Epic Escapism NOW!

0

TAP promo print AMAZON

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been fascinated with stories that grab me by the imagination and suck me into another world. Some of my favorite books and films are fantastical adventures like The Wizard of Oz, Stardust, Mary Poppins, How to Train a Dragon, and just about any Star Wars, Indiana Jones, or Marvel movie ever made. I’m also a huge Disney fan. If it’s a fantastical adventure with ‘romance’… Bonus!

As a writer, I’ve dabbled in a few paranormal romance stories. I also wrote three steampunk romances (The Glorious Victorious Darcys) which I adore! But the bulk of my published works (to date) are contemporary romance—quirky, but wholly rooted in ‘reality’. I love every one of those stories as well, but these days I’m driven to explore new worlds. Epic escapism that highlights a fantastical adventure and, bonus, includes a flirty/slow-burn romance between the lead characters.  

Last year, I allowed my imagination to soar and wrote a genre-bending tale that had been brewing in my brain for several years.  The Assassin’s Prodigy came to life two episodes per week over a five month stretch as an on-going serial via Radish Fiction (a digital platform for android devices.) The entire story is now live and bingeable as they say in serialized fiction land). Presently, The Assassin’s Prodigy is a Radish exclusive. That means it won’t be available as a digital read via Kindle, Nook, iTunes, or Kobo until later this year (Fall 2019) For those of you who don’t want to wait that long, and maybe aren’t crazy about the serial format… Great news! I have an alternative option.

As of today, The Assassin’s Prodigy is available IN PRINT! You can order the polished, novelized trade paperback version of Zoe and Gabriel’s adventure via Amazon.com and have it directly delivered to your home! I hope you’re as excited as I am, because I am dying to share this story with you! If you do read and enjoy, please consider writing and sharing a review on Amazon. Positive reader reviews are gold! As is ‘word of mouth’.

As always, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support!

A Peek into Zoe Albright’s Extraordinary World

2

This summer I decided to explore a new-to-me writing venue–Radish Fiction. An online publishing platform for serialized fiction. I wrote and uploaded two episodes per week for several months straight. I launched THe ASSASSIN’S PRODIGY (a coming-of-age genre-bender) on July 6th and published my last episode tonight (11/13!) It was a wild (and sometimes nail biting) ride. I learned a lot about myself as a writer and I also discovered a deep love of fast-paced romantic adventure where every episode played in my head like a scene from a cable series. THE ASSASSIN’S PRODIGY is exclusive to Radish for the next year. Read more about serials and Radish here on my website (also included: another story excert!)

Now that all episodes have been uploaded, you can binge read the entire story by downloading the Radish app to your phone or any android device! Check back for updates regarding wider distribution digitally and in print.

To celebrate the completion of this story of my heart, I’m sharing the first episode below. More

The 2017 RT Booklovers Convention is in full swing in Atlanta, Georgia. AND I’M NOT THERE!

I’ve been attending RT since 1994. I think I only missed 2 (this makes 3) in all those years. So that’s 20+ times! I’ve had the pleasure of writing, directing, coordinating, and/or emceeing several RT special events over the years. More
