Today
is the cover reveal of two novellas in StoryTime releasing on
October 14, 2014: Tell Me My Name by Mary Fan and Slam by Tash McAdam.
In Mary Fan’s second novella from
Glass House Press, a teen girl wakes up in an icy cell, alone and
frightened. She has no memory of who she is or how she came to be
there.
She does know that she must get
out, at all costs. And that escape must start with remembering the
simple things – her own name. Her place of origin. Her possible
powers.
When a group of dark magicians
reveal themselves to be her captors, she finds herself in the
clutches of those who will stop at nothing to uncover the secrets
locked within her lost memories. With her life fading under their
merciless spells, the need to escape becomes dire.
But can she get out when she
doesn’t even know who she is? Can she count on one unlikely ally
for help? Or is it already too late for her, a girl without a
name?
Tell Me My Name introduces the main
characters in Mary’s new fantasy series, Fated Stars, with the
first book, Windborn,
due in late 2015.
About Mary Fan
Mary Fan is a hopeless dreamer,
whose mind insists on spinning tales of “what if.” As a music
major in college, she told those stories through compositions. Now
she tells them through books—a habit she began as soon as she
could pick up a pencil. Flynn
Nightsider and the Edge of Evil follows a well-received
debut novel, a space opera titled Artificial Absolutes (2013), and is the first
in the Flynn
Nightsider series.
Mary would like to think that there are many other novels in her
bag, and hopes to prove that to the world as well.
Mary lives in New Jersey and has
a B.A. from Princeton University. When she’s not scheming to
create new worlds, she enjoys kickboxing, opera singing, and
blogging about everything having to do with books.
Telepaths, torture, mindwipes ...
the Institute has it all, and they use each of their brainwashed
children as weapons, the way they see fit. To control society,
repress its people. To make certain that they stay in power, no
matter the cost. Serena’s baby brother Damon is one of those
children, and these days he’s so altered that he doesn’t even
recognize her.
When it comes to getting Damon
away from those who kidnapped him, there's nothing Serena won't
do. Even if she has to kill him to save him. First, though, she
must prove to her father that she has what it takes to be a
soldier against the insidious threat of the Institute. Her first
mission has to be perfect.
But with inaccurate intelligence,
unexpected storms, and Gav Belias, people’s hero of the Watch, on
the prowl, will she even survive? If she doesn't succeed, they'll
never let her go after her brother.
And that would be unthinkable,
when it was her fault that he was taken in the first place.
Slam is Tash McAdam’s first work
with Glass House Press, and serves as a prequel to her series The
Psionics, with the first book, Maelstrom, due in 2015.
About Tash McAdam
Tash McAdam’s
first writing experience (a collaborative effort) came at the age
of eight, and included passing floppy discs back and forth with a
best friend at swimming lessons. Since then, Tash has spent time
falling in streams, out of trees, learning to juggle, dreaming
about zombies, dancing, painting, learning Karate, becoming a punk
rock pianist, and of course, writing.
Tash is a teacher in real life,
but dreams of being a full-time writer, and living a life of
never-ending travel. Though born in the hilly sheepland of Wales,
Tash has lived in South Korea and Chile and now calls Vancouver,
Canada home.
Maelstrom, the first book in The
Psionics, is Tash’s first published work. Visit the website or
facebook for news, gossip, and random tidbits about Tash’s
