Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy book that may not be THE best book out this year, but if you believe national reviewers, it certainly is in the running for one of the best fantasy books. The title is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you like Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter type books, this may be one you'll enjoy.
If you'd like to try a free pdf eBook demo of Blackgloom, email me at FiveStarAuthor@aol.com. No obligation.
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.

In my opinion, if you like Fantasy, check out "The Iron Tree" by Cecilia Dart-Thornton. It's a really wild and verbose fantasy that is beautifully written and grabs your attention from the first page. She has a sequel called "The Well of Tears," but try the first book, you won't be dissapointed.
