Monthly Blogger CJ England!!

Hey all,

Thanks to Romance Junkies for allowing me to become a monthly guest blogger.

Eyes Of Fire by CJ EnglandYou’ll see my posts at the end of every month on the 30th.  I love to chat with my readers and I really enjoy spending time at RJ.  And of course, the reviews here are always a treat.                                                                                             .

Today I wanted to remind everyone about my newest book.  As most of you may know, The Mylari Chronicles: Eyes of Fire released recently. I’ve already had several wonderful reader reviews where it’s being sold at My Bookstore and More and that means the world to me.

Let me give you a brief blurb…

An ancient prophecy comes to life in an erotic tale of forbidden love.

Talia’s visit home turns upside down when dark, frightening creatures appear seemingly from nowhere and transport her to another world. The faerie world. In this mystical paradise, she finds her life and honor threatened for reasons she does not understand.

When Calion Sáralondë, Prince of the Calen’taur Elves, rescues the human female from an orcan stronghold, his attraction to her is immediate and strong. And the feeling is mutual. Though their love is sardai—taboo—Calion can’t bring himself to send her back to her world. Her presence sets a fire in his soul only mating with her can tame.

And their passion could be the answer to an ancient prophecy that saves his world.

Cool, huh? Wait till you read it! Reviewer and readers alike use words like, “beautiful writing”, “sensational”, “uniquely creative”, and “breathtaking imagery” to describe it.

I’ve also had a few emails asking me where I get my ideas, so I thought it might be interesting to show you where some of the ideas for beyond the faerie myst came from. From dark forests to painted valleys, our own earth holds a myriad of inspirations. Join me now as I take you to Beyond the Faerie Myst…in our own backyard.

forCJMystThe Myst…in the book, the barrier between the human world and the world of the faerie. I got the idea on a cross country trip from Florida to Idaho. We were traveling through North Carolina and suddenly found ourselves in a place beyond time. Something unexplainable happened then. Where it should have only taken us a day or so to get through, it wound up taking us two weeks.
What happened to us during those two weeks? Were we transported beyond the Myst? We never found out, but we’ve never forgotten. And thus, a story is born.

The Valley of Osali…which in the human tongue means “Perfection”. FoCJ Osali
And for those of you who don’t recognize this magnificent place, it is the one and only Yosemite Valley. Painted by the Creator’s brush, it is one of the most beautiful areas in the world.


This is the inspiration for the kingdom where Calion and the Calen’taur elves make their home. Filled with serenity, magick and tradition, Yosemite fills all the above requirements.
It is here where the prophecy will come to pass.

For CJ WhisperingfallsWhispering Falls…A Place of love and enchantment. Where Talia and Calion first join together and destiny is fulfilled.
A beautiful place taken from one of the many gorgeous waterfall areas in Northern Oregon and Southern Washington. Each with their own mystery and secrets.


Shimmering lights in the sky point to the Aurora Borealis which sometimes can be seen that far south, and the hidden hot springs, are a nod to the many exquisite places that every traveler should visit just once.

In the book you’ll hear me mention the Forest of Mysyr. It is a dark place, filled with FORCJ Forestheaviness, yet a strange, almost unnatural beauty. I used as my inspiration the rain forest near the coast of Northern California.
I’ve spent many an enjoyable time wandering through these massive giants and I always felt the trees were watching and wondering about me.


It’s that sense of spookiness that I tried to convey in the story,
Eyes of Fire.

Those are just a few of the inspirations for my magical world behind the faerie myst. To learn more about Talia, Calion and their friends and foes, purchase the book and enjoy. And let me know if you recognize any of the other places in the story. It’s all true, you know. Every word. The Myst is real and so are the places beyond the veil.

And remember, when you do purchase The Mylari Chronicles: Eyes of Fire, send me a copy of your receipt. I have a great THANK YOU GIFT, just for you! 

And just for you RJ Bloggers, if you leave me a comment about this post, I’ll put you in a drawing for a goodie bag of Eyes of Fire Promo gifts, plus a beautiful dreamcatcher to remind you to always…Follow Your Dreams.

    Hi again CJ,

    My husband and I have always wanted to venture out West. I will definitely remember to make that one of the places to see! I have seen Niagra Falls which was absolutely amazing! We also rode the boat that takes you near the falls. Awesome!

    My husband and I traveled to Georgia two summers ago and drove through the mountains at the top of Georgia and saw a beautiful waterfall on the side of the highway that went under the road and down into a river below. We stopped and spent about an hour just soaking in the beauty of the place. It was so peaceful and tranquil. I understand completely the magic of a beautiful waterfall. You feel so at peace after you leave as if you have been washed anew.

    Many blessings to you!
    Hugs,
    Melis L.

    Hey Melis,

    Nice to meet you. I’m glad I’m here to chat with all of you. I wasn’t a blogger, but I’m getting sucked in. LOL And that’s a good thing.

    As for Whispering Falls. It is a beautiful place. Anytime you have a chance to head to the Northwest, you will find some of the most gorgeous waterfalls on the planet in some very lovely forests.

    Hugs,

    CJ

    Hi CJ,
    How do you find the time to do so much???
    In the 70’s, my hippie days, I went cross-country and spent some time in a commune in the Northern California National Park & Forest. I didn’t have my camera, traveling lite, but I’ll never forget what it was like and your pictures reminded me of that time. It was like being in a cathedral ~ mystical, spiritual, awe-inspiring.
    Thanks for reminding me.
