Please tell us a bit about your book: Rise of the Fire Tamer: The Wordwick Games Book One — characters, plot, etc.

Rise of the Fire Tamer is the first book in "The Wordwick Games", an epic fantasy about five teens who wins the Wordwick Games contest to meet Henry Word, the inventor of the Games and to stay at Word Castle. Little do they know, this castle is a portal to other worlds. In the Wordwick Games, words are powerful and can be used as commodity, weapons, and communication.

This is a fast-paced adventure fantasy with lots of action, drama, and romance.

Here’s a description of Rise of the Fire Tamer from Melissa of 'The Bookshelf' –

“As the players travel through the land making friends and enemies, they must find a way to follow all the rules and win the game [by] becoming the best player, and the crowned ruler of Anachronia.

The teens encounter strange creatures and intense road blocks. With a world filled with war, trolls, wizards and even dragons it's hard to be bored. When the gamers feel like something is up they come to realize that the game may not just be a game, they fear that the damage they take and the life they're living is real.
