Sci-Fi/Fantasy Author Launches Best Selling Book

Victoria, British Columbia, May 3, 2021 – The Sovereign, The Last War: Book Seven – written by author Sylvie Grayson has just concluded a successful book launch on Amazon with the book ranked as a #1 Best Seller in multiple categories.

Sylvie Grayson writes contemporary romantic suspense with attempted murder thrown in. She loves the intrigue and excitement of creating her stories. She also writes sci-fi/fantasy about the imagined world of Khandarken, but with the same suspense, spicy romance and murder.

After many years of ‘business’, she finds it wonderful to be doing what she loves. Sylvie lives in Western Canada near the Pacific Ocean where she was born, and travels whenever possible, having just finished a journey through Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong.

“I thought that the story was woven together in seamless perfection…you got intrigue and romance with a bit of a teaser at the end, setting up future works. I loved the characters of Nineteenth and Taslim. I read through the night to finish it, but it was worth it.”

– Nancy Lee

The book is available on Amazon in kindle and paperback formats.

The Sovereign, Book Seven by Sylvie Grayson

Excerpt of The Last War : Book Seven

Nineteenth began his customary tour around the Banderos territory. Regular workers made their rounds, leaving from the various border stations to patrol the boundaries, but he liked to have a look himself to see what was working, what wasn’t, what had changed since his last tour. He was the nineteenth son of Gerwal Banderos, who had taken control of this unclaimed territory near the end of The Last War, when things were still in an uproar as the Old Empire disintegrated.

Although there had originally been twenty-six Banderos sons, the number was much less now. Each one of them had a job—Scribe, vegetable gardens, patrols, border station duty, bakery, militia. It was a well-organized system that had benefited the whole family.

As Nineteenth Banderos emerged from the forest on his way to the northern border station, he immediately reined his horse to a walk at the alarming sight that appeared in the valley below. His young brothers, Rascal and Runt, were riding behind, accompanying him on his rounds, and he heard the hooves of their mounts slow on the trail. “The Shafoneurs have done it again,” he said, as the herd dogs circled around him.

I thought spring was in the air. I bought these at the grocery store, they are not from my garden. It isn’t that warm here. Aren’t they lovely?

But I was mistaken. Here is what happened on our deck tonight. The second time in a week

A dump of hail. Apparently spring is not in the air. What’s happening in your neck of the woods?

Sylvie Grayson delivers another thrilling romantic mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat— a gripping story of suspense with characters that you’ll root for and a plot that pulls you in.

After years of taking courses and jumping through hoops to get licensed, Jake Murdoch is more than ready to open his private investigator’s office. Leah Bonnar, a family friend and childhood irritant who blames him for a past disaster in her life, steps in to volunteer as his assistant. Given he’s not making money yet, he needs her help to get things up and running. Yet as the cases start pouring in, she organizes the hell out of him. Jake is attracted to Leah, and grudgingly grateful for her help in equal measure. Despite their history, their relationship heats up.

But in the midst of his investigations, Jake steps on the toes of a couple of very determined con men and Leah is sitting right in the crosshairs of their revenge. Can Jake find the evidence he needs to stop the criminals, while protecting Leah from their efforts to bring his investigation to a halt?

I looked up General Haig the other day and found this quote from him-

“That’s not a lie, it’s a terminological inexactitude. Also, a tactical misrepresentation.”

(General Alexander Haig, Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan)

Clever man, clever words. What exactly is he saying? A lie by any other name….

Another clever man whose words always ring true, is Mark Twain. As a writer, I love this one – “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”

What clever phrases ring true for you?
