I had come to a dangerous place, eagerly and with abandon fully latched to my soul. Stepping out of the mud-splattered jeep, I mentally cursed the wretched thing for the banging and jostling I had received on my way up through the trees.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
After a quick check that I had my knife and packs, I walked into the treacherous mysteries of the Vale do Javari.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
The Amazon rainforest was vast, many portions of it unexplored, this place least of all. The ground was sodden and soft, rain-soaked leaves licking my pants as I passed. The possibility that it could have been thousands of years since humans had lived here thrilled me to the point of such utter disbelief that I didn’t hear the person behind me, at first.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
“Olivia, are you listening to the man?”</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I tore my eyes unwillingly from the vine-laden trees, branches twisting toward me like they were reaching for me, beckoning me to explore their depths.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Sighing sharply, I glanced over my shoulder at Kelby. He was the newbie on the team and in my opinion took too much stock in precautionary measures. No doubt the Brazilian official standing near his shoulder had been touting exactly that.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
My silence giving him answer enough, Kelby shook his head. “He warns us that the area is heavily populated with an unusual amount of jaguars and to be cautious.”</div>

The first in our new series of recommended reading is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cursed-Key-Fantasy-Romance-Trilogy-ebook/dp/B07QLNG55C" target="_blank">The Cursed Key</a>. Check out the blurb to see why:<br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">A forgotten past, a dark mage, and an unyielding curse.</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Another team beat free-spirited archaeologist Olivia Perez to the dig of a lifetime, and now she’s left with the choice to wait for scraps or brave a dangerous, dusty tomb in hopes of finding other priceless artifacts. Her reward? A mysterious key she has no idea is cursed. Soon, Olivia realizes she’s brought home more than just an ancient rarity.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Malevolent visions begin to plague her. Unnerved by what they reveal, she casts away the key…unknowingly placing it into the waiting hands of a dark mage bent on destruction. Only when a shifter agent from the Paranormal Intelligence and Tracking Organization arrives searching for the key does Olivia realize what a huge mistake she’s made. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Forced to team up with the ill-tempered shifter, her journey to reclaim the cursed key leads down a twisting path of dark histories, dangerous magic, and deadly obstacles. But Olivia’s efforts to take back the ancient relic before the dark mage can destroy the lives of humans, shifters, witches, and fae alike are thwarted by her own dark past…and a price steeper than what she’s willing to pay.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Fans of Tomb Raider and Ilona Andrews will love the blend of urban fantasy, magical adventure, and paranormal romance in</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> THE CURSED KEY </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">from Miranda Brock and New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Hamilton!</i><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After silently stalking one of my favorite authors’
Facebook page for months, I finally met her at one of her speaking engagements.
She invited me to attend the first annual HallowRead mini-con held in Ellicott
City, Maryland, and when I got there I felt like I’d fallen into
nerd-girl/fan-girl Heaven. Classes about
shifters and fairies and gods were held throughout different buildings along
Main Street featuring indie, and traditionally published, authors. I was able
to meet writers, face-to-face, and ask them questions in a relaxed yet charged
atmosphere. To be around readers and writers who shared the same passions as I
did made me feel less like the odd girl in the room jotting down random notes
and more like one of the awesome nerds who had found an awesome group to be
with. Their message to me about being an author was all the same: get off your
keister and start submitting, and if you can’t find anyone willing to publish
your work then do it yourself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Two self-published books, two short stories and an
article later I told myself that I would cross the invisible line and be a contributing
author at the 2016 HallowRead. Rachel Rawlings, founder of the HallowRead and amazing
author, was one of my original encouragers and when she told me I would be a participating
author at this year’s event I felt like the newly crowned prom queen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The HallowRead is mini-con where lovers of
Paranormal Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Steam Punk go to find books, new
favorite authors, and maybe even a ghostly encounter. Writers can find
encouragement and sometimes a pushy author telling them to make it happen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So whether you’re a reader, writer or are trying to
figure out exactly what Steam Punk is, the HallowRead is the place to figure it
out and have a hell of a good time doing it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Have you ever been to a convention and wished you favorite authors had talked more about a certain character, plot line or even themselves? Right now Hallowread is working on panel topics and we want to hear from you! Stop by our facebook page www.facebook/Hallowread or leave a comment and tell us what panels you'd like to attend. If your panel is picked we'll enter your name in a drawing to moderate on of the panels during the event!Rachel Rawlingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05866305262539268769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554462242543916401.post-43095446287712983602013-03-27T10:23:00.001-07:002013-04-19T05:28:13.408-07:00Confirmed Authors for Hallowread 2013<br />
