I wanted to help her celebrate! Janalyn also has three bonus books to share with you, from three other fantasy authors, when you purchase SoJourner today. It’s easy when you use this link. You’ll also see the other free eBooks available, making this an offer you can’t refuse 😀 And it’s only available until October 17th.

Look at this GORGEOUS cover and check out the story description below. This is a not-to-be-missed book!

Mara didn’t know her parents were living a lie.After learning a secret that causes Mara to question her heritage, she runs to Torindan, the High Hold of Faeraven, to seek the truth. What the innkeeper’s daughter doesn’t know is that Rand, the mysterious tracker she’s hired to guide her through the wilderness, has been sent on an errand that puts her life at risk.

Helping Mara furthers Rand’s purposes, but he doesn’t count on his emotions interfering.

With Faeraven on the brink of war, Rand is faced with a life-altering choice, Mara is torn between escape and learning the truth, and the future hangs in the balance.

Will Mara be heir to the Faeraven throne? Can Rand escape the terrors of the dungeon?

As Torindan and Pilaer prepare for battle, anything can happen.


My father instilled a love of literature in me at an early age by reading chapters from “The Wizard of Oz,” “Robinson Crusoe” and other classics. When I grew older, and he stopped reading bedtime stories, I put myself to sleep with tales I “wrote” in my head. My sixth-grade teacher noticed my penchant for writing and encouraged me to become a novelist.
I’m considered a multi-genre author, but I like to think of myself as a storyteller. The same elements appear in all my novels in proportions dictated by their genre: romance, mystery, adventure, history, and whimsy.
