\"fantasy<\/a>At the heart of most fantasy novels is the quest. The quest to destroy evil and restore order to the universe. Whether it\u2019s to a pseudo medieval world, or a modern city, the theme is the same. What makes this story so powerful and enduring? From the ancient Greek myths to the latest mass market\u00a0paperback featuring a vampire detective, the answer is simple. It\u2019s a fairy tale in its purest form. Good\u00a0triumphs over evil. Unlike real life, where evil frequently goes unpunished, and good often loses.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the six o\u2019clock news; corrupt politicians, flawed religious leaders, corporations with\u00a0seemingly no morality. In hundreds of different ways, every day, we\u2019re told that life isn\u2019t fair. But in Fantasy novels it is. It may be a long road, filled with dragons, evil sorcerers, witches, barbarians, demons, and magic spells, but eventually good wins and evil loses. Like the fairy tales that were read\u00a0to us as children, it all ends happily ever after. And there\u2019s something very wonderful about that.<\/p>\n

Speaking of fantasy, my two humorous fantasy novels, And Don\u2019t Forget To Rescue The Princess,<\/em> and the next one in the series, And Don\u2019t Forget To Rescue The OTHER Princess<\/em>, have just gotten brand new, beautiful covers!\u00a0Each book is a separate adventure and can be read in any order.<\/p>\n

Both of these novels are available as ebooks from the Amazon Kindle store. >>\u00a0Click here.<\/a><\/p>\n
