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
