Abites, today on the blog we have two up and coming authors - Aaron Speca and Patricia Laffoon.
They are contributors to the Evernight anthologies and are about to launch their own new series - The Realmwalker Prophecy.
The first book is "Heart of the Mermaid". It is
an adventure/romance set in what we know as the 18th century Caribbean.
The two main characters are an ex-pirate (now conscripted into the
Royal Navy) and a mermaid. There are also elements of fantasy and even a
dash of sci fi as Atlantis plays a role in the second half of the book.
The
series takes the idea of each book being about a different couple in
the same world and flips it around. In this case, each book is about
the same pair of souls that find each other in a different parallel
realm with each volume. The overarching thread in the series is about a
prophecy involving these two souls, a prophecy held by a race of
"Realmwalkers" that live in a Realm above all the others and have the
ability to move back and forth among them - some who want the prophecy
to be fulfilled and some who don't. (In actuality, the Realmwalkers
themselves do not even make an appearance in the first book, although
they are alluded to.)
So without further ado - Hi Aaron and Patricia. Glad to have you both here today. Let's jump in.
What is The Realmwalker Prophecy?
Aaron: Well that
is the million dollar question, and you jumped right to it! The
Realmwalker Prophecy is the title of our book series in progress. We
just completed the first book, Heart of the Mermaid, and it is in
submission now. So what is the prophecy and who are the Realmwalkers?
Those are spoilers, but the series involves parallel realms, and the
souls and beings that move between them. The intent is that each book
is a story within itself, but the nature of the Multiverse and the story
of the prophecy binds the whole series together.
