Green Stone Healing Series *Giveaway*

The Vision Book One by C.L. Talmadge

About The Book:
On occasion, fiction emerges that can transform the way we think about ourselves and our universe. These ground-breaking novels interweave timeless, compelling tales of romantic love, action and adventure, and just a dash of mysticism with an unblinking take on equally enduring issues of race, gender, religion, power, and even reality itself. Such is the Green Stone of Healing epic fantasy series. Set in a mythical island nation called Azgard, this saga chronicles what happens when politics and piety collide. Unlike most works of its genre, this series features four generations of strong female characters. The triumphs and tragedies, hopes and heartbreaks of these fictional women play out on a male-dominated stage, where a theocratic oligarchy bent on total world domination instead serves up its own self-destruction. The series' protagonists own or inherit a mysterious green gem that mends broken bones and broken hearts, shields against missiles, and can render its wearer invisible. All of them try to offer a healing, inclusive alternative to the priests who discriminate against anyone who does not look like or share the religious views of Azgard's ruling elites. Readers who become fond of the characters will be delighted that many of them reincarnate and their stories continue, affirming that not even death can forever divide loved ones - or enemies. Book one: Lieutenant Helen Andros, a military physician, is caught in theocratic machinations that almost cost her life. Illegitimate, presumed orphaned, she learns her father's identity as one of Azgard's powerful Toltec lords and remains a target for the Temple of Kronos.

You can buy this book at The Vision on Amazon.

The Fallout Book Two by C.L. Talmadge

About The Book:
Unaware of her gem's potentials, Lieutenant Helen Andros clashes with her powerful newfound parent, while both of them face growing danger from the state-sanctioned Temple of Kronos. An otherworldly being shows Helen the past-life origins of her anger and fears.

Buy this book at The Fallout on Amazon.

The Scorpions Strike Book Three by C.L. Talmadge

About The Book:
Helen Andros and her newly reconciled father endure proscription and savage punishment by the Temple of Kronos. Helen learns basic energy manipulation from the Mist-Weaver and first uses her green stone for healing. A treacherous ally plots her father's assassination.


My Thoughts On The Series:
I love it. I was hooked from the first paragraph of book one. It took me awhile to read the first three books, not because they were long, but because I read slowly, making sure I did not miss anything, and I wanted to understand the story well. Really great series. I am anxious to read book four!

About The Author:
Author C.L. Talmadge writes political columns under the byline Candace Talmadge for The North Star National. She is also now writing about the link between the paranormal and spirituality for Unexplained-Mysteries.com. While still a teenager, Talmadge met Helen, the first-generation heroine of her speculative fiction, the Green Stone of Healing series. Helen marched into Talmadge's thoughts and daydreams and took over as the most outspoken of the many characters that the future novelist dreamed of bringing to life between the covers. Talmadge's career as a professional writer began in 1976 as associate editor of The Suffolk County News. She has been a fulltime staff writer at or freelanced for numerous media that include Adweek, Business Week, the Dallas Times Herald, Forbes, the International Herald Tribune, The New York Times, and Reuters America. Talmadge also is familiar with the intimate link between spirituality, energy, and healing. In 1999, she published non-fiction about emotional and spiritual healing resolution based on the Sunan method of working in the energy of human consciousness. This book, Hope is in the Garden: Healing Resolution Through Unconditional Love, provides an expanded definition of energy that demonstrates the connection between matter, spirit, heart, and mind. To write her multigenerational novel, Talmadge delved into her own past lives and those of her family, friends, clients, and acquaintances. The fictionalized result is the Green Stone of Healing saga. Talmadge resides in Texas with her partner and editor, Jana L. Simons.
