The Goddess’s Choice
by Jamie Marchant
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Fantasy (Epic)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In a
world where the corrupt church hides the truth about magic, the fate of the
joined kingdom falls on the shoulders of two young people from opposite ends of
the social hierarchy.
Crown
Princess Samantha’s life begins to fall apart when she starts seeing strange
colors around her potential suitors. She fears that she’s going insane--or
worse that she’s defying the Goddess’s will. Robrek is a lowly farmboy with
incredible magical powers. He has been biding his time waiting to get revenge
on those who call him a demon.
Thrown
together by chance, they must overcome their differences to fight their common
enemy Duke Argblutal, who, with dark magic, is slowly poisoning the king’s mind
and turning him against his own daughter.
Time is running out for those chosen by the Goddess to prevent the power
mad duke from usurping the throne and plunging the joined kingdoms into civil
war.

EXCERPT ONE:
He
returned to the horses, loaded the supplies on Wild Thing, and rode in silence
to the abandoned stable. Robbie led the horse inside. When he lit the lantern
he kept there, he let out a whistle of amazement. The horse was a
bronze-colored mare that looked more like it was forged out of metal than
living flesh! But the horse’s impossible color wasn’t the only thing that
struck Robbie. Sores spotted the beast’s body; puss and blood oozed from under
the saddle. The horse’s coat was matted with dried blood. Her ribs stood out in
stark detail. How could anyone neglect a horse so badly? “Where could you have
come from, girl?” Robbie could feel a wail building up inside the horse, so he
hurried to take the armor and other equipment off her back, unsaddled her, and
removed her harness.
“I don’t think you’re a demon. But I don’t
know what you are. By the look of the armor you must have been some knight’s
lady. But what happened to him? Sores like these don’t form overnight. If he’s
still alive, he obviously doesn’t deserve a lady like you. So how about it?
Will you be my lady?” He paused at the sound of his own words. Milady. “I had a
lady once. For one day, that is. My brother didn’t approve—I’m sure he wouldn’t
approve of you, either.”

AUTHOR BIO:
Jamie began
writing stories about the man from Mars when she was six, and she never
remembers wanting to be anything other than a writer. Everyone told her she
needed a back up plan, so she pursued a Ph.D. in American literature, which she
received in 1998. She started teaching writing and literature at Auburn
University. One day in the midst of writing a piece of literary criticism, she
realized she’d put her true passion on the backburner and neglected her muse.
The literary article went into the trash, and she began the book that was to
become The Goddess’s Choice. She is now releasing an expanded edition of the
novel. Her other novels include The Soul Stone and The Ghost in Exile. In
addition, she has published a novella, Demons in the Big Easy, and a collection
of short stories, Blood Cursed and Other Tales of the Fantastic. Her short
fiction has also appeared in the anthologies--Urban Fantasy and Of Dragons
& Magic: Tales of the Lost Worlds—and in Bards & Sages, The World of
Myth, A Writer’s Haven, and Short-story.me. She claims she writes about the
fantastic . . . and the tortured soul. Her poor characters have hard lives. She
lives in Auburn, Alabama, with her husband and four cats, which (or so she’s
been told) officially makes her a cat lady. She still teaches writing and
literature at Auburn University. She is the mother of a grown son.

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, and so your readers know this is the expanded edition of the novel. The original edition was released 5 years ago, and if they like The Goddess's Choice, two other volumes in the series, The Soul Stone and The Ghost in Exile, are already available. I'll be checking back throughout the day, and I'd love to answer any of your readers questions.
