Review: I should have stuck to my rule about reading books in order because I feel like I missed a huge chunk of this story and kinda waded in at the back so I don't feel I had the vested emotions others who have followed the entire trilogy have had but still it was a fun emotional twist of a story and since reading it I have went back and picked up the other two books and am gonna read thru the whole thing.

About Author:

Lola James has been reading romance novels since her teens, and fell in love with the paranormal after discovering Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. Her love of the dark worlds of vampires and witches, as well as her fascination with Greek mythology led her to create the Spellbound Series, an ongoing Paranormal Romance combining all of the above into tales of suspense with a little bit of humor in an Urban Fantasy setting.

A long time lover of reading and writing with a passion for a great story, James became discouraged by the complicated and arbitrary publishing process, James had initially set down her laptop and her hopes of being a writer. However, with the purchase of her first e-reader, James became re-energized by the new possibilities for an undiscovered author to reach the masses. Dusting off her keyboard she finally finished Bound to Remember, the first book of the Spellbound Series and self-published it. Energized and ambitious, James is now hard at work on both the Spellbound Series as well as the Fate Series, a paranormal romance about dreams and what happens if they come true.

Guest Post - Herrick C. Erickson-Brigl - Divine Tempest Tour

Hi there!

Thank you for having me. This is my second guest post, so let’s get this thing going! I want to talk a bit about religion in my fantasy world today.

Divine politics have always intrigued me. Looking back, I think I remember the interplay between different pantheons more than any other stories: Hera and Zeus, Journey to the West, Loki and Baldur, etc. This really influenced my own storytelling by giving me examples of divine interplay. It always happens in such big picture way, but gods appeared so childlike in their simplistic desires.

So when I started creating the religions for my book, I did not want to stray too far from some fantasy precepts, such as multiple gods with specific purposes. I personally think this is a mainstay that a lot of readers, myself included, have come to love and rely upon to anchor them to a world. I wanted to create a pantheon that was easy to understand, so I made a sixteen-god pantheon, with four gods per an alignment. I thought it was also important to keep an overarching theme of divine politics, too. The conflict had to have long reaching consequences without being too complicated. The last thing I really wanted to touch on was pairing particular gods with specific races.

Religion is incredibly important to the social structures of different races. The rahlien fire giants worship the Vae’firon, the goddess of betrayal; the anthra worship Syff’ron, the goddess of nature; and the therrans worship any god, but the god Dol’ron is prevalent because he is the patron deity of justice and retribution. That comes into play quite heavily when Dol’ron unleashes a demon on Therra to right an age-old wrong.

The rahliens come to Deiyil to broker a truce with the Anthra. However, the rahlien’s religious propensities make it impossible to trust any pact brokered with them. This is the center of one of the main conflicts in the book. It leads toward the epic conclusion and is a part of the setup for the follow-up book as well.

Penndarius is one of my favorite characters in the book because he is thrust into an impossible situation he never wanted. It is easy to sympathize with him because he does not adhere to any one deity, and yet he becomes a part of this divine whirlwind of intrigue. He tries to make sense of it, something no one in history has been able to do before him. As the saying goes, knowledge is power.

Thank you for reading this guest post. My book is available on Amazon and you can help get the sequel published by pledging to the kickstarter that is going right now! (Both books are available as backer rewards)
Once again, thank you for having me and have an absolutely fantastic day!

A Scholar's Journey: The Divine Tempest

A Scholar’s Journey: The Divine Tempest is a no-holds-barred fantasy brawl. It begins when the God of Justice and Retribution opens The Abyss and unleashes a vengeful demon upon the mortal realm of Therra.

Now it is up to scholar Penndarius Greyson and his tormented protector, martial artist Soren Luna Mortalitas, to stop a crisis that would send shockwaves through the very fabric of creation. In addition, Penndarius is waging an internal battle with a disembodied presence attempting to possess his mind. The two heroes must avoid death or capture, but there is a catch: They have only one day to solve a riddle older than history before a dark host of unstoppable demons is released into the world.

The Divine Tempest includes warring factions, betrayal and redemption, and of course, Herrick Erickson-Brigl's trademark: epic fight scenes. This is the lean, hard-hitting first installment in a series that follows Penndarius’s growth as the avatar of the God of Creation and Soren’s reclamation of his lethal family’s humanity.

Purchase A Scholar's Journey: The Divine Tempest on Amazon.
