    Liquid Silver Books has released The Shining One, a fantasy romance by Irene Chandler that you can download for the bargain price of $4.75 at the link.

    Cover blurbage reads thus:

    In a world of capricious gods and strange landscapes, Quinn Archer is a fugitive. Presenting herself as a metalworker, she travels with a nomad caravan and tries to stay unnoticed until two new factors enter her life. One is a beastling, a distorted monster with human intelligence, which seems to be hunting her. The other is a healer called Lorr.

    An enigma, a man who doesnt seem to fear the gods–or anything else–Lorr is a temptation that Quinn cannot resist. However, both Quinn and Lorr have dangerous secrets. Deep in the Mirrorwood, a land of beauty and deception, both lovers must face their pasts and their fears.

    Read the first chapter here.

    And yes, Irene Chandler is a member of my family. We are all fantasy nuts in my family and we boast at least two fantasy writers, both excellent.

  1. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

  2. How are we related to this person?

  3. Hey Elizabeth — “Irene Chandler” is a pseudonym, so no need to look for such a person in our family tree. I’ll get to you back channel.

  4. Some one I know, Tommy, who will go unnamed but who has had more experience reading erotic fantasy fiction than have I, tells me that there is a lot of really badly written stuff out there. This novel is very well written — and I’m using my critic’s hat here, not my doting relative’s hat — and charmingly inventive in details like Mirrorwood and the sapinfoxes. Nice tension in the plot, too.

  5. I’m glad you liked it. I know she worked very hard on the book. I have told her that you liked it and she was very grateful.
