“Cleverly told,” a reviewer from Authors’ Cave said about Lita Burke’s Old Bony Blue Eyes. “I’d highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good fantasy read.”

We take a side trip today to hobnob with a visitor who just returned from Lita’s Clockpunk Wizard world.

Chameleon over at Authors’ Cave recently picked up Lita Burke’s Old Bony Blue Eyes, looked it over, and honored it with an Excellence In Authorship 5 Star Review. In Old Bony Blue Eyes, a wizard faces a dangerous journey to Sir Death’s castle to win a powerful spell book for a love-starved dragon. Here is the back cover blurb. If Gentle Reader wants to jump right in, here is the FREE first chapter. Also stop by and see the book trailer.

What lovely things Chameleon had to say! Lita blushed when she read all the kind words. Here is how the Authors’ Cave review began:

This was a fun and entertaining read. It was my first book in the Genre of Clockpunk Fantasy, and I was really pleasantly surprised. There is strong character and world building here, and the subtle humor of some of the situations had me smiling often.

There is more. Find out exactly what made Chameleon smile. And learn which part of Lita’s story made the reviewer weep. Be sure to visit Chameleon’s blog at The Write Place and read the rest of her critique in “Book Review: Old Bony Blue Eyes by Lita Burke.”

Authors’ Cave Blog Train

Welcome aboard Lita Burke’s train car for the Authors’ Cave Blog Train.

Lita cordially invites Gentle Reader to the Grand Launch Festival Day for Authors’ Cave on Facebook or Google+ this Tuesday, July 22, 2014, 8-11am EDT.

Lita Must Rattle on About Herself

Back to the blog train social niceties. Authors’ Cave asked Lita to introduce herself. For those who are visiting Lita’s blog for the first time, here is a short introduction to your blog train hostess:

A wizard seeks a magical thingummy to free his kidnapped familiar.

Lita Burke writes fantasy and Clockpunk stories. Lita fancies herself living in a castle in the misty northern realms, where she is a humble scribe for the ramblings of wizards and enchanters. Her blog is a journal detailing those magicians’ fantasy worlds.

Look to the sidebars for the elevator pitches for two of Lita’s stories in the Clockpunk Wizard series.

Here are three words to describe Lita’s stories: immersive, magic-filled, and creative.

A wizard faces a peril-filled journey to Sir Death’s castle to win a powerful spell book for a love-starved dragon.

Lita’s work in progress is the next tale in the Clockpunk Wizard world. In Glitter Ponies, Lady Luck’s daughter helps a wizard discover the cause of a mysterious unicorn illness.

Lita’s favorite thing about Authors’ Cave (called Book Review Depot, or “BRD” on Facebook) is the opportunity to read terrific books by indie authors and have Lita’s books read in return. BRD started a year ago as an organized read and review group, and has evolved into an indie author community providing writing resources and general support.
