The best fantasy novels not only offer us a means of escape, but help us better explore the real issues of the world, under the veil of symbol and myth.I think this is why there are so many fantasy best sellers, in print or Kindle, because it answers to a core human need—the desire to understand ourselves and the world around us.Q - So, what makes these books a must read?A - Because they explore how memories affect us, how altering them can alter entire worlds and change entire lives. They offer a further glimpse into the world of Iraldas, which is populated by the peculiar and the strange. Expect high fantasy romance, political intrigue, magic and wizards, and a whole lot of meddling with people's memories.The bottom line: If you enjoy quick reads that leave a lasting effect, then these stories are for you.Q - Can readers expect more stories set in Iraldas?A - Definitely. I've been working on more short stories in the Memory Magus series. There will be plenty more to follow, and I hope to flesh out the world of Iraldas even more in the months and years to come.Thanks for reading!The Memory Magus Fantasy Series eBook Categories:- Fantasy Politics- Epic Fantasy Politics- Magic Politics- High Fantasy Magic- High Fantasy Wizard- Fantasy Best Sellers- Fantasy Quick Reads
