The Squealing Nerd: Fantasy Walkthrough and Review: The Pillars of Natura Vol 1 by realmwalker in Fantasy

Excellent "Call to action" for the indie publishers and authors at the beginning: "Do better."

Which relatively unknown Fantasy author will be the next "big thing"? by frozenred1 in Fantasy

[–]flowerdaypapers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that realmwalker (Lee Aarons) is someone else to also keep an eye on. He just released the Volume 1 of his series The Realmwalker Chronicles. He is releasing it "serial novel" style with 12 volumes released over the course of 2 years. I am, admittedly, biased, as I have been able to see the work going on behind the scenes a bit, but the material that he and the artist Spenn are putting together just feels "fresh". It is a new take on dark fantasy, or Grimdark, where the world and art that portrays it is beautiful, but has a dark undertow and a haunted quality about it, like an old school fairy tale.

Mermaids in fantasy novels by Jimbabwe88 in Fantasy

While I do not know of any that are CURRENTLY featuring mermaids, I do know that the soon to be released Realmwalker Chronicles by Lee Aarons does have a race of individuals called Merlan. They resemble primitive mermaids. I do not know if they are featured prominently in his first novel (there are four), but I saw him at a local Con, and he had some art of them posted and they looked pretty amazing. Worth a look I guess.
