Welcome, Tamara Hanks Grantham!







Crimson Tree Publishing is proud to present Bloodthorn, Olive Kennedy Fairy World MD Book 3, by Tamara Grantham!



Olive Kennedy doesn’t believe in fairy tales.
In a desperate attempt to earn income, fairy world therapist Olive Kennedy resorts to finding clients at the Texas Renaissance Festival. When she discovers the corpse of her client’s husband discarded in her booth, she realizes that earning her next paycheck is the least of her worries.
As more of Olive’s clients fall prey to the killer, the fairy prince and princess arrive from Faythander with troubling news. The starstone—the fairies’ source of magic—has been stolen, and the thief is hiding on Earth. The bloodthorn, a mythical beast born of fairy legends, is rumored to be responsible, but no one is certain if the creature exists.
Of course, the fairy royalty do not travel alone. Their protector happens to be the one man Olive never wanted to see again. Her ex—Kull.
Following a trail of clues, she learns that the killer may be a shape shifter. Worse, she learns the identity of his next target—her.
After months with no contact from Faythander, Olive hoped the magical drama was over, yet it seems she’ll never escape the beings who haunt her nightmares… or be free from the man who took away her happily ever after.

Excerpt:


The crisp air tasted of autumn. Long, slanting rays of sunlight lit the forest path as we made our way down the trail, our boots crunching stray sticks. Kull walked with a lightness in his step, and I realized I was smiling.

Dreamthief (Book 1)


Visiting Faythander is a nasty business. Forget the fairies and unicorns, most people come back with lost memories and mental problems. Olive Kennedy knows. She's the therapist who treats patients suffering from Faythander's side effects. Despite her empty bank account, she takes pride in her job as Houston’s only Fairy World medical doctor. She's never failed to cure a client—until now.\

Traveling back to Faythander wasn't on Olive's to-do list. But she has no choice. The fate of both Earth and Fairy depends on her ability to stop an ancient being called the Dreamthief. To complicate matters, she may be losing her heart to someone who can’t love her in return. Saving the world, she can handle. Falling in love—not so much.


As if battling the forces of evil wasn't difficult enough…

Spellweaver (Book 2)

Olive's to-do list: Feed the cat. Pay the rent. Save Faythander. Again. 
After Olive's last trip through Faythander, she wants nothing more than a nice vacation. But there's never time for relaxation when goblin treachery is afoot. When Geth, a goblin Spellweaver, destroys the Everblossom—a tree containing Faythander's pure magic—the fairy-world utopia begins to die. The bloom of the Everblossom is all that remains of pure magic. Now Olive must travel through Earth and Faythander to find a place where it will flourish. 
As a psychiatrist, her skills are top notch. However, her abilities to handle patients with abnormal mental behaviors will be put to the test when she confronts Geth. Nothing has prepared her for what he reveals to her about goblins and elves. As Olive's quest takes her from her home in Houston through the most dangerous places in Faythander, she learns that history is a muddled subject, especially when elves are involved. 
Her only comfort comes from Kull, her Viking warrior sidekick—who somehow negates her bad fortune. Yet how long can their relationship last when his past is brought to light? Olive will be tested beyond anything she has endured so far, as the secrets of Faythander's sordid and bloody past are exposed—one that could irrevocably alter the future and destroy the lives of everyone she loves.

Welcome to the Infirmary

Today is the release party for my sequel to Reluctant Guardian, The Elementalist! I am excited. I really am, but it's this debilitating cold I've contracted that makes it look otherwise. It's after nine in the morning and I'm still in my pajamas in bed, watching Captain Kirk act in a hotel commercial. There has got to be something better to watch  than this.

The alternative is to get into a nice, hot bath with a good book. That could clear my sinuses, but then I'd just lie there thinking of all the things I should be doing, like laundry, dishes, writing, ordering prizes for the release party, caring for my sick child. I think I'll just take a bath. The bathtub is truly a love/hate relationship, but he's loyal and always there, waiting. He's sounding better and better.

My 10 year old is home sick today too, but he has different symptoms, like puking his brains out. I'm grateful today that I'm not doing that.

So, now I will force myself into my loyal bathtub, I will read a book while I think of all the things I need to do, and then I will get out, sit by my window and watch the miracle of a winter wonderland in March... the first real snowstorm (for us) of the season.

Brevity is the the Soul of Wit

Brevity is the soul of wit? That explains a lot. My problem is I talk too much. I have always envied those who have a quick mind and a sharp wit. I want to be them when I grow up. I want to be able to write a turn of phrase to make butter melt. Alas, I don't think I fell into that talent pool. I try. I truly do, but when it comes to a great one-liner I have to think, and think, and think. I'm SLOW.

It doesn't seem to matter how hard I try, my old, Lyme brain has never recovered from its three years of non-use. Even though I have been Lyme free for almost a year now, I am still forgetful, ditzy, and I ramble on... and on... and on. My husbands does this quirky finger-across-the-throat-thing to let me know I've belabored a point for long enough. It's my signal to give it up.

I'm long winded. That is a talent I've had for years. I could talk, and talk, and talk some more. Give me a subject and I'll make it beg for death before I'm finished. THAT, I'm good at. Brevity? Nope. But I believe in miracles, and I have hope for the future. Here is a blog that I intend to study until my brain hurts. If you're curious and want to obtain a sharper wit, you might want to check it out too.

Her old classmate and suicide victim, Alisa Callahan, is the perfect candidate.
