Taking ‘What If’ to a Scary Place in the New Fiction Book “Six Keys”

A fan of all things horror, Meg Garcia has crafted a series of short stories that take ordinary circumstances to an original place, blowing your mind with every turn of the page.

Ft. Wayne, IN (USA), May 13th, 2017 — Let your imagination run wild and see where it will take you. In Meg Garcia’s first book “Six Keys” that is exactly what she did. A fan of all things horror, Garcia has crafted a series of short stories that take ordinary circumstances to an original place, blowing your mind with every turn of the page. Readers will find themselves on the edges of their seats, wondering what unexpected terror awaits them.

“I’ve always been a fan of the horror genre and wanted to create a series of stories that would hold the reader’s attention,” said Meg Garcia. “I wanted create an emotional roller coaster ride for readers, building suspense until they were scared to look over their shoulder, so engrossed in the stories that the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred.”

Garcia began writing over the past year as an emotional outlet to help in the healing process after losing her fourth children in a premature birth. She found that the act of writing down her nightmares helped to ease the pain in a way that other therapies couldn’t.

“The first story in “Six Keys” is actually a retelling of a recurring nightmare I had after my child passed,” said Garcia. “It was so haunting that I had to put it on paper to be able to examine and understand it more clearly. That led to other scenarios in which I asked the question “what if” and it led me to some pretty crazy situations.”

Each story in “Six Keys’ is its own entity and yet as readers progress through the book they will begin to find threads that lead them to find a common connection in the end. Garcia is already working on taking a few of the characters that are introduced in her first book and expanding on them in their own future stories.

“I fell in love with some of the characters and I can’t wait to see where their stories take me,” said Garcia.

Garcia hopes that readers will be inspired to open the door to their own imagination as they read her stories. Writing has helped her find her voice again and wants others who are experiencing pain and loss to know that there is hope, there is a light at the end of the suffering.

Meg Garcia is already planning several book signing events in her local book stores and plans to donate a portion of the profits to her local library. As a mother of three and caregiver for four additional children, Meg spends hours writing and reading to her children, helping them uncover their own stories through pictures and words.

“Six Keys” is now available at Halo Publishing, Amazon and Barnes and Noble, in hard cover for $19.95, paperback for $14.95 and as an e-book for $8.99.

Illinois Writer’s “The Magician’s Doll” Earns Children’s Literary Classics Seal of Approval

LaFox, Illinois-based author M.L. Roble is pleased to announce that her book, “The Magician’s Doll,” was recently selected to receive the Children’s Literary Classics Seal of Approval.

LaFox, IL (USA), June 25, 2014 — LaFox, Illinois-based author M.L. Roble is pleased to announce that her book, “The Magician’s Doll,” was recently selected to receive the Children’s Literary Classics Seal of Approval.

The Children’s Literary Classics Seal of Approval is a designation reserved for books that uphold the rigorous criteria set forth by the Children’s Literary Classics review committee, which is comprised of individuals with backgrounds in publishing, editing, writing, illustration and graphic design. Children’s Literary Classics, an organization dedicated to furthering excellence in children’s literature, takes great pride in its role to help promote classic children’s literature that appeals to youth while educating and encouraging positive values in the impressionable young minds of future generations.

“The Children’s Literary Classics Seal of Approval celebrates the qualities I love in great children’s stories, and I am thrilled “The Magician’s Doll” has received this honor from an organization I admire so much,” Roble said.

“The Magician’s Doll” is a suspenseful mystery with a unique storyline and well-developed characters that completely captivate readers. Unique plot twists, interspersed with a bit of humor, help make the book an exciting and engaging read. Subtle references to life messages that teach positive values to young readers are an added bonus.

The story centers on 12-year-old Natalie, who becomes embroiled in a battle between good and evil. Having a psychic for a mother is not really something she wishes to advertise. As uncomfortable as Natalie is with her mother’s unconventional behavior, it’s only natural that she would find it vexing when she begins “seeing” things herself.

Natalie’s life takes an interesting turn when Phillip, the shy neighbor boy, starts hanging around. When they find themselves at a magician’s performance at the circus, Natalie meets the magician’s doll and is drawn into a powerful world of magic and mystery. As the story unfolds, readers will encounter a gripping fantasy that appeals to girls, boys—and even adults.

In addition to garnering the Children’s Literary Classics Seal of Approval, “The Magician’s Doll” has also received national recognition from the prestigious 8th Annual 2014 National Indie Excellence® Awards. The book was chosen as a finalist for the Pre-teen Fiction category, based on overall excellence of presentation in addition to the writing. M.L. Roble is also the proud author of “Encounter Way: A Novella of Supernatural Suspense.” Both of her books are available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.
