Book Tour – “The Mirage” by Clemy Warner-Thompson

I’ve got another great book tour for you today – “The Mirage” by Clemy Warner-Thompson…

 

And here’s the author herself…

 

Clemy was born in the UK in 1991 where she still lives, growing up alongside one younger and three older brothers.

Books and writing was an interest that she began to develop from the first years of secondary school, and on her thirteenth birthday, she began to plan and design the idea to write a fantasy novel. She finished secondary school with high GCSE’s and then went on into further education to study English and all aspects of art and design. After six years of writing, planning and overall editing of the book, it was successfully completed, containing over 82,000 words, and self published in the first week of 2011.

With high expectations in herself, she immediately began to write a second novel in the series, while keeping her art and design a part of the process. The achievement of completing the first novel ‘Purest Light,’ allowed the ideas of the second to flow much easier and it was completed by early 2012. As she was writing the third and final book, New Beginnings, at the same time, the series was finished by its publication in 2013.

Writing is now a part of her everyday and she has now started her newest project, The Mirage, which is book two of three.

You can follow her on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, Smashwords and Lulu.

And here’s the book…

 

Abbii can’t remember a time when Shadows weren’t chasing her.

Everywhere she goes they are there, hunting her down.

Since discovering the magical powers in her grasp, she has fought against members of the Forgotten- those pulled into Darkness willingly- and her friends have fallen into danger. Innocent people have lost their lives and the Shadows have spread. Abbii’s friends have fought to remain by her side, but something inside of her has changed.

She is filled with regret and pain of losing her best friend Jake, though she keeps it hidden well- not even Nate can see the damage. Her lack of emotion pushes him to leave and he is thrown into his own spiralling destiny.

Abbii has a choice- to stay by her friends’ sides and fight to protect their home, or leave the realm she knows and search for those that she has lost. Her heart is broken but her friends cannot help her. She has to choose between searching for Jake in the Dark, or whether to return to Nate’s side and keep the Light burning brightly.

The question is, will Light be able to save her from the Darkness within?

You can buy it at Smashwords, and also Lulu.com.

AND, as a special treat, Clemy has provided us with an interview with Nate, one of the heroes of the book…

• Tell us a little about yourself. How do you look, strengths/weaknesses?

I’ve been staying at the College since Daniel found me in the gardens. Took me a long time to get my memories back from before then, but they’re mostly whole now. I’m around 21, but I haven’t had a real birthday yet- that’s the problem with being part of another. It’s hard but I’m not one to give up. I have dark hair like Jake, but my eyes are hazel. I’m glad there’s a clear difference between us, though it doesn’t feel like it sometimes. My body is coping well with my magic, but I have a lot of scars. I feel Jake in my head all the time, but at least Abbii keeps me strong.

• Can you tell us a little about your magic?

My magic materialised when I woke up at the Everglades. I didn’t know at the time it was because of Abbii being so close. I can speak telepathically, move things, teleport and see into the future… one day, I hope to lose them, or rather the connection with Jake. I’ve had enough.

• Due to everything that has happened, you kinda got tossed headfirst into everything. Can you describe what happened in the Star, and what you’re going to do now?

Finding out that I’m part of Jake, wasn’t exactly easy. I tried to ignore the feeling in my head and push my powers aside, by keeping Abbii safe and making sure she knew how to protect herself… but he’s always in my head. I trained Abbii to use her powers and helped her reach Pennyworth to search for information about Jake. We both found something we didn’t expect. Tricia Christian was alive, and so was Jake. We also learned that being The Star, gave Abbii an extraordinary power. She had resurrected Jake and in turn, created me. I hate him. I won’t let him harm her. If I have to search the Dark for him then that is what I’m going to do.

• How does it make you feel to know that your soul is part of Jakes? That Abbii is drawn to both of you?

It’s hard, knowing Abbii wants nothing more than be by Jake’s side, but she doesn’t understand… he’ll hurt her, one way or another. I have to help my friends, regardless of what Abbii believes. They need our help- she knows that, but she’s lost her way. My soul is part of him, but also part of her, we’re a triangle. Whilst 3 of us remain, one will continually weaken. One needs to die, but I won’t let Abbii fall.
