THE SOUL SEARCHER--WHY I LOVE FANTASY WRITING



By Erin Howard


New Release: The Soul Searcher (The Kalila Chronicles, #2)


One of the things that I love most about fantasy books is how you can escape into the story as if you were there along with the characters. I’ve always been fascinated with story worlds and how they can be used to show complex issues and make you think about your own life.
When I was writing the first and second book in my series, The Kalila Chronicles, I wanted to have characters that are real and show the messy parts in life. Everyone has something that they struggle with at some point in their lives. I hope readers will not only be able to escape and enjoy my stories but also to identify with my characters and know that they aren’t alone.  I love how the fantasy genre can bring aspects to life. 
Back cover blurb:

Elnora’s parents gave her one rule:
Stay hidden away at all costs.
Elnora Scott is used to her survival depending on the decisions of others. Locked away in her safe house, it is easy to follow her parents’ dying wishes until an angel, demon, and seer show up on her doorstep. Now, waking up in a dirty cell, she wishes she would have gone with them when she had the chance, because the very ones who unknowingly ushered the kidnapper to her location may be the only ones who can save her.
When Thea learns that Elnora may be in danger, she doesn’t hesitate to go find her. Thea thought stepping through the portal would be her greatest obstacle, but it only reveals a more sinister threat.
