Realm Makers is Proud to Present . . .

Faith & Fantasy Alliance

winning-trophyNovember was a crazy month with NaNoWriMo and Thanksgiving and all that fun stuff. Still, with your help, we managed to pull off the naming of Realm Maker’s very own Book of the Year Award.

For the first time, at the 2016 conference, we’ll be awarding . . .

The Realm Award!

Thank you to all who submitted suggestions and to all who voted. We appreciate you more than you know!

By Amy Brock McNew

Author. Blogger. Fighter.

Former nurse and martial artist.

Amy doesn’t just write speculative fiction, she lives and breathes it. She enthusiastically explores the strange, the supernatural, and the wonderfully weird. She pours her guts onto the pages she writes, honestly and brutally revealing herself in the process. Nothing is off limits. Her favorite question is “what if?” and she believes fiction can be truer than our sheltered and controlled realities.

This wife and mom is a lover of music, chocolate, the beach, and cherry vanilla Coke. Her home is a zoo, filled with teenagers–both hers and those she seems to collect–two dogs, a cat, and various fish and amphibians. Strangely enough, her kids are the ones who have to tell her to turn the music down.

It is her firm belief that everyone should have a theme song.

Originally from Arkansas, Amy currently resides in Indiana. She and her Taekwondo-instructor husband are constantly acting like overgrown kids–and loving every minute of it. She longs for the day when her husband retires, so she can write her adventures of love and war on a back porch overlooking the ocean.

In flip flops.
