(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, May 07, 2014 ) Spokane, WA -- Zharmae Publishing Press is thrilled to announce the upcoming publication of Frances Pauli's science fiction novel, Kundalis: Storm Dragon. This sure-to-please novel is currently scheduled to publish on June 19, 2014.
About the book
Karin knows she's gone completely insane--nuts--absolutely crazy, when she spots an insidious blue dragon twining through the trees at a rest stop in the Cascade Mountains. Despite agreeing to join her roommate at a psychic fair, she's never believed in anything metaphysical. She's pretty sure the Reiki treatment she succumbed to has brought on a frighteningly realistic hallucination--until they roll their mini-van in the middle of I-90, and she is rescued from the vehicle by the same monstrous blue figment of her imagination.
She awakens to find that she's been delivered to a cabin high in the mountains instead of to a proper hospital. The "doctor" looking out for her is more of a new-ager than a physician, and the people who own the house, including the urban highlander version of Fabio, don't have any intention of letting her leave.
Faced with the unimaginable and strapped to an all-too-real dragon, Karin must decide how to tame the beast or risk losing herself to it forever.
Kundalis: Storm Dragon is currently scheduled to publish on June 19, 2014.
About the author
Frances Pauli was born and raised in Washington State. She grew up with a love of reading and storytelling, and was introduced to Science Fiction and Fantasy at an early age through the books kept and read by her father.
Though she always held aspirations to be a writer, she chose to obtain her Bachelor's degree in visual arts. The stories, however, had other plans for her. By the time she entered her thirties, they were no longer content existing solely in her head. Compelled to free them, she set aside her easel and began to write in earnest.
Her original love of speculative fiction led her into the realms of Urban Fantasy and either romantic or humorous Science Fiction, where she finds herself quite comfortable. Her tales feature fairies, aliens, alternate dimensions, and the wonders of space, usually with at least a touch of romance.
Frances currently resides smack in the center of Washington with her husband and two children. When not writing she dabbles in insane things like puppetry, belly dancing and playing the ukulele. She collects rocks and is a firm believer in good wine, fine chocolate, and dangerous men.
