Presenting the #2 Epic Fantasy Bestseller on Amazon!
Roy Huff
Release Date: 6 February 2013
Publisher: self-published
Owen Sage is the emblematic college freshman at Easton Falls University. He studies hard, plays hard, and is incredibly charming. With all the worries about his first year in college, he was not prepared for what would happen next. His way of life was flipped upside down when he was drawn into a different world, a world unbeknownst to him. He mysteriously crossed into another dimension, into the beautiful land of Everville. His tragic excitement was abruptly halted when he discovered that there was a darkness forged against both the natural world, which he knew well, and the new land which he discovered, Everville. He must devise a plan to save both worlds while joining forces with the race of Fron and The Keepers, whom both harbor hidden secrets he must learn in order to gain power over the evil that dwells in The Other In Between.From now until February 15th, Everville: The First Pillar is available for FREE download via Amazon.
With a race against time to save both worlds, his short time at Easton Falls did not quite prepare him for the evil, dark forces he must fight in order to conquer The Other In Between.

i look for a fantasy novel to totally take me away from RealLife!!!
ReplyDeletethank you for the giveaway!!
I look for likable characters and a story that is exciting and is full of surprises! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with the ebook version, thanks! I lot lots of action, likeable characters and snarky dialog.
ReplyDeleteI look for an intriguing world and I like when fantasy is believable an has something in common with this world, not completely fantastical and difficult to figure out.
ReplyDeleteYou know, fantasy authors always boast of their genre and say that it allows them to "be unique". That is seldom the case. So, I look for a "unique uniqueness". Redundant, but true.
ReplyDeleteI think this is accomplished when an author takes time to develop a world. You know with the maps that they drafted? I love when the create a new language as well. If you are going to write a longass book, and call it an epic fantasy make it worth the while! :D Oh, and I enjoy reading different points of view. It is not too exciting reading an epic fantasy voiced by one character.
This is my favorite genre, so I tend to be picky. XD
I have to have characters who are sympathetic, likable, strong. Fantasy is great but it's comforting to see a spark of humanity, similarity in a hero/heroine. I can't relate if there is nothing to relate to. Also, if I have to have a dictionary to understand what characters are saying, I tend to give up.

Great characters and an amazing fantasy world :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, anything and everything really. As long as the characters are strong, I'm hooked. I love me some magic, though ;)
ReplyDeleteI look for strong characters and an interesting world.
ReplyDeleteA chance to escape from my everyday life. Just a change of pace that keeps your interest page by page. abrennan09@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have an open mind when it comes to fantasy. I love that they can pretty much include anything you can possibly think of :)

I'm big on world building, especially for fantasy. I'm always looking for dynamic characters to tag along with of course.
ReplyDeleteI like good character development. Thanks!
ReplyDeletea fully fleshed out world with rules that they have to follow (or break) - regnod(at)yahoo(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteI look for unique & engaging. Characters that I have a vested interest in.
ReplyDeleteLikable characters cover a multitude of other sins. I recently read a fantasy (not this one) that felt like a straight adaptation of someone's D&D campaign, but it was a fun read because I enjoyed how the characters interacted. An interesting world for those characters to live in is also essential. (Hm. I ought to write about some people in Limbo some time, just for the challenge. :)
ReplyDeleteConnection between characters and a complete world!

Strong, likable, diverse and reasonable characters; real conflicts and problems protagonist(s) needs to overcome; beautifully created world that is also credible and believable. I like when the fantasy world exists in other/parallel dimensions, it is so far, yet so close. You never know when and how you`ll enter it, you probably don`t even know about it`s existence but when it happens - everything changes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making it international and thanks for the print copies, I really appreciate that! :)

I look for a great storyline, magic and dragon!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for giveaway :)
I look for a fantastical world, so I guess, great world building.
ReplyDeleteDiverse and well fleshed out characters and/or races, creative and highly developed world, if it suppose to be epic be sure to make the conflict feel epic, a unique and well thought out magic system, and....well there are so many aspects that go into really great fantasy. It takes a great deal of work and creativity. I applaud the authors that pull it off.
ReplyDeleteA great story ... of course :)
ReplyDeleteI look for strong, likable characters, a well developed world and obviously a story which has a great innovative plot. Of course there has to be plenty of magic, spells and amazing fantastical creatures
ReplyDeleteLikable characters & an amazing fantasy world!!! Thank you for the giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteI like characters that have really different personality's and that are likable and relateable
ReplyDeleteI like interesting characters that are funny and exciting!
ReplyDeleteI look for a book with authentic characters in a fantasy setting.
ReplyDeleteGreat world building. If the author gets it right there is few things that I love more in a fantasy novel.
ReplyDeleteI like when fantasy is believable an has something in common with real world
ReplyDelete...a story that allows you to enter a different world and leave ours, even if just for a while. Captivating characters and a mysterious plot line.

Vivid characters and a gripping story.
ReplyDeleteEntertaining and interesting characters/story line.
ReplyDeleteDeborah
It must be unique and it must have a good story.
ReplyDeleteI like fantasy books which have that je ne sais quoi. I love staying all night long reading an amazing fantasy book. The characters and the story line are very important for me to continue a book :)
ReplyDeleteHuzzah! So glad that I won a hardcover copy! Looking forward to reading it! Thanks, Karielle and Roy!
