Cause of Concern
June 17th
The release day party will be held on June 17th.
The author is doing something special for the launch namely “A Cause for Concern”.
"A Cause for Concern" (Sunbolt book launch)
While most of Sunbolt is a fast-paced run-for-your-life kind of ride, one of the issues that drives the main characters is her love for her adopted land and her concern over the stranglehold Arch Mage Blackflame has on it. Let's just say he's not big on justice, public safety, or other civil rights.
Author and artist T.L. Shreffler will offer an original signed print depicting a scene from the heart of one of her stories as the second place prize. The giveaway is international. Blog hosts are welcome enter the giveaway. For your post:
"A Cause for Concern" celebrates the release of Sunbolt, a YA fantasy novella by Intisar Khanani. Sunbolt tells the story of Hitomi, a young woman with a propensity to play hero when people need saving, and her nemesis, a dark mage slowly amassing power in a bid to control the Eleven Kingdoms. Stories often have an issue at their heart, however big or small, global or personal. This week offers a chance for bloggers (and readers) who love stories to share the issues that are close to their hearts.

This is the artwork of author T.L. Shreffler, and a signed print is part of the giveaway.
T.L. Shreffler on her "Cause for Concern" artwork: "My "Cause for Concern" is the steadily declining quality of our natural habitat: the earth. We have holes in the ozone layer, global warming, polluted oceans and diminishing forests. I think it is our duty as humans to nurture the earth and protect it, especially because it is in our power to do so. This piece of art represents the love and reverence that we should hold for mother earth."
About Sunbolt Title:
Sunbolt Author: Intisar Khanani Genre: YA Fantasy The winding streets and narrow alleys of Karolene hide many secrets, and Hitomi is one of them. Orphaned at a young age, Hitomi has learned to hide her magical aptitude and who her parents really were. Most of all, she must conceal her role in the Shadow League, an underground movement working to undermine the powerful and corrupt Arch Mage Wilhelm Blackflame. When the League gets word that Blackflame intends to detain—and execute—a leading political family, Hitomi volunteers to help the family escape. But there are more secrets at play than Hitomi’s, and much worse fates than execution. When Hitomi finds herself captured along with her charges, it will take everything she can summon to escape with her life.

Author Bio
Intisar Khanani grew up a nomad and world traveler. Born in Wisconsin, she has lived in five different states as well as in Jeddah on the coast of the Red Sea. She first remembers seeing snow on a wintry street in Zurich, Switzerland, and vaguely recollects having breakfast with the orangutans at the Singapore Zoo when she was five. She currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio, with her husband and two young daughters. Until recently, Intisar wrote grants and developed projects to address community health with the Cincinnati Health Department, which was as close as she could get to saving the world. Now she focuses her time on her two passions: raising her family and writing fantasy. Intisar is hard at work on two new projects. The first is a companion trilogy to her debut novel Thorn, following the heroine introduced in her free short story The Bone Knife. The second project, The Sunbolt Chronicles, is a novella series following the efforts of a young mage as she strives to bring down her nemesis, a corrupt and dangerous Arch Mage who means to bring the Eleven Kingdoms under his control.

My Cause is Autism. Please go here and buy shirt!
Thanks so much for taking part in "A Cause for Concern." Autism is a serious issue, and one that is often misunderstood (though, thankfully, that seems to be getting better). Still, there is so much that can be done for identifying individuals with autism and providing the services and support they need. Thanks for your post!
