Fall Into Fantasy Tour: Beyond the Shadows by Anna Hub
Welcome to the Fall Into Fantasy Tour, where we are keeping your mind off any end-of-summer blues and welcoming the cooler weather by introducing you to some incredible fantasy reads to curl up with and giving you plenty of chances to win awesome prizes!
Week 11: The Shadow Series
Book One: Beyond the Shadows
By Anna Hub
“A violent shudder travelled up my spine, each vertebrae snapping together like a zip lock, all my muscles tensed but I couldn’t tear myself away from the image …”
If your shadow was trying to consume you, how would you run from it?
What if you were afraid of something you could never escape?
Selena Parker’s journey into the unknown begins in her dreams, but the consequences are carried back into her conscious life and she soon realises paranormal forces are at work. Her shadow has become more than just an image, it is a gateway to a sinister new world where mysterious creatures roam and she is confronted by danger that challenges her will to survive. She finds the man whose fate is linked inexplicably to her own but she knows nothing of him and doubts his true nature. Her only option is to place her life in his hands while they search for a way to stop the shadows claiming them forever.

ABOUT ANNA HUB:
When I was a child I wanted to be an author, it seemed like a perfectly attainable dream to me then, but of course I grew up and realised that writing was not the best way to make a future for myself. So I discarded the idea and decided to do something normal.
When I studied nursing I thought I’d found a place for myself, but within six months of working in that field I knew I needed more. So in July 2007 I bought myself a lap top and started writing in my spare time. It took me two years to complete my first book and by the time it was finished I felt as though I’d learnt enough to pursue the dream.
My love for writing has grown rapidly since then and now I know that it’s something I can’t live without. It’s a place where there is no limit, no exact destination and my mind is free to exist in many worlds.
It’s a beautiful sanctuary.

What Comes Before an Alpha Reader?
Capybara
We all know about Beta Readers. They are the ones who read our works when we’re reading to get outside opinions. Very helpful and, many would say, essential people for authors.
Some of us get help from Alpha Readers. They are the ones who read the books before the Beta Readers. Some many get to it as it’s being written and see it in its raw state. Many times this is a single person or 2-3 trusted individuals. Not as common as Beta Readers.
But can anything come before an Alpha Reader? . . . Yes?
I’m talking about sounding boards, listeners, or whatever you want to call the people who hear your idea before you do anything else. That friend or family member who you can trust with the spark of a concept and get some insight. I’ve had a few friends take this role and it’s definitely a good way to flesh out ideas before writing that actual story.
So, does anybody else do something like this or do you keep an idea close to your chest until you actually start writing?
(I will admit that I haven’t been able to utilize a sounding board like I used to. Part of this post is stemming from an idea that is driving me nuts. I would talk about it here, but I’m learning that I can’t reveal too much on a blog post.)

The work part of self publishing
‘The Cock of the South’ now available on Amazon!
Sound the trumpets! The Cock of the South is officially available on the Amazon store. The cover on my sidebar is a link if you’re interested. They make great Christmas gifts, yada, yada.
This is an epic fantasy set in a Greco Roman environment. It includes dwarves, centaurs, cyclops, fairies, a nymph, and more. TCOS is my first fantasy, and I’m pretty darned excited about it.
Now the work continues. As soon as Amazon emailed me the link I modified my “About Me” page. I added a link to my Gravitar, and used the image widget to make sure the book was findable from my blog.
Amazon doesn’t add new books to my author page automatically. I just went there and told it to add TCOS. It should show up in 24 hours.
I added links to all my previous books. Who knows, if someone liked one of them they…
