Neverqueen (book 2)

Neverqueen 2

The wizard wanted a male heir, but when he saw that the boy born to him was malformed he determined to kill him. Born into a life of cruelty, Valor could easily have fallen into his father’s darkness. Instead he set out to undo the wizard’s madness by covering those around him with the Creator’s compassion and light.

The prophets are at work in the shadows, bringing forward the Neverqueen as the next prophetess whose reign will bring hope to the people of Paradon, and to her own people by the Eiderveis River. Her mysterious interactions and judgements will settle a caution and a terror in the hearts of the sorcerers and others who ignore her warnings. Unlikely alliances are formed in this story of hope that rises through adverse circumstances.

Flaming Pen Press is a dream come true. When I was growing up I was a voracious reader. Some of my favorites included Pilgrim’s Progress, Robinson Crusoe, Black Beauty, Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Holy War, Hinds Feet on High Places, etc. But of equal, and even greater fascination, old biographies that I dug up from library sales. My mother and I would rummage through those sales and many treasures were to be found in those days. American heroes, old-world heroes, worldwide conquests, etc. These are the books that opened the world, enlarged the possibilities for my future.

Back in 2009 we published a couple of fantasy books by other authors, the vision being to expand as a traditional book publisher. In some ways we succeeded, though the financial model collapsed and it has taken years to finally reposition us for success. Flaming Pen Press will now begin active growth through newly acquired titles, first focusing on acquiring antiquarian books that young adult readers will find both enjoyable and educational.

I am excited to encourage the futures of many young adult readers, and even re-introduce titles for middle school readers.

Parents and educators! I want you to succeed in building that love of reading, that strength of literacy in which area many students now fail. At Flaming Pen Press we offer books that are highly entertaining and of a strong moral fiber.

This blog will be used to announce each new title that we are offering and detail its intended audience. Reading isn’t just good, it is essential to creative growth and fun besides!
