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.

A chance to get out of the house?

I finally got back on my bicycle, looking for some fresh air and exercise. It feels great, but have you ever noticed that having a break from activity for a few months means you lose ground? It has been too cold and wet and has only been seasonably warm in the past few weeks. That was enough to encourage me to go out. I know it will take some weeks to get back on track. But for the moment I’m timing my ride, taking fewer breaks each day, and feeling grateful for the chance to be out in the open. Luckily we live in a rural area where we can get out to bike or walk without being met by lockdown problems.

The daffodils are out in full force (above) and I came across a tulip tree (below). The blooms are gorgeous. I know that bush has another name.

What’s blooming in your neck of the woods? (Do people even say that anymore?) Drop me a note and let me know.

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.

Spring in the air?

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?
