Alchemy of Glass
Pyr, April 21, 2020
Trade Paperback and eBook, 376

The Alchemy of Glass weaves a tale magical as spun glass and terrifying as a shattered mirror, drawing upon cutting edge science and the most ancient of Celtic mythology, intertwining the magic of fairy lore and the harsh reality of difficult choices, returning us to the world of immortal apothecary Gaelan Erceldoune, as his past, present and future collide, in an attempt to prevent a catastrophic future.

Tina LeCount Myers (2018)

Breath of Gods
The Legacy of Heavens 3
Night Shade Books, March 10, 2020
Hardcover, Trade Paperback, 460 pages

The overlapping worlds of gods and men collide in the concluding volume of an epic fantasy trilogy set in cold harsh arctic lands.

In the Northlands of Davvieana, power rests in the hands of the High Priest of the Order of Believers. But his earthly supremacy is contested. Those few Piijkij that remain continue to honor the oath of the Brethren of Hunters: protect the Olmmoš people from danger. This time, however, it is not the immortal Jápmemeahttun who represent a threat to human freedom, but their own kind. Against insurmountable odds, this small band of dedicated men will use any and all means open to them to bring down the man who betrayed them all.

The struggles of men, however, mean little to the immortals beyond the vail in the Song of All. Vanquished, facing a doomed existence, any hope for a future slowly slips away as the best efforts of Dárja and Marnej prove inadequate. When they both fail to safeguard those closest to them, the bond between these two unlikely allies, forged by necessity and emboldened by a tentative passion, may not be enough to overcome the secrets and lies that have shadowed their lives.

When betrayal and shame guide the future, the outcome can be treacherous. For both humans and immortals to find their way forward, they must seek out those who offer an unprecedented vision over a quest for power.

The Seared Lands
The Dragon's Legacy 3
Titan Books, March 17, 2020
Trade Paperback and eBook, 560 pages

The concluding novel in the Dragon's Legacy trilogy as the world descends into war and the conflicts may awaken the Earth Dragon--leading to total destruction.

Sulema Ja'Akari, heir to the throne of the Dragon King, lies near death, imprisoned by her half brother Pythos. To survive, she must agree to rescue the one person who holds the key to unseating the usurper--a quest that will take Sulema across the vast, apocalyptic desert of the Seared Lands.

Overwhelmed by the responsibility, Sulema seeks to flee, but is captured and cast into the arena. There she must fight to the death against Kishah, whose very name means "vengeance." Kishah, who is Sulama's closest friend and fellow warrior, Hannei.

Across the world, vast forces gather. Fleeing a swarm of invaders, the child queen Maika seeks to lead her people across the wasteland to safety. Jian the half-breed prince musters an army from the Twilight Lands, while Ismai the Lich King gathers an undead horde, determined to reclaim the Dragon crown.

Yet the greatest threat lies below. Sajani the earth dragon stirs. If she wakes, the world will be destroyed. Only the heir to the Dragon King may sing Sajani back to sleep... if there still is time.

Revenant Gun
Machineries of Empire 3
Solaris, June 12, 2018
Trade Paperback and eBook, 400 pages

Machineries Of Empire, the most exciting science fiction trilogy of the decade, reaches its astonishing conclusion!

When Shuos Jedao wakes up for the first time, several things go wrong. His few memories tell him that he's a seventeen-year-old cadet--but his body belongs to a man decades older. Hexarch Nirai Kujen orders Jedao to reconquer the fractured hexarchate on his behalf even though Jedao has no memory of ever being a soldier, let alone a general. Surely a knack for video games doesn't qualify you to take charge of an army?

Soon Jedao learns the situation is even worse. The Kel soldiers under his command may be compelled to obey him, but they hate him thanks to a massacre he can't remember committing. Kujen's friendliness can't hide the fact that he's a tyrant. And what's worse, Jedao and Kujen are being hunted by an enemy who knows more about Jedao and his crimes than he does himself...

Rochelle Staab (2011)

A Mind for Murder
A Mind for Murder Omnibus
JABberwocky Literary Agency, January 9, 2018
eBook, 670 pages

In author Rochelle Staab’s bestselling A Mind for Murder mystery series, classic Hollywood noir gets a modern, mystical twist. An L.A. psychologist who eschews all things supernatural matches wits with a handsome professor of the occult as they team up to solve Tinsel Town’s spookiest murders…

Divorced psychologist Liz Cooper doesn’t believe in fate, but it sure seems like an otherworldly force is bent on her working with occult professor, Nick Garfield. Whether Liz is tracking a tarot card killer, investigating a neighborhood witch, or clearing her own name in an unusual murder, the strange cases keep coming. And while Liz takes a practical approach to sleuthing, Nick explores the more alternative theories. But be it with practical evidence or preternatural clues, Liz and Nick won’t quit until the cases are solved.

Now, readers can enjoy all the suspenseful, fast-paced whodunits in the Anthony and Agatha nominated, Watson Award winning Mind for Murder series, collected for the first time in this omnibus, which includes Who Do, Voodoo?, Bruja Brouhaha, and Hex on the Ex. Packed with snappy banter, sizzling chemistry, and a supporting cast of characters as unique as L.A. itself, the Mind for Murder mysteries are a smart and sophisticated series that proves it’s far more fun when great minds don’t think alike…

The Dragon's Legacy
The Dragon's Legacy 1
Titan Books, March 13, 2018
Trade Paperback, 400 pages
Hardcover and eBook, April 18, 2017

Far below the desert, the Earth Dragon slumbers fitfully. From the darkness of her dreams come whispers of war… and death.

Sulema is a newly minted warrior and a true Ja’Akari—a daughter of the unforgiving desert. But her people are fading from the world. The warriors and wardens are hard-pressed to protect those who remain, and the vash’ai—great cats who have called the people kithren for as long as there have been stories—bond with fewer humans each year.

When a mysterious man appears in her home of Aish Kalumm, Sulema learns that the Dragon King is dying in distant Atualon. As he fades, so does the magic that sings the Earth Dragon to sleep. And, she soon finds, there are some who would have the dragon wake, so they might laugh as the world burns.

The Forbidden City
The Dragon’s Legacy 2
Titan Books, May 15, 2018
Hardcover and eBook, 512 pages

In this book, Jian begins a brutal and bloody climb up the ranks of the Daechen as the Emperor’s long plans near fruition.

Sulema is likewise initiated into the ways of Atualon and the power of Atulfah, and finds that her father’s bright city is built on a foundation of dark and terrible secrets.

Hafsa Azeina begins a trek down paths stranger and more dangerous than even she could have imagined.

And the Zeeranim must face not only their traditional, external enemies, but treachery and betrayal from within.

The Uploaded
Angry Robot, September 5, 2017
Mass Market and eBook, 448 pages

The world is run from the afterlife, by the minds of those uploaded at the point of death. Living is just waiting to die… and maintaining the vast servers which support digital Heaven. For one orphan that just isn’t enough – he wants more for himself and his sister than a life of servitude. Turns out he’s not the only one who wants to change the world…

Split Feather
Daughter of the Midnight Sun 1
Titan Books, September 12, 2017
Trade Paperback and eBook, 400 pages

Siggy Aleksov sees demons and talks with creatures she knows aren’t really there. Taken from her family as a child, she is dogged by memories of abandonment, abuse, and mental health issues. Siggy suffers from a hot temper, cluster headaches, caffeine addiction, and terminal foul language.

She complicates her life even more when she saves the life of a talented assassin sent to kill her. Deciding to get the hell out of Dodge, Siggy travels to the Alaska bush to find out who she really is. The answer is more fantastic that she could have imagined—and she can imagine a lot.

Communication Failure
Epic Failure Trilogy 2
Saga Press, November 7, 2017
Hardcover, Trade Paperback and eBook, 368 pages

In this sequel to Mechanical Failure, Captain Rogers, despite his best attempts to do otherwise, has become the acting admiral of the 331st Meridan fleet. His first task: worrying. A lot.

The rival Thelicosan fleet, under the influence of bad intelligence, a forbidden romance, and a communication officer with an eardrum injury, is about to break a two-hundred-year-old nonaggression pact. They have offered a vague, easily misinterpreted message: “We’re invading.” Rogers isn’t sure, but he thinks that’s probably bad.

War is hell, especially when you’ve forgotten how to fight one.

TQ:  Welcome to The Qwillery. When and why did you start writing?

DW:  Thanks for having me! I began writing as soon as I could read, probably age four or so. I know that’s when I announced that I wanted to be a writer. When I was in second grade, I wrote my first fantasy story. The teacher read it, called my mom, and told her that I was possessed by a demon.



TQ:  Are you a plotter, a pantser or a hybrid?

DW:  Plotter. My outlines have outlines. I probably have a hundred pages of outline for a three-hundred-page book, and on top of that there are constellation charts, moon charts, maps, worldbuilding notes…I may have a problem.



TQ:  What is the most challenging thing for you about writing?

DW:  Right now, time is a huge factor. I have a day job and, though I like the job and my coworkers, I resent that the best and most fruitful part of each day is given over to something that barely pays the bills and creates no new beauty. I get up at 0400 as often as I can; early mornings and the occasional day off are my writing time, and I guard that jealously.



TQ:  What has influenced / influences your writing?

DW:  A love of the genre as a whole is the biggest influence. Since a very young age I have gone to the Shire, to Narnia, to Westeros and Sharakhai and…everywhere. I’ve battled trolls and wicked kings, I’ve thrown fireballs and loved beautiful men.

I have also, too often, been locked out of the toy box because of my gender. As a young woman, I longed to see myself in a hero’s role more often, to see myself portrayed as something more than a victim or a prize or a whore. As an allegedly mature writer, I am determined to throw my toy box open and invite everyone to come on an adventure with me.



TQ:  Describe The Dragon's Legacy in 140 characters or less.

DW:  Empires war over scraps of power as a world dies, spiders weave webs of magic and deceit, and this poor girl still can’t lose her virginity.



TQ:  Tell us something about The Dragon's Legacy that is not found in the book description.

DW:  Let me see….hmmmm…spoilery, spoilery, no, spoilery…okay, I’ve got it. The world in THE DRAGON’S LEGACY, and our world, and every other world, are all connected through Illindra’s Web through the resonance created when someone makes art, because art is the stuff of a dragon’s dreams.



TQ:  What inspired you to write The Dragon's Legacy? What appeals to you about writing Epic Fantasy?

DW:  I was daydreaming about a lost princess who finds her way home only to learn that the glittery kingdom and fabulous king aren’t all they seem…

It was supposed to be a one-off, a sword and sorcery in the desert adventure, but the secondary characters needed their stories told, as well. Once I started daydreaming about Hafsa Azeina’s side of things, it was all over for me. I love being able to see world events unfold through the eyes of different, especially conflicting, characters.



TQ:  What sort of research did you do for The Dragon's Legacy?

DW:  For worldbuilding, I researched everything from the gravitational pulls of moons to aqueducts to whether or not anyone has tried to eat camel spiders’ eggs (yes). One of the most fascinating subjects I delved into was the differences and similarities between coming-of-age ceremonies for young male and female humans. We are an odd and interesting species.



TQ:  Please tell us about The Dragon's Legacy's cover.

DW:  The cover of THE DRAGON’S LEGACY was created by the Titan Books art magicians. And yes, it depicts Akari Sun Dragon in all his furious glory.



TQ:  In The Dragon's Legacy who was the easiest character to write and why? The hardest and why?

DW:  Strangely enough, I think Sulema was the most difficult character to write. She’s not as open and honest with herself as some of the other characters, so it was more difficult for me to discern her real motivations and reactions. Again unexpectedly, Daru’s story rolled onto the page as if he were at my shoulder narrating it. I’ve never been a nine-year-old boy, but I had no problem slipping into his world.



TQ:  Why have you chosen to include or not chosen to include social issues in The Dragon's Legacy?

DW:  THE DRAGON’S LEGACY is largely about social issues, though I hope I’m entertaining if not subtle in presenting these to my readers. I am writing from the heart about things that rouse me to passion; the pen is a mighty tool, and I feel moved to wield it.*

*I actually wield Scrivener and Microsoft Word. Nobody can read my handwriting.



TQ:  Which question about The Dragon's Legacy do you wish someone would ask? Ask it and answer it!

DW:  Am I dreaming, or did you write Pat Rothfuss into your book as a character?

DW2:  Ha! Back when I was an aspiring author, I very cheekily asked The Bearded One whether I might be so bold as to put him in my book. He charmingly, perhaps foolishly, agreed that I might.



TQ:  Give us one or two of your favorite non-spoilery quotes from The Dragon's Legacy.

DW:  “I would hate to have to kill so many people at once. I am old, and need my rest.” ~Ani



TQ:  What's next?

DW:  I have two projects now, both published by Titan Books. Here we have THE DRAGON’S LEGACY, and I am hard at work on Book 2: THE FORBIDDEN CITY. I also have an odd and wonderful urban fantasy-ish story, SPLIT FEATHER, which will debut in September of this year.



TQ:  Thank you for joining us at The Qwillery.

DW:  The pleasure was all mine.

The Dragon's Legacy
The Dragon's Legacy Book 1
Titan Books, April 18, 2017
Hardcover and eBook, 320 pages

In the heart of the singing desert, the people are fading from the world. Mothers bear few live children, the warriors and wardens are hard-pressed to protect those who remain, and the vash’ai—the great cats who have called the people kithren for as long as there have been stories— bond with fewer humans each year.

High above, the Sun Dragon sings a song of life and love, while far below, the Earth Dragon slumbers as she has since the beginning of time. Her sleep is fitful, and from the darkness of her dreams come whispers of war… and death.

Sulema is a newly minted warrior of the people and a true Ja’Akari—a daughter of the unforgiving desert. When a mysterious young man appears in her home of Aish Kalumm, she learns that the Dragon King is dying in distant Atualon. As the king fades, so does the magic that sings the Earth Dragon to sleep.

There are those who wish to keep the dragon trapped in endless slumber. Others would tap her power to claim it for their own. And there are those who would have her wake, so they might laugh as the world burns.

About Deborah

Deborah A. Wolf was born in a barn and raised on wildlife refuges, which explains rather a lot.  As a child, whether she was wandering down the beach of an otherwise deserted island or exploring the hidden secrets of Alaska with her faithful dog Sitka, she always had a book at hand.  She opened the forbidden door, and set foot upon the tangled path, and never looked back.
