Author Talk: Jody Norman

New Trails fantasy series
Tuesday, August 23, 3:00pm

Jody Norman will speak about her fantasy series at the library on Tuesday, August 23. The first book in the New Trails series is Troy’s story, a tale of an epic journey across a threshold into a world of mystery and magic, where he must do what he has never done before – trust. Before it’s too late.

“I love thresholds, and portals, and passing through them. Places where you’re not quite here and not quite there. Or in other words, liminal spaces. To me, this is where potential and opportunity wait for the unwary passersby, and I enjoy placing my characters in these places and seeing them revealed for who they truly are and can be,” says Jody.

“Nature and myself have an intimate relationship, and it’s key to all my writing, running through my novels like the fractal veins of a watershed. And since I believe that nature includes our place in the universe, astronomy and quantum physics and cosmology (not to mention parapsychology and the paranormal) all inform the structure of my fantasy worlds.”

Book 1 of the New Trails series is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble; you can download the first five chapters at https://trail-talk.com/
