New York, NY (March 5, 2013) – World Weaver Press (Eileen Wiedbrauk, Editor-in-Chief) has announced the trade paperback and digital release of Forged by Fate, the first novel in the “Fate of the Gods Trilogy” by Amalia Dillin, today, Tuesday, March 5, 2013.

Forged by Fate is available in trade paperback and ebook viaAmazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, Kobo.com, and other online retailers. You can also find Forged by Fate on Goodreads.

Wiedbrauk commented, “As stunning as it is beautiful, Forged by Fate defines what epic, fantasy romance is and should be: spanning centuries and continents, multiple lives and crossed-mythologies. Eve, Thor, Adam, Athena – these characters are impossible to put out of your mind.”

Praise for Forged by Fate:

“A beautiful, sweeping story...I couldn’t put it out of

my mind for days.”

— Trisha Leigh, author of The Last Year series

“Amalia Dillin is a fresh, exciting voice and Forged by Fate is

not to be missed!”

— Saranna DeWylde, author of the 10 Days series

After Adam fell, God made Eve to protect the world. Adam has pursued Eve since the dawn of creation, intent on using her power to create a new world and make himself its God. Throughout history, Eve has thwarted him, determined to protect the world and all of creation. Unknown to her, the Norse god Thor has been sent by the Council of Gods to keep her from Adam’s influence, and more, to protect the interests of the gods themselves. But this time, Adam is after something more than just Eve’s power — he desires her too, body and soul, even if it means the destruction of the world. Eve cannot allow it, but as one generation melds into the next, she begins to wonder if Adam might be a man she could love.

Amalia Dillin began as a Biology major at the University of North Dakota before taking Latin and falling in love with old heroes and older gods. After that, she couldn’t stop writing about them, with the occasional break for more contemporary subjects. She lives in upstate New York with her husband, and dreams of the day when she will own goats — to pull her chariot through the sky, of course. You can find her online at her blog Good To Begin Well, Better To End Well or follow her on Twitter @AmaliaTd.

Blog Tour Stop: The Holders

 17-year-old Becca spent her whole life protecting her brother from, well, everything. The abandonment of their father, the so called 'experts' who insist that voices in his head are unnatural and must be dealt with, and the constant threat of being taken away to some hospital and studied like an animal.

When two representatives appear claiming to have the answers to Ryland's perceived problem, Becca doesn't buy it for one second. That is until they seem to know things about Ryland and about Becca and Ryland's family, that forces Becca to concede that there may be more to these people than meets the eye.

Though still highly skeptical, Becca agrees to do what's best for Ryland. What they find at St. Brigid's is a world beyond their imagination. Little by little they piece together the information of their family's heritage, their estranged Father, and the legend of the Holder race that decrees Ryland is the one they've been waiting for.

She meets Alex, a Holder who is fiercely loyal to their race, and for some reason, Becca and Ryland. There's an attraction between Becca and Alex that can't be denied, but destiny gets in the way, and they are all in for a surprise that will change what they thought they knew about themselves and their kind forever.

THE HOLDERS is a modern day fantasy about incredible powers and extraordinary people.

About the Author

Julianna was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and spent the majority of her educational career convinced she would be a musician. However, after receiving her music degree from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, she realized that she'd been born in the wrong era for her dreams of singing jazz to adoring fans clad in zoot-suits and flapper dresses to come true, and began to wonder if her true calling might be elsewhere.

While Julianna had always excelled in writing throughout school, she'd never considered it a career possibility until about three years ago, when she'd gotten her first story idea and decided to go for it. She grabbed her laptop, started typing away, and has never looked back.

Review: Murder of Crows

 Title: Murder of Crows (Book 1 of the Pillars of Dawn Series)

Author: Athena

Page Count: 400

My Rating: 4.5 TURTLES: A really great read, I highly recommend!

Author's Website

Synopsis:

Fable Montgomery is the Muse of Story.

Fourteen years ago she gave up her home, her memories, and the man she loved, to prevent a new Dark Age. Yet when her beloved aunt is murdered, the fate of two worlds rests on Fable’s ability to recover the memories she worked so hard to destroy.

Fable returns to the land of myth and magic, a place called Aria. A world that has been waiting fourteen long years for her to fulfill the promises she’s forgotten she made.

In a surge of power she writes the Prophecy of Crows, a 240 page manuscript of the future arc. But before she can read it, all but thirteen of the pages are stolen. With only thirteen pages to guide her through the story, Fable must rediscover her power of inspiration, because the last page of prophecy foretells her death.

And if the Muse of Story dies…all stories die with her.

Review:

I received this book from the author – who’s real name is actually Athena -  at the Wordstock Festival a few months ago. The cover and synopsis struck me right away. I have read intriguing summaries that didn’t live up to my expectations, but this book really did. I read Murder of Crows in record time. I couldn’t put it down! I loved the writing, the world-building was great, the characters were fully fleshed out, and my first thought when I finished it is “when is the sequel coming out?” I also loved that it was set in my hometown of Portland because I could specifically visualize the places the main character, Fable, was. (When she was on Earth, of course).

I don’t really have anything negative to say about this book, I really enjoyed it. I would say though that in my book it is definitely more New Adult than Young Adult due to the characters’ ages and the content, so a younger reader might want to wait a few years, or have someone tell them what pages not to read etc. But it is not an “Adult” book, I think it is perfectly acceptable for high school age and up.

In short, I highly recommend this book, you should get your hands on it as soon as possible! If you are a fan of action, fantasy, or paranormal romance, this is the book for you! The ending left me begging for more, and I cannot wait for the sequel to come out!

Blog Tour Stop: My Wolf's Bane Spotlight

Synopsis:

Different species. Mortal enemies. It'll never work, but they'll die trying.

Autumn Rossi thought she was a normal teenager. Suddenly, she can outrun every critter in the forest, making her wonder if she’s even human.

When the new guy at school, Zack de Luca, witnesses a questionable scene, he unfairly pins her as stuck-up. He acts like he hates her, yet he keeps bailing her out of trouble. Not only is Zack both insufferable and irresistible, he seems to sniff her anytime he gets close.

As passion flares between them, Autumn isn’t sure which is more dangerous: her psycho ex-boyfriend, or falling for Zack — who’s risking his life just by being near her.
