“All things find a way back home.”--the CONCLUSION of the GLACIAN TRILOGY is here! "A gritty fantasy of betrayal and vengeance.” -Publishers Weekly “Despite the icy setting, Ledge is a sizzling story filled with sexual tension, betrayal, and stolen heritage and a series to watch out for.” – British Fantasy Society "Immediately gripping...a triumph for all fantasy lovers..." -Raven Kennedy, Author of the Plated Prisoner Series “The Bridgerton crowd will love it. But so too will the Buffy crowd… The heroes are compelling, rugged but likeable, and there’s a confident immediacy to the present-tense prose.” – SFX Magazine Stacey McEwan is the best-selling author of the Glacian Trilogy, which is began with LEDGE, continued with CHASM, and is now complete with the September release of VALLEY. Saga Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced that they acquired the rights to the Australian author's two-book romantic fantasy series. The first novel, titled A Forbidden Alchemy, is expected to hit shelves next year. LEDGE has been translated into three languages, which is amazing, as her high school English teacher once called her writing "above year level standard." Stacey received a bachelor's degree in education in 2012 and remains a school teacher by day. She is a book reviewer and content creator on multiple platforms, including Tiktok and Instagram. Stacey first published after book lovers of the internet encouraged her to share her story ideas. She was born and raised on the Gold Coast, Australia, and still resides in her hometown with her husband, two children and one questionable dog. https://www.staceymcewanbooks.com/ TO THE MOON ALLISON This LIVE podcast brings you interviews with trending authors in Science Fiction, Fantasy, Speculative Fiction, and Romance.

KEEPER OF SORROWS--DEBUT SEPTEMBER 2024 On a planet stripped of wind, entire ecosystems lie in ashes, leaving humans to the mercy of the sole surviving bee species on a remote isle. Whoever wins the competition to rule the bees, rules the world. When her sister Lenita wins the bid to become Keeper, Naokah’s jealousy razes their relationship. The induction ceremony is looming, and Naokah is faced with regret. Willing to atone at any cost, she arrives on the gloomy Isle of Bees. But Lenita is gone. To find her, Naokah will not only have to compete against ruthless envoys, but face her debilitating fear of bees. As she braves the eerie fortress with sprawling wings of hives, malice stalks her in the darkness and visions untether her from reality. But when the envoys start disappearing and dying, it’s a race against her fraying sanity to confront the reigning Keeper – who’s guarding the darkest secret of all. KEEPER OF SORROWS, out September 2024 Growing up, Rachel wanted to be Sir William Wallace, James Horner, or Stephen King. Unfortunately, the U.S. Army doesn’t issue claymore swords, and she’s painfully tone deaf (just ask her bagpipe instructor, who tries not to wince as she plays), so that left writing—a campaign that would wage on for a quarter century, leaving Rachel bruised, bloody, and downright defeated. She’s been a soldier, maid, door-to-door bookseller, Fikes Family Farm field hand–thanks Pops!–leasing agent, baker, journalist, pageant queen/director, wiper of butt sweat (tanning salon), seller of overpriced lingerie at Victoria’s Secret, and dejected Wal-Mart cashier. All of which she either strategically retreated or succumbed to her injuries. Eventually, with skin thicker than chain mail, a shield of resolve, and the reckless, indefatigable hope of a warrior poet, Rachel finally fought her way into publishing. *lobs claymore sword she found on eBay; Horner’s Braveheart theme amplifies After quite the adventure, Rachel takes refuge in a hobbit hole in Austin, Texas, squirreling away all the coffee, whisky, and plants she can get her paws on, and teaching ESL to the most amazing students in the world. But since teaching and writing don’t pay the bills, she often sells her body to clinical trials. In fact, one of her books was written in one such research facility, where she was a lab rat for thirty-three glorious days. The side effects weren’t too terrible either. She just wears long skirts now to hide her tail. https://rachelfikes.com/ #fantasyauthor #debutauthor #keeperofsorrows #flametreepress TO THE MOON ALLISON This LIVE podcast brings you interviews with trending authors in Science Fiction, Fantasy, Speculative Fiction, and Romance.
