The Girl in the Toile Wallpaper by Mary K. Savarese
Hello Everyone,
And welcome to Trumpet Tuesday. I am award winning author and speaker Mary K. Savarese. I am traditionally published. My second novel, The Girl In The Toile Wallpaper was released on September 6th by Indignor House. It is a fantasy adventure trilogy intertwined with romance.
WHY IT IS NOT JUST ENOUGH TO PRAISE HIM
We honor Him through our actions and words. We praise Him by attending daily or weekly service. Is this enough? I would like to add one more to this. We as Christians need to bring others into the fold. This is what He asks of us, To Spread His Word. How do we do this?
As a fiction author I have chosen to write novels for the Christian Marketplace. I want to write stories that will inspire, feed the soul, give rise to information some may have forgotten or others just learning. Stories that let your mind journey to beautiful places. I choose not to titillate but to keep the storyline sometimes left to the imagination. This is how I love to glorify Him, through my stories, my novels.
As an Author I love to begin with a quirky title. Something that has inspired me. In my first novel, a cozy mystery romance with a spiritual twist, Tigers Love Bubble Baths & Obsession Perfume (who knew!) I witnessed a 600 lb Siberian tiger jump into a vat of bubbles and have Obsession perfume sprayed on his tongue. I incorporated my Catholic Faith and the twists and turns Catholics growing up deal with within a mystery romance. In The Girl In The Toile Wallpaper, the first Book of the StarWriters Trilogy, so inspired was I over this artistic wallcovering and fabric, I incorporated one of my favorite prayers, The Irish Breastplate. It is very much a part of one of my main characters aptly named Patrick.
And as you learn something about faith through my stories, I hope to bring others into the fold, and hopefully, those that have possibly left on their own accord, to return.
Storyline & Reviews:
Book 1 of the StarWriters Trilogy follows twelve-year old Tyler Charles as he struggles to rescue the love of his life, Callalyly of the House of Montevelli of Siena. Tyler, however, is allowed to call her, Lyly. Tyler lives within the world of today, and Lyly lives inside a world that existed over two centuries ago. When he’s pulled through a lantern portal and slides into a two dimensional world of the toile wallpaper, Tyler must remember his class physics to reverse the effects of an evil wizard’s spell. When he finally cracks the code and reverses the effects, Tyler finds himself two centuries into the past where noblemen and women dwell, and where the world is quite different. It is in the past where Tyler finally discovers the true meaning of friendship and learns to work around the daily hardships and emotional traumas of life.
“Savarese’s novel is an inventive and original portal fantasy that avoids the genre’s most overused clichés. At moments the story evokes Doctor Who and A Wrinkle in Time, though the plot is unlike anything the reader is likely to have read. Savarese piles incident upon incident, and readers who enjoy a quirky science fiction story with magic and a hint of romance will find much here to entertain.”
-US Review of Books
“Savarese is skilled at contrasting medieval and modern worlds, flowing between them in a manner that is enlightening and creates no confusion in the transition process, which creates a seamless story based not just on one or two main characters, but a host of special interests and It is written in the stars!” Fantasy fans of high school age and older who look for a blend of mystery, history, and spell-binding intrigue will relish the journey and discoveries which defy time, space, and death.”
— Diane Donovan, Midwest Review
