A Glimmer of Destiny, Book 1 of the Glimmer Steel Saga: Volume 1 - Tapa blanda

A Glimmer of Destiny

How can one moment in a young man’s life become the turning point between doom and deliverance for an entire world?
Aiden Finn is an orphan, comfortable in his quiet life working at the School of Breen when everything is turned upside down by a casual bet between two young nobles. One that cause him to use the forbidden Glimmer Stones which create constructs of physical light, and by law only nobles are allowed to touch.
Threatened with death by duchy law and evil forces intent on capturing him and his dark secret, Aiden is forced to learn how to control this emerging power to save all that he holds dear. However, will that which saves him also be his world's downfall? The dreaded Mourning Lords, beings that came from the dawn of the Cataclysm four thousand years earlier once more walk the land, searching for an answer to their torment. Will Aiden learn how to become a master of Glimmer Steel or will the mystery of the Cataclysm and the destruction of technology drown him as surely as it nearly cracked the world in half?
A Glimmer of Truth, Book 2 of the Glimmer Stone Saga will be available in September 2016. (Chapter 1 of book 2 is included as a sneak peek!) A Glimmer of War, Book 3 of the Glimmer Stone Saga will be available January 2017.

It has been a fantastic two months since my first novel has been published. I am on track for book 2 of the Glimmer Steel Saga to be released in September, which I sincerely hope many of you will be looking forward to. To tell you a little about myself, I grew up an army brat and have lived in such auspicious places as Japan and the middle of Oklahoma. When I finally left the wings of my parents, I was living in Hawaii which is a beautiful place filled with friendly spirits. Who can argue with wearing shorts and T-shirts every day? Apparently I was, since I then moved to Portland, Oregon in 1996. The trees and green were just calling to me, and a friendly, laid back city is where I naturally find my place. With additions, of course. I couldn't just do things normally, and was heavily involved in the SCA which is a friendly, medieval recreation society where you can pummel your best friends with heavy sticks while wearing armor. Much fun! and good for sword fighting scenes, as well. Not that Aiden, the star of my current series, IS a fighter yet, but eventually he'll get frisky enough. I'm also a single dad, just entering the twilight of my parenthood with one child out on her own, and another at seventeen. Let me tell you, it is an accomplishment and honor to have raised them. I'm also of the school of thought that getting your book out within 3 months is not only do-able, but slow. If someone ever tells you that 1000 words a month is ok? They are lying to you. Push the publish button! You can do it. Enjoy! Visit my website at www.spencerpierson.com and join my newsletter for future updates at http://eepurl.com/b7yV-5
